Ten legates from Rome arrive and establish the specific terms of peace for Philip, including the liberation of Greek cities, limitations on military forces and ships, and monetary indemnities, with variations noted by historians Valerius Antias and Claudius.
paucos post dies decem legati ab Roma venerunt, quorum ex consilio pax data Philippo in has leges est, ut omnes Graecorum civitates, quae in Europa quaeque in Asia essent, libertatem ac suas haberent leges; quae earum1 sub dicione Philippi fuissent, praesidia ex iis Philippus deduceret vacuasque traderet Romanis ante Isthmiorum tempus;
A few days later, ten legates arrived from Rome, on whose advice peace was granted to Philip on the following terms: that all the Greek cities, both those in Europe and those in Asia, should have their liberty and their own laws; that from those which had been under the dominion of Philip, Philip should withdraw his garrisons and deliver them up vacant to the Romans before the time of the Isthmian Games;
deduceret et ex iis, quae in Asia essent, Euromo Pedasisque et Bargyliis et Iaso et Myrina et Abydo et Thaso et Perintho:
and that he should also withdraw them from those in Asia, namely Euromus, Pedasa, Bargyliae, Iasus, Myrina, Abydus, Thasos, and Perinthus;
eas quoque enim placere liberas esse; de Cianorum libertate Quinctium Prusiae, Bithynorum regi, scribere,2 quid senatui et decem legatis placuisset;
for it was resolved that these also should be free; and concerning the liberty of the Cians, Quinctius was to write to Prusias, king of the Bithynians, what had pleased the senate and the ten legates;
captivos transfugasque reddere Philippum Romanis et navis omnis tectas tradere praeter quinque et regiam unam inhabilis prope magnitudinis, quam sedecim versus remorum agebant;
that Philip should restore the captives and deserters to the Romans, and deliver up all his decked ships except five, and one royal vessel of almost unmanageable size, which sixteen banks of oars propelled;
ne plus quinque milia armatorum haberet neve elephantum ullum; bellum extra Macedoniae fines ne iniussu senatus gereret;
that he should not have more than five thousand armed men, nor any elephant; and that he should not wage war outside the borders of Macedonia without the order of the senate;
mille talentum daret populo Romano, dimidium praesens, dimidium pensionibus decem annorum.3 Valerius Antias quaternum milium pondo argenti vectigal in decem annos impositum regi tradit; Claudius in annos triginta quaterna milia pondo et ducena,4 in praesens viginti milia pondo.
that he should pay a thousand talents to the Roman people, one half immediately, and the other half in ten annual installments. Valerius Antias records that a tribute of four thousand pounds of silver each year for ten years was imposed on the king; Claudius writes that four thousand two hundred pounds each year for thirty years, and twenty thousand pounds immediately (were imposed).
idem nominatim adiectum scribit, ne cum Eumene Attali filio — novus is tum rex erat — bellum gereret.
The same author writes that it was explicitly added that he should not wage war with Eumenes, the son of Attalus — who was then a new king.
in haec obsides accepti, inter quos Demetrius Philippi filius. adicit Antias Valerius Attalo absenti Aeginam insulam elephantosque dono datos, et Rhodiis Stratoniceam Cariaeque alias urbes, quas Philippus tenuisset; Atheniensibus insulas datas Parum, Imbrum, Delum, Scyrum.
On these terms hostages were received, among whom was Demetrius, the son of Philip. Valerius Antias adds that the island of Aegina and the elephants were given as a gift to the absent Attalus, and to the Rhodians, Stratonicea and other cities of Caria which Philip had held; and to the Athenians, the islands of Paros, Imbros, Delos, and Scyros were given.
- 33.30.2earum
A partitive genitive (genitive of the whole) referring to the Greek cities ("civitates"), which serve as the antecedent of the relative clause.
- 33.30.4placere... scribere
Since the terms of the peace are presented in indirect speech, they are in the accusative-and-infinitive (AcI) construction. "placere" is impersonal, taking "eas... liberas esse" as its subject, while "scribere" is an infinitive with "Quinctium" as its subject accusative.
- 33.30.8pensionibus decem annorum
An ablative of means or manner, meaning "by installments of ten years." A verb such as "solvendum esse" is understood.
- 33.30.8Claudius... ducena
Contrasted with the preceding "Valerius Antias... tradit," the account of another historian, Claudius Quadrigarius, is presented. A verb like "tradit" or "scribit" is omitted, and "quaterna milia pondo et ducena" (4,200 pounds) is the accusative denoting the amount imposed on the king.
