King Philip, with the consul's permission, marched on the chaotic city of Demetrias and accepted its surrender. He also ensured the safe return of Antiochus' garrison and recovered several neighboring regions and cities.
per idem tempus Philippus rex proficiscentem consulem ad Naupactum percunctatus, si se interim, quae defecissent ab societate Romana, urbes recipere vellet,1 permittente eo ad Demetriadem copias admovit haud ignarus, quanta ibi tum turbatio esset.
Around the same time, King Philip, having inquired of the consul who was setting out for Naupactus, whether he wished him in the meantime to recover the cities which had revolted from the Roman alliance, with his permission, moved his forces toward Demetrias, being by no means ignorant of how great a state of confusion was there at that time.
destituti enim ab omni spe, cum desertos se ab Antiocho, spem nullam in Aetolis esse cernerent, dies noctesque aut Philippi hostis adventum aut infestiorem etiam, quo iustius irati erant, Romanorum2 expectabant.
For, destitute of all hope, when they perceived that they were deserted by Antiochus and that there was no hope in the Aetolians, they were expecting day and night either the arrival of their enemy Philip, or the even more hostile arrival of the Romans, who were angry with more justice.
turba erat ibi incondita regiorum, qui primo pauci in praesidio relicti, postea plures, plerique inermes, ex proelio adverso fuga delati, nec virium nec animi satis ad obsidionem tolerandam habebant;
There was there a disorderly crowd of the king’s men, who, at first a few left in the garrison, afterwards more, most of them unarmed, carried there in flight from the adverse battle, had neither enough strength nor spirit to endure a siege;
itaque praemissis a Philippo, qui spem impetrabilis veniae ostendebant, responderunt3 patere portas regi.
therefore, to those sent ahead by Philip, who held out hope of a pardon that could be obtained, they replied that the gates were open to the king.
ad primum eius ingressum principum quidam urbe excesserunt, Eurylochus mortem sibi conscivit. Antiochi milites — sic enim pacti erant — per Macedoniam Thraeciamque prosequentibus Macedonibus, ne quis eos violaret, Lysimachiam deducti sunt.
Upon his first entrance, some of the leading men departed from the city, and Eurylochus committed suicide. Antiochus’ soldiers — for so they had agreed — were conducted to Lysimachia through Macedonia and Thrace under the escort of the Macedonians, so that no one should harm them.
erant et paucae naves Demetriade, quibus praeerat Isidorus; eae quoque cum praefecto suo dimissae sunt. inde Dolopiam et Aperantiam et Perrhaebiae quasdam civitates recipit.
There were also a few ships at Demetrias, which Isidorus commanded; these also were dismissed along with their commander. From there, he recovered Dolopia, Aperantia, and certain states of Perrhaebia.
- 36.33.1si se interim, quae defecissent ab societate Romana, urbes recipere vellet
An indirect question (si...vellet) where the subject of the main verb vellet is the consul (consulem). Meanwhile, the subject accusative of the infinitive clause (se ... recipere) is the reflexive pronoun se, referring back to the main subject Philip (Philippus). Thus, it means 'whether he (the consul) wished him (Philip) to recover... the cities'.
- 36.33.3infestiorem etiam, quo iustius irati erant, Romanorum
The comparative adjective infestiorem modifies adventum (arrival), and Romanorum is the genitive limiting it. The word quo is an ablative of degree of difference used with the comparative, indicating a correlation: 'the arrival of the Romans, which would be all the more hostile as they were angry with more justice'.
- 36.33.5praemissis ... responderunt
The dative plural perfect participle praemissis functions substantively as 'to those sent ahead' (omitting an explicit noun like nuntiis or legatis) and serves as the indirect object of responderunt (they replied).
