The forces of consul Manlius arrive at Antioch near the Maeander, where a dispute over the corn supply for Attalus' auxiliaries is resolved, followed by the surrender of Tabae.
fanum ibi augustum Apollinis et oraculum; sortes versibus haud inconditis dare vates dicuntur.1
There was an august temple of Apollo and an oracle; the prophets are said to give their responses in verses that are by no means rude.
hinc alteris castris ad Harpasum flumen ventum est, quo legati ab Alabandis venerunt, ut castellum, quod ab ipsis nuper descisset, aut auctoritate aut armis cogeret iura antiqua pati.2 eodem et Athenaeus, Eumenis et Attali frater, cum Cretense Leuso et Corrago Macedone venit; mille pedites mixtarum gentium et trecentos equites secum adduxerunt.
From here, in a second encampment, they came to the river Harpasus, where ambassadors came from the Alabandians, in order that the consul, either by authority or by arms, might compel a fort, which had recently revolted from them, to submit to its ancient duties. To the same place came also Athenaeus, the brother of Eumenes and Attalus, with Leusus the Cretan and Corragus the Macedonian; they brought with them a thousand infantry of mixed nations and three hundred cavalry.
consul tribuno militum misso cum modica manu castellum vi cepit, captum Alabandensibus reddit. ipse nihil via degressus ad Antiochiam super Maeandrum amnem posuit castra.
The consul, having sent a military tribune with a moderate force, took the fort by storm, and restored it, when taken, to the Alabandians. He himself, without departing at all from his route, pitched camp near Antioch on the river Maeander.
huius amnis fontes Celaenis oriuntur. Celaenae urbs caput quondam Phrygiae fuit; migratum inde haud procul veteribus Celaenis, novaeque urbi Apameae nomen inditum ab Apama sorore Seleuci regis.
The sources of this river rise at Celaenae. The city of Celaenae was formerly the capital of Phrygia; from there the inhabitants migrated to a place not far from ancient Celaenae, and to the new city the name of Apamea was given, from Apama, the sister of King Seleucus.
et Marsyas amnis, haud procul a Maeandri fontibus oriens, in Maeandrum cadit, famaque ita tenet, Celaenis Marsyan cum Apolline tibiarum cantu certasse.
The river Marsyas also, rising not far from the sources of the Maeander, falls into the Maeander, and the story goes that at Celaenae, Marsyas contended with Apollo in singing with the pipes.
Maeander ex arce summa Celaenarum ortus, media urbe decurrens, per Caras primum, deinde Ionas in sinum maris editur, qui inter Prienen et Miletum est.
The Maeander, rising from the highest citadel of Celaenae and running through the middle of the city, empties itself, first through the Carians, then the Ionians, into a gulf of the sea which is between Priene and Miletus.
ad Antiochiam in castra consulis Seleucus, Antiochi filius, ex foedere icto cum Scipione ad frumentum exercitui dandum venit.
To Antioch, into the camp of the consul, came Seleucus, the son of Antiochus, in accordance with the treaty made with Scipio, to supply corn for the army.
parva disceptatio de Attali auxiliaribus orta est, quod Romano tantum militi pactum Antiochum ut daretur3 frumentum Seleucus dicebat.
A small dispute arose concerning the auxiliaries of Attalus, because Seleucus said that Antiochus had only agreed that corn should be given to the Roman soldier.
discussa ea quoque est constantia consulis, qui misso tribuno edixit, ne Romani milites acciperent, priusquam Attali auxilia accepissent.
This dispute also was dispelled by the firmness of the consul, who, having sent a tribune, ordered that the Roman soldiers should not receive any until the auxiliaries of Attalus had received theirs.
inde ad Gordiutichos quod vocant processum est. ex eo loco ad Tabas tertiis castris perventum. in finibus Pisidarum posita urbs est, in ea parte, quae vergit ad Pamphylium mare. integris viribus regionis eius feroces ad bellandum habebat viros.
From there they proceeded to the place they call Gordiutichos. From that place, in a third encampment, they arrived at Tabae. This city is situated within the borders of the Pisidians, in that part which slopes towards the Pamphylian Sea. Since the strength of that region was unimpaired, it possessed men fierce in waging war.
tum quoque equites in agmen Romanum eruptione facta haud modice primo impetu turbavere; deinde, ut apparuit nec numero se nec virtute pares esse, in urbem compulsi veniam erroris petebant, dedere urbem parati.
Then too, their cavalry made a sally against the Roman column and threw them into no small confusion at the first onset; afterwards, when it appeared that they were equal neither in number nor in valor, being driven back into the city, they begged pardon for their error, ready to surrender the city.
quinque et viginti talenta argenti et decem milia medimnum tritici imperata; ita in deditionem accepti.
Twenty-five talents of silver and ten thousand medimni of wheat were imposed upon them; thus they were received into surrender.
- 38.13.1vates dicuntur
A personal construction (nominative with infinitive, nominativus cum infinitivo) with the plural subject vates, rather than the impersonal dicitur with an accusative and infinitive.
- 38.13.3ut ... cogeret iura antiqua pati
The ut clause expresses purpose. The implied subject of the subjunctive cogeret is the consul. The verb cogeret governs an accusative (castellum) and infinitive (pati) construction, meaning 'to compel the fort to submit to ancient rights'.
- 38.13.9pactum Antiochum ut daretur
The structure pactum [esse] Antiochum in indirect speech. pactum esse is a perfect passive infinitive introducing the noun clause ut daretur ... as its subject, with Antiochum acting as the agent. Literally, 'that it had been agreed by Antiochus that corn should be given...'.
