§18.10.1ταχὺ δὲ συγκαταθεμένων ἁπάντων διὰ τὸ θεωρεῖν τὸν Τίτον οὐκ ἀλλότριον ὄντα τῆς ἐπὶ τὴν σύγκλητον ἀναφορᾶς, §18.10.2ἔδοξε συγχωρεῖν τῷ Φιλίππῳ πρεσβεύειν εἰς τὴν Ῥώμην, ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ παρʼ αὑτῶν πέμπειν ἑκάστους πρεσβευτὰς τοὺς διαλεχθησομένους τῇ συγκλήτῳ καὶ κατηγορήσοντας τοῦ Φιλίππου.
Since everyone quickly agreed because they saw that Titus was not averse to referring the matter to the Senate, it was decided to permit Philip to send an embassy to Rome, and likewise that each of them should also send ambassadors on their own part to confer with the Senate and to accuse Philip.
§18.10.3τοῦ δὲ πράγματος τῷ Τίτῳ τοῦ κατὰ τὸν σύλλογον κατὰ νοῦν καὶ κατὰ τοὺς ἐξ ἀρχῆς διαλογισμοὺς προκεχωρηκότος, παραυτίκα τὸ συνεχὲς τῆς ἐπιβολῆς ἐξύφαινε, τά τε καθʼ αὑτὸν ἀσφαλιζόμενος ἐπιμελῶς καὶ πρόλημμα τῷ Φιλίππῳ ποιῶν οὐδέν.
Since the business of the conference had proceeded according to the mind of Titus and his original calculations, he at once began to weave the next stage of his design, carefully securing his own position and giving Philip no advantage.
§18.10.4δοὺς γὰρ ἀνοχὰς διμήνους αὐτῷ τὴν μὲν πρεσβείαν τὴν εἰς τὴν Ῥώμην ἐν τούτῳ τῷ χρόνῳ συντελεῖν ἐπέταξε, τὰς δὲ φρουρὰς ἐξάγειν παραχρῆμα τὰς ἐκ τῆς Φωκίδος καὶ Λοκρίδος ἐκέλευσε.
For having granted him a two months' truce, he ordered him to complete the embassy to Rome within this period, while commanding him to withdraw his garrisons from Phocis and Locris immediately.
§18.10.5διετάξατο δὲ καὶ περὶ τῶν ἰδίων συμμάχων φιλοτίμως, ἵνα κατὰ μηδένα τρόπον μηδὲν εἰς αὐτοὺς ἀδίκημα γίνηται κατὰ τοῦτον τὸν χρόνον ὑπὸ Μακεδόνων.
He also made regulations regarding his own allies with keen interest, in order that in no way should any wrong be done to them by the Macedonians during this time.
§18.10.6ταῦτα δὲ ποιήσας πρὸς τὸν Φίλιππον ἔγγραπτα, λοιπὸν αὐτὸς ἤδη διʼ αὑτοῦ τὸ προκείμενον ἐπετέλει.
Having committed these terms to writing for Philip, he then proceeded to carry out the task before him on his own part.
§18.10.7καὶ τὸν μὲν Ἀμύνανδρον εἰς τὴν Ῥώμην ἐξέπεμπε παραχρῆμα, γινώσκων αὐτὸν εὐάγωγον μὲν ὄντα καὶ ῥᾳδίως ἐξακολουθήσοντα τοῖς ἐκεῖ φίλοις, ἐφʼ ὁπότερʼ ἂν ἄγωσιν αὐτόν, φαντασίαν δὲ ποιήσοντα καὶ προσδοκίαν διὰ τὸ τῆς βασιλείας ὄνομα.
And he immediately dispatched Amynander to Rome, knowing that he was easily led and would readily follow his friends there wherever they might guide him, and would also produce an impression and high expectations due to his royal title.
§18.10.8μετὰ δὲ τοῦτον ἐξέπεμπε τοὺς παρʼ αὑτοῦ πρέσβεις, Κόιντόν τε τὸν Φάβιον, ὃς ἦν αὐτῷ τῆς γυναικὸς ἀδελφιδοῦς, καὶ Κόιντον Φολούιον, σὺν δὲ τούτοις Ἄππιον Κλαύδιον ἐπικαλούμενον Νέρωνα.
After him, he sent his own ambassadors: Quintus Fabius, who was his wife's nephew, and Quintus Fulvius, and with them Appius Claudius surnamed Nero.
§18.10.9παρὰ δὲ τῶν Αἰτωλῶν ἐπρέσβευον Ἀλέξανδρος Ἴσιος, Δαμόκριτος Καλυδώνιος, Δικαίαρχος Τριχωνιεύς, Πολέμαρχος Ἀρσινοεύς, §18.10.10Λάμιος Ἀμβρακιώτης, Νικόμαχος Ἀκαρνὰν τῶν ἐκ Θουρίου πεφευγότων κατοικούντων δʼ ἐν Ἀμβρακίᾳ, Θεόδοτος Φεραῖος, φυγὰς ἐκ Θετταλίας, §18.10.11κατοικῶν δʼ ἐν Στράτῳ, παρὰ δὲ τῶν Ἀχαιῶν Ξενοφῶν Αἰγιεύς, παρὰ δὲ τοῦ βασιλέως Ἀττάλου μόνος Ἀλέξανδρος, παρὰ δὲ τοῦ δήμου τῶν Ἀθηναίων οἱ περὶ Κηφισόδωρον.
On behalf of the Aetolians went as ambassadors Alexander Isius, Damocritus of Calydon, Dicaearchus of Trichonium, Polemarchus of Arsinoe, Lamius of Ambracia, Nicomachus the Acarnanian (one of those who had fled from Thurium and was living in Ambracia), Theodotus of Pherae, an exile from Thessaly, who lived in Stratus; on behalf of the Achaeans, Xenophon of Aegium; on behalf of King Attalus, Alexander alone; and on behalf of the Athenian people, Cephisodorus and his party.
