§5.108.1ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς Φίλιππος, ἀνακομισθεὶς κατὰ θάλατταν ἀπὸ τῶν διαλύσεων εἰς Μακεδονίαν, καὶ καταλαβὼν τὸν Σκερδιλαΐδαν ἐπὶ τῇ προφάσει τῶν προσοφειλομένων χρημάτων, πρὸς ἃ καὶ τὰ περὶ τὴν Λευκάδα πλοῖα παρεσπόνδησε, καὶ τότε τῆς μὲν Πελαγονίας πόλισμα διηρπακότα τὸ προσαγορευόμενον Πισσαῖον, §5.108.2τῆς δὲ Δασσαρήτιδος προσηγμένον πόλεις, τὰς μὲν φόβῳ, τὰς δʼ ἐπαγγελίαις, Ἀντιπάτρειαν, Χρυσονδύωνα, Γερτοῦντα, πολλὴν δὲ καὶ τῆς συνορούσης τούτοις Μακεδονίας ἐπιδεδραμηκότα, §5.108.3παραυτίκα μὲν ὥρμησε μετὰ τῆς δυνάμεως, ὡς ἀνακτήσασθαι σπουδάζων τὰς ἀφεστηκυίας πόλεις,
But King Philip, having returned by sea from the peace negotiations to Macedonia, and having found Scerdilaidas, on the pretext of the money still owed to him (for which reason he had also treacherously seized the ships around Leucas), having at that time plundered Pissaeum, a town of Pelagonia, and having brought over the cities of Dassaretis, namely Antipatreia, Chrysondyon, and Gertus, some by fear and others by promises, and having also overrun a great part of Macedonia which bordered on these, immediately set out with his forces, being eager to recover the revolted cities.
§5.108.4καθόλου δʼ ἔκρινε πολεμεῖν πρὸς τὸν Σκερδιλαΐδαν, νομίζων ἀναγκαιότατον εἶναι παρευτρεπίσασθαι τὰ κατὰ τὴν Ἰλλυρίδα πρός τε τὰς ἄλλας ἐπιβολὰς καὶ μάλιστα πρὸς τὴν εἰς Ἰταλίαν διάβασιν.
And on the whole, he decided to make war against Scerdilaidas, thinking it most necessary to settle the affairs of Illyria beforehand, both for his other enterprises and especially for his crossing into Italy.
§5.108.5ὁ γὰρ Δημήτριος οὕτως ἐξέκαιε τὴν ἐλπίδα καὶ τὴν ἐπιβολὴν τῷ βασιλεῖ ταύτην συνεχῶς, ὥστε κατὰ τοὺς ὕπνους τὸν Φίλιππον ταῦτʼ ὀνειρώττειν καὶ περὶ ταύτας εἶναι τὰς πράξεις.
For Demetrius fanned this hope and enterprise in the king so constantly that Philip even dreamed of these things in his sleep and was occupied with these activities.
§5.108.6ἐποίει δὲ ταῦτα Δημήτριος οὐ Φιλίππου χάριν — τούτῳ μὲν γὰρ τρίτην ἴσως ἐν τούτοις ἔνεμε μερίδα — μᾶλλον δὲ τῆς πρὸς Ῥωμαίους δυσμενείας, τὸ δὲ πλεῖστον ἕνεκεν αὑτοῦ καὶ τῶν ἰδίων ἐλπίδων· §5.108.7μόνως γὰρ οὕτως ἐπέπειστο τὴν ἐν τῷ Φάρῳ δυναστείαν κατακτήσασθαι πάλιν.
And Demetrius did this not for Philip's sake—for to him he assigned perhaps only a third share in these plans—but rather because of his hostility towards the Romans, and most of all for his own sake and his own hopes; for he was convinced that only in this way could he recover his rule in Pharos again.
§5.108.8πλὴν ὅ γε Φίλιππος στρατεύσας ἀνεκτήσατο μὲν τὰς προειρημένας πόλεις, κατελάβετο δὲ τῆς μὲν Δασσαρήτιδος Κρεώνιον καὶ Γεροῦντα, τῶν δὲ περὶ τὴν Λυχνιδίαν λίμνην Ἐγχελᾶνας, Κέρακα, Σατίωνα, Βοιούς, τῆς δὲ Καλοικίνων χώρας Βαντίαν, ἔτι δὲ τῶν καλουμένων Πισαντίνων Ὀργησσόν.
However, Philip, having marched out, recovered the aforementioned cities, and captured Creonion and Gerus in Dassaretis, and Enchelanae, Cerax, Sation, and Boei around Lake Lychnidus, and Bantia in the territory of the Caloecini, and also Orgyssus of the so-called Pisantini.
§5.108.9ἐπιτελεσάμενος δὲ ταῦτα διαφῆκε τὰς δυνάμεις εἰς παραχειμασίαν.
Having accomplished these things, he dismissed his forces to winter quarters.
ἦν δʼ ὁ χειμὼν οὗτος, καθʼ ὃν Ἀννίβας, πεπορθηκὼς τοὺς ἐπιφανεστάτους τόπους τῆς Ἰταλίας ἔμελλε περὶ τὸ Γερούνιον τῆς Δαυνίας ποιεῖσθαι τὴν παραχειμασίαν.
This was the winter in which Hannibal, having ravaged the most celebrated parts of Italy, was about to make his winter quarters around Gerunium in Daunia.
§5.108.10Ῥωμαῖοι δὲ τότε κατέστησαν στρατηγοὺς αὑτῶν Γάιον Τερέντιον καὶ Λεύκιον Αἰμίλιον.
And the Romans at that time appointed Gaius Terentius and Lucius Aemilius as their consuls.
