§5.16.1γεῖν.
to prison.
τῇ δʼ ἐπαύριον ἀνακαλεσάμενος τὸν Ἄρατον παρεκάλει θαρρεῖν, ὅτι ποιήσεται τὴν ἐνδεχομένην ἐπιστροφὴν τοῦ πράγματος.
On the following day, having summoned Aratus, he encouraged him to be of good cheer, because he would make the necessary inquiry into the matter.
§5.16.2ὁ δὲ Λεόντιος, συνεὶς τὰ περὶ τὸν Μεγαλέαν, ἧκε πρὸς τὴν σκηνὴν μετά τινων πελταστῶν, πεπεισμένος καταπλήξεσθαι διὰ τὴν ἡλικίαν καὶ ταχέως εἰς μετάνοιαν ἄξειν τὸν βασιλέα.
Leontius, on his part, understanding what had happened to Megaleas, came to the tent with some peltasts, confident that he would intimidate the king because of his youth and quickly bring him to repentance.
§5.16.3συντυχὼν δʼ αὐτῷ, προσεπυνθάνετο τίς ἐτόλμησεν ἐπιβαλεῖν τὰς χεῖρας Μεγαλέᾳ καὶ τίς εἰς τὴν φυλακὴν ἀπαγαγεῖν.
Meeting him, he inquired who had dared to lay hands on Megaleas, and who had led him away to prison.
§5.16.4τοῦ δὲ βασιλέως ὑποστατικῶς αὐτοῦ φήσαντος συντεταχέναι, καταπλαγεὶς ὁ Λεόντιος καί τι προσανοιμώξας, ἀπῄει τεθυμωμένος.
And when the king replied firmly that he himself had given the order, Leontius, struck with amazement, uttered a slight groan and went away in a rage.
ὁ δὲ βασιλεύς, §5.16.5ἀναχθεὶς παντὶ τῷ στόλῳ καὶ διάρας τὸν κόλπον, ὡς θᾶττον εἰς τὴν Λευκάδα καθωρμίσθη, τοῖς μὲν ἐπὶ τῆς τῶν λαφύρων οἰκονομίας τεταγμένοις περὶ ταῦτα συνέταξε γινομένοις μὴ καθυστερεῖν, αὐτὸς δὲ συναγαγὼν τοὺς φίλους ἀπέδωκε κρίσιν τοῖς περὶ τὸν Μεγαλέαν.
The king, putting to sea with his whole fleet and crossing the gulf, as soon as he had anchored at Leucas, instructed those appointed to manage the spoils to lose no time in attending to this business; and he himself, having assembled his friends, brought Megaleas and his party to trial.
§5.16.6τοῦ δʼ Ἀράτου κατηγορήσαντος ἀνέκαθεν τὰ πεπραγμένα τοῖς περὶ τὸν Λεόντιον, καὶ διελθόντος τὴν γενομένην ὑπʼ αὐτῶν ἐν Ἄργει σφαγήν, ἣν ἐποιήσαντο μετὰ τὸν Ἀντιγόνου χωρισμόν, καὶ τὰς πρὸς Ἀπελλῆν συνθήκας, ἔτι δὲ τὸν περὶ τοὺς Παλαιεῖς ἐμποδισμόν, §5.16.7καὶ πάντα ταῦτα μετʼ ἀποδείξεως ἐνδεικνυμένου καὶ μαρτύρων, οὐ δυνάμενοι πρὸς οὐδὲν ἀντιλέγειν οἱ περὶ τὸν Μεγαλέαν κατεκρίθησαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν ὑπὸ τῶν φίλων.
Aratus, then, having accused Leontius and his party of all their conduct from the very beginning, and having detailed the massacre committed by them in Argos after the departure of Antigonus, and their treaty with Apelles, and furthermore their obstruction at Pale, and proving all these charges with evidence and witnesses, Megaleas and his party, being unable to say anything against them, were unanimously condemned by the friends.
§5.16.8καὶ Κρίνων μὲν ἔμεινεν ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ, τὸν δὲ Μεγαλέαν Λεόντιος ἀνεδέξατο τῶν χρημάτων.
Crinon indeed remained in prison, but Leontius became bail for Megaleas's fine.
§5.16.9ἡ μὲν οὖν Ἀπελλοῦ καὶ τῶν περὶ τὸν Λεόντιον πρᾶξις ἐν τούτοις ἦν, παλίντροπον λαμβάνουσα τὴν προκοπὴν ταῖς ἐξ ἀρχῆς αὐτῶν ἐλπίσιν.
Thus stood the affairs of Apelles and Leontius's party, taking a course of development contrary to their original expectations.
§5.16.10ἔδοξαν μὲν γὰρ καταπληξάμενοι τὸν Ἄρατον καὶ μονώσαντες τὸν Φίλιππον ποιήσειν ὅ τι ἂν αὐτοῖς δοκῇ συμφέρειν, ἀπέβη δὲ τούτων τἀναντία.
For they had thought that by intimidating Aratus and isolating Philip they would do whatever they pleased, but the result was the very opposite.
