§33.49.1et Romani legati cum in senatu exposuissent compertum patribus Romanis esse, et Philippum regem ante ab Hannibale maxime accensum bellum populo Romano fecisse, §33.49.2et nunc litteras nuntiosque ab eo ad Antiochum et Aetolos missos, consiliaque inita inpellendae ad defectionem Carthaginis, nec alio eum quam ad Antiochum regem profectum; haud quieturum eum, antequam bellum toto orbe terrarum concisset; §33.49.3id ei non debere impune esse, si satisfacere Carthaginienses populo Romano vellent nihil eorum sua voluntate nec publico consilio factum esse: §33.49.4Carthaginienses responderunt, quidquid aecum censuissent Romani, facturos esse.
And when the Roman ambassadors had explained in the senate that it was known to the Roman senators, both that King Philip, previously incited chiefly by Hannibal, had made war on the Roman people, and that now letters and messengers had been sent by him to Antiochus and the Aetolians, and plans had been entered into for driving Carthage to rebellion, and that he had departed to no other place than to King Antiochus; and that he would not rest before he had stirred up war throughout the whole world; and that this ought not to go unpunished for him, if the Carthaginians wished to satisfy the Roman people that none of these things had been done by their own will or by public counsel: The Carthaginians replied that they would do whatever the Romans should deem just.
§33.49.5Hannibal prospero cursu Tyrum pervenit exceptusque a conditoribus Carthaginis, ut ab altera patria, vir tam clarus omni genere honorum, paucos moratus dies Antiochiam navigat.
Hannibal reached Tyre after a prosperous voyage, and being received by the founders of Carthage as if by a second fatherland, a man so distinguished with every kind of honor, after staying a few days, he sailed to Antioch.
§33.49.6ibi profectum iam regem in Asiam cum audisset filiumque eius sollemne ludorum ad Daphnen celebrantem convenisset, comiter ab eo exceptus nullam moram navigandi fecit.
Having heard there that the king had already set out for Asia, and having met his son, who was celebrating a solemn festival of games at Daphne, he was courteously received by him and made no delay in sailing.
§33.49.7Ephesi regem est consecutus, fluctuantem adhuc animo incertumque de Romano bello; §33.49.8sed haud parvum momentum ad animum eius moliendum adventus Hannibalis fecit.
At Ephesus he overtook the king, who was still wavering in mind and uncertain about the Roman war; but the arrival of Hannibal had no small influence in moving his mind.
Aetolorum quoque eodem tempore alienati ab societate Romana animi sunt, quorum legatos Pharsalum et Leucadem et quasdam alias civitates ex primo foedere repetentis senatus ad T. Quinctium reiecit.
At the same time, the minds of the Aetolians also became alienated from the Roman alliance, whose ambassadors, demanding back Pharsalus and Leucas and certain other states according to the first treaty, the senate referred back to Titus Quinctius.
