§34.35.1inde Quinctius adhibitis legatis tantum tribunisque militum condiciones, §34.35.2in quas pax cum tyranno fieret, has conscripsit: sex mensium indutiae ut essent Nabidi Romanisque et Eumeni regi et Rhodiis;
Thereupon Quinctius, having summoned only the legates and the military tribunes, wrote down the conditions on which peace should be made with the tyrant, as follows: that there should be a truce of six months for Nabis, the Romans, King Eumenes, and the Rhodians; that T.
legatos extemplo mitterent Romam T. Quinctius et Nabis, ut pax auctoritate senatus confirmaretur; §34.35.3et qua die scriptae condiciones pacis editae Nabidi forent, ea dies ut indutiarum principium esset, et ut ex ea die intra decimum diem ab Argis ceterisque oppidis, quae in Argivorum agro essent, praesidia omnia deducerentur vacuaque et libera traderentur Romanis, §34.35.4et ne quod inde mancipium regium publicumve aut privatum educeretur, si qua ante educta forent, dominis recte restituerentur; §34.35.5naves, quas civitatibus maritimis ademisset, redderet neve ipse navem ullam praeter duos lembos, qui non plus quam sedecim remis agerentur, haberet; §34.35.6perfugas et captivos omnibus sociis populi Romani civitatibus redderet et Messeniis omnia, quae comparerent quaeque domini cognossent; §34.35.7exulibus quoque Lacedaemoniis liberos et coniuges restitueret, quae earum viros sequi voluissent, invita ne qua exulis comes esset; §34.35.8mercennariorum militum Nabidis, qui aut in civitates suas aut ad Romanos transissent, iis res suae omnes recte redderentur; §34.35.9in Creta insula ne quam urbem haberet; quas habuisset, redderet Romanis; ne quam societatem cum ullo Cretensium aut quoquam alio institueret neu bellum gereret; §34.35.10civitatibus omnibus, quasque ipse restituisset quaeque se suaque in fidem ac dicionem populi Romani tradidissent, omnia praesidia deduceret seque ipse suosque ab iis abstineret; §34.35.11ne quod oppidum neu quod castellum in suo alienove agro conderet; obsides, ea ita futura, daret quinque, quos imperatori Romano placuisset, et filium in iis suum, et talenta centum argenti in praesenti et quinquaginta talenta in singulos annos per annos octo.
Quinctius and Nabis should immediately send envoys to Rome, so that the peace might be confirmed by the authority of the senate; and that the day on which the written conditions of peace were delivered to Nabis should be the beginning of the truce, and that from that day within ten days all garrisons should be withdrawn from Argos and the other towns that were in the territory of the Argives, and they should be handed over empty and free to the Romans; and that no slave, whether royal, public, or private, should be carried away from there, and if any had been carried away before, they should be duly restored to their owners; that he should restore the ships which he had taken from the maritime states, and that he himself should not have any ship except two vessels that were propelled by not more than sixteen oars; that he should restore the deserters and captives to all the states allied with the Roman people, and to the Messenians everything that was visible and which their owners should recognize; that he should also restore to the Lacedaemonian exiles their children and wives, such of them as wished to follow their husbands, and that no woman should be the companion of an exile against her will; that to those of Nabis' mercenary soldiers who had gone either to their own states or to the Romans, all their property should be duly restored; that he should not hold any city in the island of Crete; those which he had held, he should restore to the Romans; that he should not form any alliance with any of the Cretans or anyone else, nor wage war; that from all the states, both those which he himself had restored and those which had surrendered themselves and their property to the protection and dominion of the Roman people, he should withdraw all garrisons and keep himself and his men from them; that he should not build any town or fort in his own or another's territory; that he should give five hostages, whomsoever the Roman commander pleased, as security that these things would be so, and among them his own son, and pay one hundred talents of silver immediately and fifty talents each year for eight years.
