§36.29.1postquam vero coacta omnis multitudo eadem illa audivit, adeo saevitia imperii atque indignitate animi exasperati sunt, ut, si in pace fuissent, illo impetu irae concitari potuerint ad bellum.
But after the assembled multitude heard those same things, they were so exasperated by the severity of the command and the indignity, that if they had been at peace, they could have been incited to war by that impulse of anger.
§36.29.2ad iram accedebat et difficultas eorum, quae imperarentur — quonam modo enim utique regem Amynandrum se tradere posse?
To their anger was added also the difficulty of what was commanded—for how on earth could they deliver up King Amynander?
§36.29.3— et spes forte oblata, quod Nicander eo ipso tempore ab rege Antiocho veniens implevit expectatione vana multitudinem, terra marique ingens parari bellum.
—and a hope chance-presented, because Nicander, returning at that very time from King Antiochus, had filled the multitude with the empty expectation that a huge war was being prepared on land and sea.
§36.29.4duodecumo is die, quam conscenderat navem, in Aetoliam perfecta legatione rediens Phalara in sinu Maliaco tenuit.
On the twelfth day after he had boarded his ship, returning to Aetolia having completed his embassy, he held Phalara in the Maliac gulf.
§36.29.5inde Lamiam pecuniam cum devexisset, ipse cum expeditis prima vespera inter Macedonum Romanaque castra medio agro, dum Hypatam notis callibus petit, in stationem incidit Macedonum deductusque ad regem est nondum convivio dimisso.
Having brought the money from there to Lamia, he himself, with light-armed men at early evening in the middle territory between the Macedonian and Roman camps, while seeking Hypata by well-known paths, fell into a Macedonian outpost and was led to the king, since the banquet was not yet dismissed.
§36.29.6quod ubi nuntiatum est, velut hospitis, non hostis adventu motus Philippus accumbere eum epularique iussit, §36.29.7atque inde dimissis aliis, solum retentum, ipsum quidem de se timere quicquam vetuit, §36.29.8Aetolorum prava consilia atque in ipsorum caput semper recidentia accusavit, qui primum Romanos, deinde Antiochum in Graeciam adduxissent.
When this was announced, Philip, moved as if by the arrival of a guest, not an enemy, ordered him to recline and feast, and then, having dismissed the others, keeping him alone, forbade him to fear anything for himself, and accused the foolish counsels of the Aetolians, which always fell back upon their own heads, who had first brought the Romans, and then Antiochus into Greece.
§36.29.9sed praeteritorum, quae magis reprehendi quam corrigi possint, oblitum se non facturum, ut insultet adversis rebus eorum; §36.29.10Aetolos quoque finire tandem adversus se odia debere, et Nicandrum privatim eius diei, quo servatus a se foret, meminisse.
But he said that he, having forgotten the past, which could be blamed rather than corrected, would not insult their adversity; the Aetolians also ought at last to end their hatred against him, and Nicander privately should remember that day on which he had been saved by him.
§36.29.11ita datis, qui in tutum eum prosequerentur, Hypatam Nicander consultantibus de pace Romana supervenit.
Thus, having been given men to escort him to safety, Nicander arrived at Hypata, while they were consulting about the Roman peace.
