§37.21.1postero die regiae magis compositae et ordinatae stationes quingentis passibus longius ab urbe posuerunt castra, et Achaei eodem ferme tempore atque in eundem locum processerunt.
On the following day, the king's outposts, more organized and orderly, pitched camp five hundred paces further from the city, and the Achaeans advanced almost at the same time and to the same place.
§37.21.2per multas horas intenti utrimque velut iam futurum impetum expectavere; postquam haud procul occasu solis redeundi in castra tempus erat, regii signis collatis abire agmine ad iter magis quam ad pugnam composito coepere.
For many hours, tense on both sides, they waited as if an attack were about to happen; when it was time to return to camp not far from sunset, the king's men, with signals brought together, began to depart in a column arranged more for marching than for fighting.
§37.21.3quievit Diophanes, dum in conspectu erant; deinde eodem, quo pridie, impetu in postremum agmen incurrit, tantumque rursus pavoris ac tumultus incussit, ut, cum terga caederentur, nemo pugnandi causa restiterit; trepidantesque et vix ordinem agminis servantes in castra compulsi sunt.
Diophanes remained quiet as long as they were in sight; then, with the same charge as the day before, he fell upon the rear guard and again struck so much terror and confusion that, although their backs were being cut down, no one stood to fight; and trembling and scarcely keeping the order of the column, they were driven into their camp.
§37.21.4haec Achaeorum audacia Seleucum ex agro Pergameno movere castra coegit.
This boldness of the Achaeans forced Seleucus to move his camp from the territory of Pergamum.
Antiochus postquam Romanos ad tuendum Adramytteum venisse audivit, ea quidem urbe abstinuit; §37.21.5depopulatus agros Peraeam inde, coloniam Mitylenaeorum, expugnavit.
Antiochus, after he heard that the Romans had come to protect Adramytteum, refrained from that city indeed; having plundered the territory, he then took Peraea by storm, a colony of the Mitylenaeans.
Cotton et Corylenus et Aphrodisias et Priene primo impetu captae sunt.
Cotton, Corylenus, Aphrodisias, and Priene were captured at the first assault.
inde per Thyatiram Sardis rediit.
From there he returned to Sardis by way of Thyatira.
§37.21.6Seleucus in ora maritima permanens aliis terrori erat, aliis praesidio.
Seleucus, remaining on the maritime coast, was a terror to some, a protection to others.
classis Romana cum Eumene Rhodiisque Mitylenen primo, §37.21.7inde retro, unde profecta erat, Elaeam redit.
The Roman fleet with Eumenes and the Rhodians went first to Mitylene, then back to Elaea, whence it had set out.
inde Phocaeam petentes ad insulam, quam Bacchium vocant — imminet urbi Phocaeensium —, appulerunt et, quibus ante abstinuerant templis signisque — egregie autem exornata insula erat —, cum hostiliter diripuissent, ad ipsam urbem transmiserunt.
From there, steering for Phocaea, they put in at the island which they call Bacchium—it overlooks the city of the Phocaeans—and having hostilely plundered the temples and statues from which they had previously abstained—for the island was remarkably adorned—they crossed over to the city itself.
§37.21.8eam divisis inter se partibus cum oppugnarent et videretur sine operibus, §37.21.9armis scalisque capi posse, missum ab Antiocho praesidium trium milium armatorum cum intrasset urbem, extemplo oppugnatione omissa classis ad insulam se recepit nihil aliud quam depopulato circa urbem hostium agro.
When they were attacking it, dividing the sectors among themselves, and it seemed that without siege works, it could be captured by arms and ladders, a garrison of three thousand armed men sent by Antiochus entered the city, whereupon the siege was immediately abandoned, and the fleet withdrew to the island, having done nothing other than plundered the enemy's territory around the city.
