§37.55.1post Rhodios Antiochi legati vocati sunt.
After the Rhodians, the envoys of Antiochus were called.
ii vulgato petentium veniam more errorem fassi regis obtestati sunt patres conscriptos, §37.55.2ut suae potius clementiae quam regis culpae, qui satis superque poenarum dedisset, memores consulerent; postremo pacem datam a L. Scipione imperatore, quibus legibus dedisset, confirmarent auctoritate sua. §37.55.3et senatus eam pacem servandam censuit, et paucos post dies populus iussit.
They, following the common custom of those seeking pardon, confessed the king's error and implored the conscript fathers, that, mindful of their own clemency rather than the king's fault, who had paid enough and more than enough punishment, they should make their decision; finally, that they should confirm by their own authority the peace granted by the commander L. Scipio, under whatever conditions he had granted it. And the senate voted that the peace should be observed, and a few days later the people ordered it.
foedus in Capitolio cum Antipatro principe legationis et eodem fratris filio regis Antiochi est ictum. §37.55.4auditae deinde et aliae legationes ex Asia sunt.
A treaty was struck on the Capitol with Antipater, the leader of the embassy and also the nephew of King Antiochus. Then other embassies from Asia were also heard.
quibus omnibus datum responsum decem legatos more maiorum senatum missurum ad res Asiae disceptandas componendasque; §37.55.5summam tamen hanc fore, ut cis Taurum montem, quae intra regni Antiochi fines fuissent, Eumeni attribuerentur praeter Lyciam Cariamque usque ad Maeandrum amnem; ea ut civitatis Rhodiorum essent; §37.55.6ceterae civitates Asiae, quae Attali stipendiariae fuissent, eaedem vectigal Eumeni penderent; quae vectigales Antiochi fuissent, eae liberae atque immunes essent.
To all of them, the answer was given that the senate, according to the custom of the ancestors, would send ten commissioners to examine and settle the affairs of Asia; yet the main point would be this, that on this side of Mount Taurus, what had been within the limits of the kingdom of Antiochus should be assigned to Eumenes, except for Lycia and Caria as far as the river Maeander; these should belong to the state of the Rhodians; the other cities of Asia, which had been tributary to Attalus, should likewise pay tribute to Eumenes; those which had been tributary to Antiochus should be free and exempt from tribute. They decreed these ten commissioners: Q.
