Attalus Goes to Rome
Having come to terms with each other, Pharnaces,

Attalus, and the rest returned home. While
this was going on, Eumenes had recovered
from his illness, and was staying at Pergamus;
and when his brother arrived to announce the
arrangements that had been made, he approved
of what had been done, and resolved to send
his brothers to Rome: partly because he hoped
to put an end to the war with Pharnaces by
means of their mission, and partly because he wished to introduce his brothers to his own private friends at Rome, and
officially to the Senate. Attalus and his brother were eager
for this tour; and when they arrived in Rome the young men
met with a cordial reception from everybody in private society,
owing to the intimacies which they had formed during the
Roman wars in Asia, and a still more honourable welcome

penteconters fully equipped; and the Achaeans,
thinking the present worthy of their thanks, for

resolution, they selected Lycortas, Polybius, and
Aratus, son of Aratus of Sicyon, to go on a
mission to the king, partly to thank him for the arms which
he had sent on a former occasion, and partly to
receive the ships and make arrangements for
bringing them across. Bk. 22, ch. 12. They appointed Lycortas, because, as
