Coming to Philippopolis, the inhabitants flying for safety to
the heights, he took it without a blow.The plain of the Hebrus. And thence, after
traversing the plain, and sacking some of the
villages, and exacting a pledge of submission
from others, he returned home, leaving a garrison in Philippopolis, which was after a time expelled by the
