The Second League
The period I mean is the 124th Olympiad. In this
124th Olympiad, B. C. 284-280.
occurred the first league of Patrae and Dyme,
and the deaths of Ptolemy son of Lagus,
Lysimachus, Seleucus, Ptolemy Ceraunus. In
the period before this the state of Achaia was as follows. It
was ruled by kings from the time of Tisam of them still surviving, with the
exception of Olenus, and Helice which was engulfed by the
sea before the battle of Leuctra. B. C. 371. The other
ten were Patrae, Dyme, Pharae, Tritaea, Leontium, Aegium, Aegeira, Pellene, Bura, Caryneia.B. C. 323-284. In the
period immediately succeeding Alexander, and
before the above-named 124t he Achaean
cities, and they began again to form a league.
This was just at the time of Pyrrhus's invasion of Italy. The first to take this step were the peoples
of Dyme, Patrae, Tritaea, and Pharae. And as they thus
formed the nucleus of the league, we find no column extant recording the compact between these cities. But about

Euripidas
About the same time Euripidas, who had been sent
out to act as general to the Eleans, after
overrunning the districts of Dyme, Pharae,
and Tritaea, and collecting a considerable amount of
booty, was marching back to Elis. But Miccus of Dyme,
who happened at the time to be Sub-strategus of the
Achaean league, went out to the rescue with a body of
Dymaeans, Pharaeans, and Tritaeans, and attacked him as he
was returning. But proceeding too precipitately, he fell into

was returning. But proceeding too precipitately, he fell into
an ambush and lost a large number of his men: for forty of
his infantry were killed and about two hundred taken prisoners.
Elated by this success, Euripidas a few days afterwards made
another expedition, and seized a fort belonging to the Dymaeans
on the river Araxus, standing in an excellent situation, and
called the Wall, which the myths affirm to have been anciently
built by Hercules, when at war with the Eleans, as a base of
operations against them.
Philip Advances Southward
The peoples of Dyme, Pharae, and Tritaea having
been worsted in their attempt to relieve the country, and
afraid of what would happen from this capture of the fort,
first sent messengers to the Strategus, Aratus, to
inform him of what had happened and to ask for
aid, and afterwards a formal embassy with anias, 5, 7, 1; 8, 27, 4; 8, 28, 1; it
was on the river Bouphagus, and in the time of Pausanias was a mere village. in the territory of
Telphusa. But the people of Dyme, Pharae, and Tritaea,
despairing of assistance from the Strategus, came to a mutual
agreement to cease paying the common contribution to the
Achaean league, and to is distress he has to give up that hope, he
is forced to help himself the best way he can. Wherefore we
must not find fault with the people of Tritaea, Pharae, and
Dyme for having mercenaries on their own account, when the
chief magistrate of the league hesitated to act: but some blame
does attach to them for renouncing the joint

Dyme, and arrived with his army before the
fortress called the Wall, which is situated on
the frontier of the territory of Dyme, and had
a short time before, as I mentioned above,See ch. 59. been
occupied by EDyme, and had
a short time before, as I mentioned above,See ch. 59. been
occupied by Euripidas. The king, being anxious at all hazards
to recover this place for the Dymaeans, encamped under its
walls with his full force: and thereupon the Elean garrison in
alarm surrendered the place to Philip, which, though not large,
had been fortified with extraordinary care. For though the
circumference of its walls was not mor the
circumference of its walls was not more than a stade and a
half, its height was nowhere less than thirty cubits. Having
handed the place over to the Dymaeans, Philip continued
his advance, plundering the territory of Elis: and when he had
thoroughly devastated it, and acquired a large booty, he
returned with his army to Dyme.
