War Declared With the Aetolians
When he arrived at Corinth he found the envoys from

envoys. The Boeotians accused them of

the phocians of having attacked and attempted to seize the
cities of Ambrysus and Daulium: the Epirotes of having committed depredations in their territory. The Acarnanians
showed how they had contrived a plot for the betrayal of
Thyrium into their hands, and had gone so far as to actually
assault it under cover of night. The Achaeans made a statement showing that they had seized Clarium in the territory of
Megalopolis; traversed the territories of Patrae and Pharae,
pillaging the country as they went; completel

Thessaly and Epirus, being bent on taking
that route in his invasion of Aetolia. And
at the same time Alexander and Dorimachus,
having succeeded in establishing an intrigue
for the betrayal of Aegira, had collected about
twelve hundred Aetolians into Oeanthe, which
is in Aetolia, exactly opposite the above-named
town; and, having prepared vessels to convey
them across the gulf, were waiting for favourable weather for
making the voyage in fulfilment of their design. For a
deserter from Aetolia, who had spent a long time at Aegira,
and had had full opportunity of observing that the guards of
the gate towards Aegium were in the habit of getting drunk, and
keeping their watch with great slackness, had again and again
crossed over to Dorimachus; and, laying this fact before him,
had invited him to ma
Philip Arrives in Epirus
Such was the state of things in the Peloponnese when
Philip V. at Ambracia, B. C. 219.
King Philip, after crossing Thessaly, arrived
in Epirus. Reinforcing his Macedonians by
a full levy of Epirotes, and being joined by
three hundred slingers from Achaia, and the five hundred
Cretans sent him by the Polyrrhenians, he continued his
march through Epirus and arrived in the territory of the
Ambracians. Now, if he had continued his march without
interruption, and thrown himself into the interior of Aetolia, by
the sudden and unlooked-for attack of so formidable an
army he would have put an end to the whole campaign: but
as it was, he was over-persuaded by the Epirotes to take
Ambracus first; and so gave the Aetolians an interval in which
to make a stand, to take precautionary measures, and to prepare
for the future. For the Epirotes, thinking more of their own
advantage than of that of the confederacy, and being very
anxious to get AmbracusStephanos describes Ambra

would thus draw off Philip from the siege of

urging Philip to prevent Dorimachus's invasion of Macedoni a; but to
sail back again, while the Etesian winds prevailed, was impossible. It was plain therefore that Philip would get shut up
in Messenia with his army, and remain inactive for what
remained of the summer; while the Aetolians would traverse
Thessaly and Epirus and plunder them at their pleasure.
Such was the insidious nature of the advice given by Gorgus
and Leontius. But Aratus, who was present, advocated an
exactly opposite policy, urging the king to sail to Aetolia and
devote himself to
