Gla'brio
a family name of the Acilia Gens at Rome. The Acilii Glabriones were plebeian (Liv. 35.10, 24, 36.57), and first appear on the consular Fasti in the year B. C. 191, from which time the name frequently occurs to a late period of the empire.
The last of the Glabriones who held the consulate was Anicius Acilius Glabrio Faustus, one of the supplementary consuls in A. D. 438.
Hierocles
3. A native of Agrigentum, who, after the defeat of Antiochus III. at Thermopylae (B. C. 191), surrendered the island of Zacynthus, with the command of which he had been entrusted by Amynander, to the Achaeans. (Liv. 36.32.)

Lucullus
7. C. Licinius Lucullus, tribune of the people B. C. 196, was the proposer of a law for the creation of the sacerdotal office of the Triumviri Epulones, who continued from that time forth to be regularly appointed.
He was himself one of the first three persons who held the new office (Liv. 33.42). In B. C. 191 he was one of two commissoners appointed to dedicate the temple of Juventas in the Circus Maximus, which had been vowed by M. Livius on occasion of the memorable defeat of Hasdrubal (Liv. 36.36.)
Ma'mmula
2. A. Cornelius Mammula, praetor B. C. 191, in which year the war with Antiochus broke out, received as his province the southern part of Italy (Bruttii). (Liv. 35.24, 36.2, 37.2, 4.)
Mnasi'lochus
(*Mnasi/loxos), was a chief of the Acarnanians, who, in B. C. 191, was bribed by Antiochus the Great, and, in return, persuaded or fraudulently compelled a diet of his countrymen to embrace the Syrian instead of the Roman alliance.
In all the preliminaries of peace between Rome and Antiochus, after the defeat of the latter at Magnesia in B. C. 190, one article was the surrender of Mnasilochus to the Romans. (Plb. 21.14.7, 22.26.11; Liv. 36.11, 12, 37.45, 38.38.) [W.B.
Nicander
3. An Aetolian, who, when his countrymen were endeavouring to organize a coalition against the Romans, was sent as ambassador to Philip V., king of Macedonia, B. C. 93, to urge him to join the league, but without effect. (Liv. 35.12.) Two years later, B. C. 191, he was sent, together with Thoas, to beg the assistance of Antiochus the Great, king of Syria.
By extraordinary diligence he accomplished his task, and returned from Ephesus to Phalara, on the Maliac Gulf, within twelve days.
After falling into the hands of Philip, by whom he was treated with unexpected kindness, he reached Hypata just at the moment when the Aetolians were deliberating about peace, and by bringing some money from Antiochus, and the promise of further aid, he succeeded in persuading them to refuse the terms proposed by the Romans. (Liv. 36.29; Plb. 20.10, 11.) In B. C. 190 he was appointed praetor (or *Ztrathyos) of the Aetolians (Clinton, Fasti Hell.), and endeavoured in vain to force the consul, MI
O'ppius
6. L. Oppius Salinator, plebeian aedile, B. C. 193, was sent inthe following year to convey a fleet of twenty ships to Sicily.
He was praetor in B. C. 191, and obtained Sardinia as his province. (Liv. 35.23, 24, 36.2).
Panta'leon
5. An Aetolian, probably a grandson of the preceding, is first mentioned as one of the ambassadors charged to bear to the Roman general, M. Acilius Glabrio, the unqualified submission of the Aetolians, B. C. 191. (Plb. 20.9.) Again, in B. C. 169 he appears as one of the deputies at Thermus before C. Popillius, when he uttered a violent harangue against Lyciscus and Thoas. (Id. 28.4.)
He is also mentioned as present with Eumenes at Delphi, when the life of that monarch was attempted by the emissaries of Perseus. On this occasion he is termed by Livy "Aetoliae princess" (Liv.42.15.)
