He was himself one of the first three persons who held the new office (Liv. 33.42). In B.

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Mnasi'lochus (search)
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

ed Further Spain as his province, with the title of proconsul. He remained in this country two years, and fought with great success against the nations that still resisted the Roman supremacy. He gained a victory over the united forces of the Vaccaei, Tectones, and Celtiberi, near the town of Toletum (Toledo), and took their king, Hilermus, prisoner. He then obtained possession of the town of Toletum, which is the first time that this place is mentioned in history. On his return to Rome in B. C. 191 he was granted the honour of an ovation. (Liv. 33.42, 34.54, 55, 35.7, 22, 36.21, 39.) In B. C. 189 he was consul with M. Fulvius Nobilior, and received the conduct of the war against the Aetolians. He captured the strong town of Ambracia, and then compelled the Aetolians to sue for peace, which was granted them on favourable terms. Shortly afterwards he obliged the island of Cephallenia, which had been excluded from the terms of the peace, to submit to the dominion of Rome. He remained in

On this occasion he is termed by Livy "Aetoliae princess" (Liv.42.15.)
