Immediately the plan of sending Hannibal, which was the only good thing thought of at the beginning of the war, was laid aside.¹ [2] The king, especially rejoiced at the revolt of Demetrias from the Romans to the Aetolians, decided not to postpone longer his departure for Greece. [3] Before he set sail he went up from the coast to Ilium to offer sacrifice to Minerva. Thence he returned and departed with forty decked and sixty open vessels, while two hundred cargo-ships, with all kinds of supplies and equipment for war, followed. [4] He first steered for the island of Imbros; thence crossed to Sciathos; there he first collected the ships that had been scattered in the open sea and arrived at Pteleum, the first point on the mainland. [5] There Eurylochus the Magnetarch and the chiefs of the Magnetes from Demetrias met him, and rejoicing at their number on the next day he sailed into the harbour of the city with his fleet; his troops he landed not far away. [6] There were ten thousand infantry and five hundred cavalry and six elephants, a force scarcely sufficient to take possession of Greece if it were undefended, not to mention the necessity of resistance to the Romans.²

The king had already left Demetrias, knowing that they would vote thus, and had come to Phalara on the Malian gulf. [8] Thence, after receiving the decree, he came to Lamia and was welcomed with great enthusiasm [9??] on the part of the populace, with hand-clappings and shouts and the other demonstrations with which the unrestrained joy of a crowd is expressed.
