6. in Boeotiam ipse profectus est, causas in speciem irae adversus Romanos eas quas ante dixi habentem, Brachyllae necem et bellum a Quinctio Coroneae propter Romanorum militum caedes illatum, re vera [2?] per multa iam saecula publice privatimque labante egregia quondam disciplina gentis et multorum eo statu, qui diuturnus esse sine mutatione rerum non posset. [3] obviam effusis undique Boeotiae principibus Thebas venit. ibi in concilio gentis, quamquam et ad Delium impetu in praesidium [p. 172] Romanum facto et ad Chalcidem commiserat nec1 parvis nec dubiis principiis bellum, tamen eandem orationem est exorsus,2 [4?] qua in colloquio primo ad Chalcidem quaque per legatos in concilio Achaeorum usus erat, ut amicitiam secum institui,3 non bellum indici Romanis postularet. neminem quid ageretur fallebat; [5] decretum tamen sub leni verborum praetextu4 pro rege adversus Romanos factum est.

[6] hac quoque gente adiuncta Chalcidem regressus, praemissis inde litteris, ut Demetriadem convenirent principes Aetolorum, cum quibus de summa rerum deliberaret, navibus eo ad diem indictum concilio venit. [7] et Amynander, accitus ad consultandum ex Athamania, et Hannibal Poenus, iam diu non adhibitus, interfuit ei consilio. [8] consultatum de Thessalorum gente est, quorum omnibus qui aderant voluntas temptanda videbatur. [9] in eo modo diversae sententiae erant, quod alii extemplo agendum, alii ex hieme, quae tum ferme media erat, differendum in veris principium, et alii legatos tantummodo mittendos, [10?] alii5 cum omnibus copiis eundum censebant terrendosque metu, si cunctarentur.
