an embassy from the Thespians, and IsmeniasIsmenias had just been elected Strategus of Boeotia; but the party who
had supported a rival candidate had in revenge obtained a decree of the
league banishing the Boeotarchs from all the Boeotian cities. They had,
however been received at Thespiae, whence they were recalled to Thebes and
reinstated by a reaction in popular feeling. Then they obtained another decree
banishing the twelve men who, though not in office, had convened the league
assembly; and Ismenias as Strategus sentenced them to the loss of all rights
in their absence. These are the "exiles" here meant (Livy, 42, 43). Who
Neon was is not certain; but we find in the next chapter that he had been
a leader in the Macedonising party at Thebes, perhaps a son of Brachylles,
whose father's name was Neon (see 20, 5). He was captured

Romans lost two hundred cavalry killed and as many prisoners
and two thousand infantry, while Perseus only had twenty cavalry
and forty infantry killed. He did not, however, follow up the
victory sufficiently to inflict a crushing blow upon the Roman
army; and though the Consul withdrew to the south of the Peneus,
after some days' reflection the king made proposals of peace. See

The Athenians and Rhodians
The first object of the Athenian embassy was the

entirely destroyed. Its crime was siding with Perseus. Livy, 42, 63. Supra bk. 27, ch. 5;

with a refusal on that point, they changed
the subject of their appeal and put forward
their own claim to the possession of Delos,
Lemnos, and the territory of Haliartus. No
one could properly find fault with them for this,
as far as Delos and Lemnos were concerned, for
they had of old laid claim to them; but there
is good reason for reproaching them in respect to the territory
of Haliartus. Haliartus was nearly the most ancient city in
Boeotia; had met with a heavy misfortune: instead of endeavouring in
