the populace at Messene had been afraid of
their magistrates; but now at length, relying on
the protection of the enemy, some of them

to almost any terms; and on his sending an
embassy, Eumenes and Ariarathes immediately
accepted his proposals, and sent ambassadors

their shields, javelins, and other equipment.
