Philip V. Wages War with Attalus, King of Pergamum, and the Rhodians.

that he had as good as made an end of Attalus,
gave the rein to every kind of outrage; and
by way of gratifying his almost insane fury he
vented his wrath even more against the gods than against
man. For his skirmishing attacks being easily repelled by the
garrison of Pergamum, owing to the strength of the place, and
being prevented by the precautions taken by Attalus from
getting booty from the country, he directed his anger against
the seats of the gods and the sacred enclosures; in which, as
it appears to me, he did not wrong Attalus so much as himself.
He threw down the temples and the altars, and even had their
stones broken to pieces that none of the buildings he had
destroyed might be rebuilt. After spoiling the Nicephorium,
cutting down its grove, and demolishing its rin

the enemy were blockading him with an increasing number of decked vessels, he felt
uncertain and uneasy as to the result. But
as the state of affairs left him no choice, he suddenly put to
sea quite unexpectedly to the enemy; for Attalus expected that
he would persist in pushing on the mines he had commenced.
But Philip was especially keen to make his putting to sea a
surprise, because he thought that he would thus be able to outstrip the enemy, and complete the rest of his passage along
the coast to Samos in security. Attalus and Theophiliscus follow him. But he was much
disappointed in his calculations; for Attalus and
Theophiliscus (of Rhodes), directly they saw him
putting to sea, lost no time in taking action. And although,

triemioliae, twenty-five galleys and their crews.
In the battle with the Rhodians ten decked vessels and
about forty galleys. While two quadriremes and seven
galleys with their crews were captured. In the fleet of Attalus
one triemiolia and two quinqueremes were sunk, while two
quadriremes besides that of the king were captured. Of the
Rhodian fleet two quinqueremes and a trireme were destroyed,
but no ship was taken. Of men the Rhodians lost sixty,
Attalus seventy; while Philip lost three thousand Macedonians and six thousand rowers. And of the Macedonians
and their allies two thousand were taken prisoners, and of
their opponents six hundred.

The stratagem by which Philip took Prinassus.
owing to the strength of the place, Philip went
away again, plundering the forts and villages in
the country. Thence he marched to Prinassus
and pitched his camp under its wall. Having promptly got ready
his pent-houses and other siege artillery, he began to attempt the
town by mines. This plan proving impracticable, owing to
the rocky nature of the soil, he contrived the following stratagem. During the day he caused a noise to be made under
ground, as though the mines were being worked at; while
during the night he caused earth to be brought and piled up
at the mouth of the mine, in order that the men in the city,
by calculating the quantity of earth thrown up, might become
alarmed. At first the Prinassians held out bravely: but when
Philip sent them a message informing them that he had underpinned two plethra of their walls, and asking them whether

How also, by opening his kingdom as a kind of inviolable
sanctuary for all who fled from their own countries, he collected a number of bad characters in Sparta. B. C. 202-201. I will now
proceed to tell how in the same period, being in alliance with
Aetolians, Eleans, and Messenians, and being bound by oaths
and treaties to support one and all of those
peoples in case of any one attacking them, he
yet in utter contempt of these obligations determined to make
a treacherous attack on Messene.

events I have narrated. The expectation of the
people concerning him was proportionable to
the magnitude of his achievements: and the
splendour of his reception, and the signs of
popular favour which greeted him were extraordinary. Nor
was this otherwise than reasonable and proper. For after
despairing of ever driving Hannibal from Italy, or of averting
that danger from themselves and their kinsfolk, they now
looked on themselves as not only securely removed from every
fear and every menace of attack, but as having conquered their
enemies. Their joy therefore knew no bounds; and when
Scipio came into the city in triumph, and the actual sight of
the prisoners who formed the procession brought still more
clearly to their memories the dangers of the past, they became
almost wild in the expression of their thanks to the gods, and
