While they were there discussing how to end the Aetolian war —for the envoys had recently been present at the council of the Romans and Aetolians at HeraclēaCf. v. 13 f. —came the news that Machanidas had decided to attack the Eleans, who were making ready to celebrate the Olympic Games.I.e. those of the year 208 B.C.; cf. XXVII. xxxv. 3. Thinking he must make that his first task, the king sent away the envoys with a friendly answer: thatB.C. 207 he had not been the cause of this war, and would not delay making peace, provided it was possible to do so on fair and honourable terms. Setting out with a light column he came down through Boeotia to Megara and then to Corinth, from which he took on supplies and marched to Phlīus and Phenĕus.Phlīus lay south-west of Corinth; Phenĕus farther west,

The provinces were assigned by decree as follows: to one of the consuls Sicily and the thirty war-shipsA small fleet in comparison with the hundred ships assigned to Sicily in 208 B.C.; XXVII. xxii. 9. For an invasion a much larger navy would seem to be required. Add the 30 new ships presently to be built (§ 21). But actually only 40 war-ships escorted 400 transports in 204 B.C.; XXIX. xxvi. 3. which Gius Servilius had commanded in the previous year;Cf. x. 16. and permission to cross over to Africa was given, if he should consider that to be to the advantage of the state; to the other consul the land of the Bruttians and the war with Hannibal, together with the army which

Thinking that he would do what he could for the sake of the Roman people, they decided to send ambassadors to him. These were Marcus Valerius Laevinus, who had been twice consulCf. XXX. xxiii. 5. One list of the consuls gives Laevinus a first consulship in 220 B.C.; Chronogr. an. 354 in C.I.L. I. p. 524. He may have been a suffectus in 208 B.C.

In Livy a new man when elected in 211 B.C.; XXVI. xxii. 12. and had held a command in Greece, Marcus Caecilius Metellus, an ex-praetor, Servius Sulpicius Galba, an ex-aedile, and two former quaestors, Gnaeus Tremelius Flaccus and Marcus Valerius Falto. For them they voted five quinqueremes,See XXVIII. xxx. 11 and note. Whatever may have been the arrangement of the oars on a quinquereme, it is clear that these larger vessels
