Lentulus
10. P. Cornelius Lentulus, P. F. L. N., son of No. 7, praetor in Sicily B. C. 214, and continued in his province for the two following years. (Liv. 24.9, 10, 44, 25.3, 26.1.) In B. C. 189 he was one of ten ambassadors sent into Asia after the submission of Antiochus. (Id. 37.55.)
Leo or LEON
7. An Athenian of the Roman party, who, in B. C. 192, accused Apollodorus of fomenting a revolt from Rome to Antiochus, and caused him to be sent into exile. (Liv. 35.50.) We may perhaps identify him with Leon, son of Icesias, who, in B. C. 189, supported before the Roman senate the prayer of the Aetolians for peace. (Liv. 38.10; Plb. 22.14.) [DAMIS, No. 2.] [E.E]
Lycortas
(*Luko/rtas), of Megalopolis, was the father of Tolybius, the historian, and the close friend of Philopoemen, to whose policy, prudent at once and patriotic, we find him adhering throughout. In B. C. 189, he was sent as ambassador to Rome, with his rival Diophanes, to receive the senate's decision on the question of the war which 1000 the Achaean League had declared against Lacedaemon; and, while Diophanes expressed his willingness to leave every thing to the senate, Lycortas urged the right of the league to free and independent action. (Liv. 38.30-34.) In B. C. 186, he was one of the three ambassadors sent to Ptolemy V. (Epiphanes), to effect a new alliance between Egypt and the Achaeans; but, at an assembly held at Megalopolis in the next year, when Aristaenus was strategus, neither Lycortas and his colleagues nor the Egyptian envoys, who had accompanied them from Ptolemy's court, could specify which of the several treaties made in former times with Egypt had now been ren

Moa'getes
tyrant of the Cibyrates, in Upper Phrygia, had made himself conspicuous by his enmity to IRome during the war with Antiochus the Great. In B. C. 189, the consul Cn. Manlius Vulso, condemned Moagetes to pay a fine of 100 talents and to furnish 10,000 medimni of wheat for the use of the legions. (Plb. 22.17; Liv. 38.14.) [W.B.D]
Morzes
or, according to Polybius, MO'RZIAS (*Morzi/as), a king of Paphlagonia, who fought against the Romans in the Gallo-Graecian war, B. C. 189. Morzes had been conquered by Pharnaces, king of Pontus, and was indemnified in the treaty of peace imposed on the latter prince by Eumenes II. king of Pergamus, in B. C. 189-188. (Plb. 26.6.9; Liv. 38.26; Strab. xii. p.562.) [W.B.D]Morzes

Nero
4. APP. CLAUDIUS NERO was praetor B. C. 195 (Liv. 33.43), with Hispania Ulterior as his province. Nothing is recorded of his operations in Spain, and it is doubtful if he went there, for the fear of a Spanish war soon subsided. In B. C. 189, he was one of ten commissioners (legali) who were sent into Asia to settle affairs. (Liv. 37.55.)
Ortiagon
(*)Ortia/gwn), one of the three princes of Galatia, when that country was invaded by the Romans under Cn. Manlius Vulso, in B. C. 189. he was defeated on Mount Olympus by the invaders, and compelled to fly home for refuge. Polybius tells us that he cherished the design of uniting all Galatia under his rule, and that he was well qualified to succeed in the attempt, being liberal, magnanimous, possessed of sagacity and winning manners; and above all, brave and skilful in war.
