men as hostages, and placed them all in
Saguntum, because of the strength of that town and his confidence in the fidelity of those who were left in charge

made continual predatory expeditions, often as far as to the
plain of Amyrus. Philip did not regard the matter as at all
of small importance, but was exceedingly bent on taking the
town. Having therefore got together a hundr
