6. multis tamen locis decussus murus erat, cum adlatum est successorem Apolloniae exposito exercitu per Epirum ac Thessaliam venire. [2] cum tredecim milibus peditum et quingentis equitibus consul veniebat. iam in sinum Maliacum venerat; et praemissis Hypatam, qui tradere urbem, iuberent, postquam nihil responsum est nisi ex communi Aetolorum decreto facturos, ne teneret se oppugnatio Hypatae nondum Amphissa recepta, praemisso fratre Africano Amphissam ducit. [3] sub adventum eorum oppidani relicta urbe — iam enim magna ex parte moenibus nudata erat — in arcem, quam inexpugnabilem habent, omnes armati atque inermes concessere.

[4] [p. 168]consul sex milia fere passuum inde posuit castra. eo legati 1Athenienses primum ad P. Scipionem praegressum agmen, sicut ante dictum est, deinde ad consulem venerunt, deprecantes pro Aetolis.
