Sulla, however, turning swiftly back, showed Doryla[uuml ]s that Archela[uuml ]s was a man of prudence and best acquainted with the Roman valour, so that after a slight skirmish with Sulla near Tilphossium, he was first of those who thought it expedient not to decide the issue by a battle, but rather to wear out the war by dint of time and treasure.
