26. A few days before Heraclea was taken the Aetolians held a council at Hypata and sent ambassadors to Antiochus, among whom was again the same Thoas who had been sent there before. [2] Their instructions were that they should ask the king, first, that he should again collect all his forces on land and sea and cross to Greece; [3] secondly, if anything detained him, that he should send money and reinforcements; that his allies be not deserted concerned not only his dignity and loyalty but the safety of his kingdom; that he should not permit the Romans, free from all worry after they had destroyed the Aetolian people, to cross with all their forces to Asia. [4] What they said was true; and [p. 237]for that reason it impressed the king more.1 [5] Therefore for the moment he gave the ambassadors the money which was needed for the expenses of the war; he assured them that he would send military and naval assistance. [6] Thoas, one of the ambassadors, he kept with him; he remained there not at all against his will, that someone might be at hand to demand the fulfilment of the promises.
