39. The consul swore to observe this treaty; to secure the oath from the king, Quintus Minucius Thermus was sent and Lucius Manlius, who chanced at that time to return from Oroanda. [2] He wrote also to Quintus Fabius Labeo, who was in command of the fleet,1 to proceed at once to Patara and to destroy and burn the ships of the king that were there. Setting out from Ephesus, he either wrecked or burned fifty decked ships. [3] Telmessus, since the townspeople were alarmed at the unexpected appearance of the fleet, was recovered on the same expedition. From Lycia, ordering the ships which had been left at Ephesus to follow from there, Labeo crossed straight to Greece by way of the islands. [4] Delaying a. few days at Athens, until the ships from Ephesus should reach Piraeus, he conducted the entire fleet from there to Italy.

When Gnaeus Manlius, among the other things which were to be received from Antiochus, had received the elephants also and had presented them all to Eumenes as a gift, he next investigated the affairs of the cities, since many were in confusion in consequence of the changes. [5] And King Ariarathes, half of the money which had been demanded of him having been remitted through the good offices of Eumenes, to whom he had about this time betrothed his daughter, was received into friendship. The ten [p. 133]commissioners, having looked into the situation of the2 cities, made different dispositions in different cases. [6] Those which had been tributaries to King Antiochus but had sided with the Roman people were granted freedom from taxation; those which had been partisans of Antiochus or tributaries to King Attalus were all ordered to pay tribute to Eumenes. [7] In addition, they granted freedom from taxation expressly to the Colophonians who live in Notium,3 to the Cymaeans and the Mylasenians; [8] to the Clazomenians, in addition to immunity, they gave the island of Drymussa as a gift, and to the Milesians they restored what they call the “sacred land,” and to the people of Ilium they added Rhoeteum and Gergithus, less as a reward for recent services than in recognition of their descent. This was also the reason for liberating Dardanus. The Chians, Zmyrnaeans and Erythraeans, because of the extraordinary loyalty they had displayed in the war, were rewarded with lands and in addition were treated with every mark of honour. [9] To the Phocaeans they both gave back the lands which they had held before the war and permitted them to live under their ancient laws. [10] The Rhodians were confirmed in the possession of what had been given them by the earlier decree; they received Lycia and Caria as far as the Meander river with the exception of Telmessus. [11] Upon King Eumenes they bestowed, in Europe, the Chersonesus and Lysimachia, the strongholds, villages and lands within the boundaries of Antiochus; in Asia, both Phrygias —the one on the Hellespont, the other which they call the Greater; [12] and they gave back to him Mysia, which King Prusias had taken from him, and Lycaonia and Milyas and Lydia and expressly [p. 135]the cities of Tralles and Ephesus and Telimessus.4 [13] When a dispute over Pamphylia broke out between Eumenes and the ambassadors of Antiochus, because part of it was on this side of Taurus and part on the other,5 the whole question was referred to the senate.

5 Polybius (XXII. xxix) seems to think that the dispute [14] concerned all Pamphylia, not regarding it, as Livy does, as cut in two by the range. It is evident that not even the commissioners, while on the spot, could tell where the western end of the [15??] Taurus chain was situated, and one does not see how the senate could be expected to determine that geographical fact. The incident shows how indistinct was the [16??] boundary established by the treaty: cf. the note to xxxviii. 4 above. In XLIV. xiv. 3 Pamphylia seems to be free, but otherwise there is no indication of the senate's decision.

[17] With the chapters which deal with the treaty and with the settlement of Asia XXXVII. xlv. and lv. —lvi. should be-read.
