A Plea For Union In Greece
A speech of the legate from RhodesThere is nothing to show positively that a Rhodian is the speaker: but
Livy mentions envoys from Rhodes and Ptolemy this year. For the special
attempts of the Rhodians to bring about a peace between Philip and the
Aetolians, see 5, 24, 100. before an assembly of
Aetolians at Heraclea in the autumn of B.C. 207 (see Livy, 28,
7), at the end of the summer campaign.
"Facts I imagine, Aetolians, have made it clear to you
that neither King Ptolemy nor the community of Rhodes,
Byzantium, Chios, or Mitylene, regard a composition with you
as unimportant. For this is not the first or the second time
that we have introduced the subject of peace to your assembly;
but ever since you entered upon the war we have beset you
with entreaties, and have never desisted from warning you on this
subject; because we saw that its immediate result would be
the destruction of yourselves and of Macedonia, and because
we foresaw in the future danger t

at Thermus, where there was a temple of Apollo;
and there he once more defaced all the sacred
buildings which he had spared on his former
occupation of the town. In both instances it was an ill-advised indulgence of temper: for it is a mark
of utter unreasonableness to commit an act of impiety against heaven
in order to gratify one's wrath against man. . . .

to inspire dismay in the enemy; and care
bestowed on having it made to fit properly is
of great service in actual use. This will best
be secured if you give to your arms the attention which you
now bestow on your dress, and transfer to your dress the
neglect which you now show of your arms. By thus acting,
you will at once save your money, and be undoubtedly able to
maintain the interests of your country. Therefore the man
who is going to take part in manœuvres or a campaign ought,
when putting on his greaves, to see that they are bright and
well-fitting, much more than that his shoes and boots are; and
when he takes up his shield and helmet, to take care that they
are cleaner and more costly than his cloak and shirt: for
when men take greater care of what is for show, than of what
is for use, there can be no doubt of what will happen to them
