5. cum haec Romae agebantur, Chalcide Antiochus, ne cessaret per hibernorum tempus, partim ipse sollicitabat civitatium animos mittendis legatis, partim ultro ad eum veniebant, sicut Epirotae communi gentis consensu et Elei e Peloponneso venerunt. [2] Elei auxilium adversus Achaeos petebant, quos post bellum non ex sua sententia indictum Antiocho primum civitati suae arma illaturos credebant. [3] mille iis pedites cum duce Cretensi Euphane sunt missi. Epirotarum legatio erat minime in partem ullam liberi aut simplicis animi; apud regem gratiam initam volebant cum eo, ut caverent, ne quid offenderent Romanos. [4] petebant enim, ne se temere in causam deduceret, expositos adversus Italiam pro omni Graecia [p. 249] et primos impetus Romanorum excepturos; [5] sed si ipse posset terrestribus navalibusque copiis praesidere Epiro, cupide eum omnis Epirotas et urbibus et portibus suis accepturos; si id non posset, deprecari, ne se nudos atque inermes Romano bello obiceret. [6] hac legatione id agi apparebat, ut sive, quod magis credebant, abstinuisset Epiro, integra sibi omnia apud exercitus Romanos essent, conciliata satis apud regem gratia, [7] quod accepturi fuissent venientem, sive venisset, sic quoque spes veniae ab Romanis foret, quod non expectato longinquo ab se auxilio praesentis viribus succubuissent. [8] huic tam perplexae legationi quia non satis in promptu erat, quid responderet, legatos se missurum ad eos dixit, qui de iis, quae ad illos seque communiter pertinerent, loquerentur.
