ἐπεὶ δὲ Ῥωμαίοις ὁ πρὸς Ἀντίοχον ἐν
τῇ Ἑλλάδι συνέστη πόλεμος, ἦν μὲν ἰδιώτης ὁ Φιλοποίμην, ὁρῶν δὲ τὸν Ἀντίοχον αὐτὸν ἐν Χαλκίδι καθήμενον περὶ γάμους καὶ παρθένων
[p. 304]
ἔρωτας οὐ καθ᾽ ὥραν σχολάζοντα, τοὺς δὲ Σύρους ἐν ἀταξίᾳ πολλῇ καὶ χωρὶς ἡγεμόνων ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι πλαζομένους καὶ τρυφῶντας, ἤχθετο μὴ στρατηγῶν τότε τῶν Ἀχαιῶν, καὶ Ῥωμαίοις ἔλεγε φθονεῖν τῆς νίκης. ‘ἐγὼ γὰρ ἂν,’ ἔφη, ‘στρατηγῶν ἐν τοῖς καπηλείοις κατέκοψα τούτους πάντας.’
