[8] About the same time the Epirotes, weary of the protracted war, first sounding the disposition of the Romans, sent ambassadors to Philip in regard to a general peace, asserting their confidence that it [9??] would be agreed upon if he should come to a conference with Publius Sempronius, the Roman general. [10] The king was easily prevailed upon to cross over into Epirus, for he himself was not disinclined to peace. [11] Phoenice8 is a city in Epirus; there the king first conferred with Aëropus and Derdas and Philip, chief magistrates of the Epirotes, and later met Publius Sempronius. [12] Present at the conference were Amynander,9 King of the Athamanians, and in addition magistrates of the Epirotes and Acarnanians. The first to speak was Philip, the magistrate, begging the king and at the same time the Roman general to make an end of the war and grant that favour to the Epirotes. [13] Publius Sempronius stated as terms of the peace that the Parthini and Dimallum and Bargullum10 and Eugenium11 should fall to the Romans; that Atintania12 should be annexed to Macedonia, if the king, sending ambassadors to Rome, should obtain the senate's consent. [14] Peace being agreed upon on these terms, [p. 255]Prusias, King of Bithynia, the Achaeans, Boeotians,13 Thessalians, Acarnanians and Epirotes were included on the king's side of the treaty; on the side of the Romans, the Ilians,14 King Attalus, Pleuratus,15 Nabis, tyrant of the Lacedaemonians,16 also the Eleans, Messenians and Athenians. [15] These provisions were reduced to writing and sealed, and an armistice was made for two months, that meanwhile ambassadors might be sent to Rome, so that the people might order peace to be made on these terms. [16] And all the tribes so ordered, since, now that the war had shifted to Africa, they wished for the present to be relieved of all other wars. Publius Sempronius, after the peace had been made, left his province for Rome to enter upon his consulship.
