These men assured Quinctius that if the Rom, army had been at their gates the movement would have svee ded, and if he moved his camp nearer to the city the Argil w ould rise. He and the. Lacedaemonians sallied out to meet them. 'hey met near the Cvlarabis. a gvmnasium not three hundred Dies from the city, and the Lacedaemonians were without mua仃Ou Dle driven back behind their walls. The Roman general nen fixed his camp at the spot where the battle had taken dace and remained there for a day on the watch in. case any frsh move-, ment was started. When he saw that the citizens wereparaiy号ea by fear, he summoned a council of war to consider tte question of attacking Argos. All with the exception of Aristaenus were agreed that as Argos was the sole cause of the war, so it ought certainly to be the starting-point. This was very far from what Quinctius wanted, and when Aristaenus spoke in opposition to the unanimous sense of the council he listened to him with unmistakable signs of approval. He wound up the discussion by stating that it was on behalf of the Argives that war had been begun. and he could not imagine anvthing less consistent than 毛`)，毛J.夕呀.声 to leave the real enemy alone and attack Argos. As far as he was concerned he should direct all his efforts against Lacedaemon and its tyrant, the head and front of the war. After the council broke up he.sent some cohorts of light troops, infantry and cavalry, to collect corn. All that was ripe was cut and carried off;what was still green was trampled down‘ and spoilt to prevent the enemv from using it. Then he commenced nis march. anti atter crossing mountrartnenius anti leaving Tegea on his right he encamped on the third day at Caryae, and here he awaited the allied contingents before entering the enemy's country;1500 Macedonian troops came in from Philip and 400 Thessalian cavalry. He had now an adequate force, but he was still detained as he was waiting for the corn which had been requisitioned from the cities in the neighbourhood. A large naval force was also concentrating;L. Quinctius had arrived from Leucas with 40 ships;there were 18 decked ships from Rhodes:Eumenes was cruising amongst the Cvclades with i o 了气J V砂 decked ships.-Ao desDatch-boats and various others of smaller 1，V 1 build. Even refugees from Lacedaemon itself. ，driven away by 飞J the tyrant's violence and disregard of all law, gathered in large numbers at the Roman camp in the hope of recovering their country.
