After the new consuls had assumed office a rumour-so Valerius Antias tells us-gained wide currency in Rome to the effect that the two Scipios--Lucius and Africanus-had been invited to meet Antiochus for the purpose of receiving back the young Scipio, and that they were arrested, the king's army at once led against the Roman camp, which was captured, and the entire Roman force wiped out. It was further stated that the Aetolians gained fresh courage from this, and refused to carry out the commands laid, upon them;their leaders went to Macedonia. Dardania and Thrace to raise a force of mercenaries. Valerius goes on to say that it was reported that A. Terentius Va ，o and M. Claudi us sent by the propraetor A. Cornelius from Achaia to this news toRome. He supplements this tale by informing us that on their appearance before.the senate the Aetolians were questioned on this among other matters.and asked from whom thev had
、.声，J heard that the Roman commanders were made prisoners by Antiochus and their army destroyed, and that_they stated_ in reply that they had been so informed by their envoys, who were with the consul. I have no other authority for this story, and whilst in my opinion it lacks confirmation, I have not passed it over as entirely groundless.
The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
