After a good deal of rough-handling the Aetolians at last succeeded in getting the terms of peace settled. They were as follows: “The nation of the Aetolians shall uphold sincerely and honestly the majesty and dominion of the Roman people;they shall not suffer to pass through their territories or in any way assist any army which may be led against the friends and allies of Rome;they shall count the enemies of Rome as their enemies and bear arms against them and wage war against them equally with Rome;they shall restore to the Romans and their allies the deserters, the refugees and the prisoners, save and except any who have escaped from captivity and returned to their homes and then been taken captive a second time, and any prisoners from amongst those who were fighting against Rome at the time when the Aetolians formed a part o, the Roman forces. Of the others, all who are known shall be handed over without reserve or subterfuge to the magistrates at Corcyra within ioo days;those who have not then been disco,Oered shall be delivered up as soon as they are found. The Aetolians shall surrender forty hostages, such as the consul in his discretion shah choose, not less than twelve or more than forty years of age. No magistrate or commander of cavalry or public secretary shall be taken as a hostage, nor any one who has been previously held as a hostage by the Romans. Cephallania shall be excluded from the terms of peace." As to the indemnity which they were to pay and the method of payment, the understanding with the consul held good. If they preferred to pay it in silver rather than in gold, they might do so provided that ten silver pieces were taken as the equivalent of one gold piece. “Concerning the cities, the territories, the populations, which have at any time been incorporated in the Aetolian Leaguethose of them which have either been subi uzated or voluntarily surrenuerea to tcome auring the consuisrups of 1.·yumctius, Cneius Domitius, or the consuls which followed them, none of these must the Aetolians seek to recover. The Oeniadae with the city and the soil shall belong to the Acarnanians." Such were the terms upon which peace was concluded with the Aetolians.
