And

The
Prologe
.
PYTHAGORAS
the
Samian
,
and
diuers
other
graue
and
wise
Philosophers
,
haue
taught
&
lefte
in
writing
,
that
the
soules
of
men
are
immortal
:
and
the
more
strongly
to
approue
and
verify
their
opion
and
iudgement
therin
,
they
affirme
that
when
the
soules
depart
the
bodyes
,
that
they
haue
the
prescience
and
foreknowledge
of
things
to
come
.
Thereunto
also
accordeth
the
famous
Poet
Homer
,
as
appeareth
by
his
introducing
of
Hector
,
who
a
little
before
he
died
,
prognosticated
the
death
of
Achilles
,
which
shortly
after
ensued
.
The
like
also
of

dayes
hath
bene
wel
noted
&
knowne
in
many
that
died
,
who
at
the
hour
of
their
deathes
,
prophecied
what
should
happen
:
and
chiefly
confirmed
in
Alexander
surnamed
the
great●
his
death
,
King
of
Macedone
.
For
he
lying
at
Babilon
vpon
his
death
bed
,
being
by
his
friends
asked
in
the
very
extréeme
and
laste
article
of
death
,
to
whom
he
would
leaue
his
Realme
and
royal
dignities
?
answered
,
to
the
most
worthy
the
gouernement
thereof
.
For
I
(
ꝙ

foresée
,
that
in
stead
of
my

and

,
my
friends
are
determined
to
moue
open
hostilitie
&
warrs
:
which
in
déede
soone
after
came
to
passe
.
For
the
greatest
&
most
honorable
his
friends
,
striuing
for
the
principalitie
and
gouernment
,
were
the
causes
of
many
&
great

.
Al
which
matters
,

of
hys

,
shall
be

But
this
which
now
I
am
in

with
,
comprehendeth
and
setteth
forth
the
renoumed
actes
of
Alexander
his
successors
,
being
an
Historie
of
.vij.
whole
yeares
continuaunce
.
¶
After
the
death
of
Alexander
the
great
,
Aride
his
brother
is
established
king
,
and
Perdicas
appointed
to
be
his
gouernoure
.
The
first
Chapter
.
THE
same
yeare
that
the
Athenians
ordained
and
chose
Celphisodore
to
be
their
Prouost
and
gouernour
,
and
the
Romaines
created
Lucie
Fury
,
and
Dece
Iuny
theyr
Consuls
:
King
Alexander
deceasing
without
issue
,
chaunced
betwéene
the
raigne
&
state
,
to
arise
great
dissention
and
sedition
amongs
the
Princes
,
for
the
principalitie
and
gouernement
.
For
the
regiment
of
his
foote
men
were
wholy
determined
to
aduaunce
Aride
to
the
kingdom
:
who
although
sonne
to
king
Phillip
,
and
brother
to
Alexander
,
yet
notwithstanding
he
was
attainted
with
the
incurable
disease
of
the
mind
.
By
reason
wherof
,
the
rest
of
the
Princes
and
Nobles
in
aucthority
,
which
garded
Alexander
his
body
,
hauing
with
them
the
horse
men
called
the
Souldiours
,
condescended
and
agréed
by
one
whole
and
common
consent
,
to
reare
warres
against
the
footemen
,
rather
than
they
would
suffer
and
abide
their
insolent
boldnesse
.
But
before
they
enterprised
the
matter
,
they
thought
best
to
send
certaine
of
the
chiefest
and
most
honourable
personages
in
their
company
,
with
an
ambassade
to
the
footemen
:
Amongs
whom
Meleager
was
appointed
chief
&
principal
Ambassador
,
to
dissuade
them
to
desist
and
leaue
of
their
attempt
,
alleaging
that
it
stode
most
with
reason
,
that
they
shold
obey
the
Princes
.
But
so
soone
as
Meleager
was
come
amongst
them
,
he
neuer
made
mention
of
the
Ambassade
and
charge
committed
vnto
him
,
but
contrariwise
approuing
&
alowing
their
attempt
and
enterprise
,
did
al
that
in
him
lay
,
to
support
and
maintaine
them
agaynst
the
Princes
and
their
confederates
:
so
that
the
footemen
hauing
great
good
liking
both
of
his
counsaile
and
corage
,
ordained
him
forthwith
their
Coronel
,
and
thereupon
armed
them
to
giue
battail
to
the
aduersary
.
In
so
muche
that
the
Princes
and
Nobles
in
their
company
,
issued
out
of
the
towne
in
armes
,
and
put
them selues
in
order
of
battaile
.
How
be
it
certaine
of
the
wisest
and
most
circumspect
,
deepely
waying
&
considering
the
case
,
concluded
a
finall
peace
.
Wherein
was
agréed
that
Aride
shold
be
established
king
.
And
Perdicas
chiefe
of
the
Macedonian
princes
,
to
whom
Alexander
at
the
hour
of
his
death
gaue
his
ring
,
deputed
his
gouernor
.
And
to
the
rest
of
the
Princes
,
and
chiefe
of
the
army
,
were
diuided
and
geuen
the
administrations
and
gouernmentes
of
the
Prouinces
late
vnder
the
subiection
of
Alexander
.
Which
administrations
or
presidentships
the
Gréekes
called
Satrapies
,
&
the
gouernors
of
the
same
Prouinces
Satrapes
,
conditionally
that
euery
of
the
sayd
Princes
at
all
times
should
be
subiect
and
obedient
vnto
the
King
and
Perdicas
his
gouernor
.
¶
Perdicas
taking
vpon
him
the
gouernement
of
the
realme
,
deuideth
the
Satrapies
amongs
the
Princes
.
The
second
Chapter
.
SHortly
after
that
Perdicas
hadde
taken
vpon
him
the
rule
ouer
the
rest
,
he
forthwith
assembled
all
the
princes
and
captains
,
&
assigned
to
euery
of
them
certaine
Prouinces
to
gouern
.
And
first
he
bestowed
the
gouernment
of
Egipt
,
on
Ptolome
the
sonne
of
Lage
:
on
Laomedon
of
Mytthilene
,
Syrie
:
on
Philote
,
Cilice
:
on
Phiton
,
Mede
:
on
Eumenes
Paphlagone
and
Cappadoce
,
together
the
regions
to
them
adioyning
,
in
which
Alexander
,
by
reason
of
the
continuall
warres
betwixt
him
and
King
Darye
,
neuer
came
:
on
Antigone
,
Pamphilie
,
and
Licie
,
together
Phrigie

great
:
on
Cassander
,

on
Meleager
,
Lydie
:
and
on
Leonate
,
the
lesser
Phrigie
:
which
bordereth
aboue
Hellespont
.
In
this
sort
were
deuided
the
Prouinces
of
Asia
.
In
Europe
was
appointed
to
Lysimache
,
the
Countrey
of
Thrace
,
with
the
Countreys
and
people
therunto
adioyning
,
lying
vpon
the
Sea
coast
of
Euxine
:
to
Antipater
,
Macidone
,
with
all
the
rest
of
the
Countreys
bordering
thereon
.
And
for
the
residue
of
the
Countreys
and
Satrapies
of
Asie
,
ouer
&
beside
those
already
named
,
he
thought
good
to
leaue
to
the
rule
and
gouernment
of
those
,
whom
Alexander
had
deputed
in
his
life
time
.
And
the
rest
next
to
them
,
he
left
to
Taxille
and
the
other
Kings
and
Princes
,
which
before
enioyed
them
.
Taxille
.
And
the
Countreis
lying
beyond
Caucase
the
Mount
,
which
is
Paropanisade
,
he
left
to
Osarte
,
King
of
the
Bactrians
,
whose
daughter
Alexander
had
espoused
,
Osarte
.
named
Roxanne
.
He
bestowed
also
on
Sebirte
,
Aracose
and
Gedrose
:
on
Stasanor

Solian
,
Arrye
and
Draucine
:
on

and

:
on
Tlepoleme
Carmanie
:
on
Atrapes
,
Mede
:
on
Archon
,
Babilon
:
on
Achesilaye
,
Mesopotame
.
Besides
all
this
,
be
constituted
and
ordained
Seleuck
,
captaine
general
of
the
horsse
men
,
called
the
Souldiers
,
being
the
chiefest
Office
of
charge
,
&
most
honorable
within
the
army
,
Epheston
.
which
charge
Ephestion
first
had
,
and
after
him
Perdicas
.
Moreouer
,
the
Realmes
and
dominions
which
Alexander
gaue
to
Taxille
&
Pore
,
Pore
.
they
held
and
enioyed
them
according
as
Alexander
had
lefte
them
.
And
as
touching
the
transporting
of
Alexander
his
body
to
the
Temple
of
Iupiter
Hammone
,
the
setting
vp
of
his
Toomb
,
the
apparelling
therof
,
with
the
furniture
and
solempnization
of
the
funeralles
,
the
whole
charge
was
committed
to
Aride
.
While
Alexander
liued
he
appointed
Cratere
one
of
hys
chiefe
Captaines
,
with●●
M.
old
souldiors
to
goe
into
Cilice
,
to
whom
he
gaue
certaine
ordinaunces
and
Commissions
to
execute
and
performe
.
But
assone
as
Alexander
was
dead
,
the
Princes
his
successors
would
in
no
wise
agrée
that
the
sayd
ordinaunces
should
be
performed
.
For
after
Perdicas
had
seene
and
red
the
letters
&
registers
of
the
said
Alexander
,
Meruelous
enterprises
,
and
ordinaunces
of
Alexander
.
whereby
he
appointed
a
great
deale
of
treasure
to
be
leuied
for
the
buriall
of
Epheston
,
and
that
he
had
farther
assigned
many
other
things
of
great
cost
and
charge
to
be
done
,
he
was
of
the
opinion
that
all
the
said
ordinaunces
of
Alexander
shold
be
reuoked
and
adni●
hilate
.
But
to
the
end
it
shold
not
be
thought
that
he
went
about
to
derogate
the
aucthority
and
honor
of
Alexander
,
he
comprimitted
the
matter
to
the
deliberation
of
the
Macedonians
,
and
amongs
diuers
and
sundry
things
they
found
great
and
waightye
matters
(
worthy
remembraunce
)
appointed
by
Alexander
.
For
first
he
ordained
that
a
thousande
tall
Gallies
should
be
built
longer
and
bigger
than
were
in
Phenice
,
Sirye
,
Cilice
,
or
Cypres
,
to
warre
against
the
Carthagians
and
certaine
other
Countreis
,
lying
and
bordering
vpon
the
Lybian
and
Spanishe
seas
,
&
the
regions
to
them
adioyning
euen
vnto
Sicile
:
to
the
end
he
wold
be
Lord
and
gouernour
of
all
the
Libian
seas
hard
to
the
pillers
of
Hercules
.
He
also
ordained
that
there
should
be
erected
.v.
royall
and
honorable
Temples
to
the
value
of
fiue
hundred
talents
euery
of
them
,
and
that
there
should
be
cut
out
a
number
of
large
and
great
harborowes
,
in
places
méete
for
the
purpose
,
to
ride
at
harborow
the
said
nauie
of
gallies
.
That
done
,
he
willed
and
commaunded
diuers
mighty
and
great
Cities
to
be
built
,
&
those
to
be
peopled
as
foloweth
.
First
,
that
the
inhabitaunts
of
Asie
should
be
brought
into
Europe
,
and
the
inhabitantes
of
Europe
into
Asia
,
to
the
end
that
they
being
conioyned
in
mariage
and
affinitie
with
the
other
,
they
should
always
liue
and
continue
in
amitie
,
friendship
&
concord
.
And
for
the
places
where
the
Temples
should
be
erected
,
he
appointed
that
one
should
be
at
Delos
in
the
honor
of
Iupiter
Dodone
,
one
in
Macedone
,
to
Iupiter
Nidie
:
one
in
Amphipolis
to
the
goddesse
Diane
of
Scithie
:
the
other
two
in
the
honor
of
the
goddesse
Pallas
,
the
one
in
Cyrne
,
the
other
in
Illye
.
Which
temple
in
Illye
,
he
would
should
be
so
excellent
and
sumptuous
,
that
the
like
might
not
any
where
be
found
.
Ouer
and
bisides
all
this
,
he
appointed
a
tombe
to
be
built
in
manner
of
a
Pyramide
or
broche
,
in
the
honoure
of
his
father
Phillip
,
farre
excéeding
them
in
Egipt
,
which
are
thought
the
most
excellent
things
in
the
world
,
that
euer
were
séene
or
heard
of
.
When
the
ordinaunces
and
escriptes
of
Alexander
were
red
and
heard
,
although
the
Macedonians
loued
Alexander
maruellously
,
yet
after
they
see
that
his
enterprises
were
suche
and
of
so
great
charge
,
and
very
difficult
to
bring
to
passe
,
they
all
agréed
that
nothing
should
be
done
.
And
shortly
after
Perdicas
caused
thirtie
of
the
principal
soldiours
to
be
slaine
which
were
against
him
,
and
namely
Meleager
,
whom
,
bisides
that
when
he
was
sent
Ambassador
to
the
footemen
,
he
did
traiterously
,
and
quite
contrary
to
his
charge
,
he
accused
also
to
haue
bene
the
chief
conspirater
,
and
purposer
of
his
death
.
¶
Perdicas
sendeth
Python
against
the
Greekes
,
rebelling
in
the
hye
Countries
,
whom
he
ouerthroweth
.
And
incidently
is
described
the
scite
and
compasse
of
all
Asie
.
The
thirde
Chapter
.
AFter
Perdicas
was
aduertised
that
the
Grekes
which
were
deuided
by
Colonies
into
the
higher
prouinces
rebelled
,
and
had
assembled
great
puissance
of
men
,
he
sent
against
them
,
one
of
the
Princes
,
named
Python
.
But
before
any
mention
be
made
of
the
warres
,
we
think
it
first
méete
to
make
report
in
this
History
of
the
occasions
of
the
said
rebellion
,
together
the
description
of
the
scite
and
greatnesse
of
the
Countrey
of
Asie
:
and
the
natures
and
properties
of
the
Prouinces
of
the
same
.
In
doing
whereof
,
they
which
shall
read
the
History
,
hauing
before
their
eyes
the
distaunces
of
the
places
,
may
with
greater
ease
,
conceiue
and
vnderstand
it
.
First
,
the
Mount
Thaure
adioyning
to
the
Countrey
of
Cilice
,
extendeth
and
reacheth
all
alongst
Asie
,
euen
to
the
East
Occean
.
But
bicause
there
are
in
the
same
,
many
bowes
and
crookes
,
they
haue
therfore
diuers
and
sundry
names
,
so
that
Asie
is
deuided
by
the
said
Mount
into
two
partes
,
the
one
of
which
abutteth
and
lyeth
towardes
the
North
,
and
the
other
towardes
the
Southe
.
Some
of
the
springs
also
which
discend
from
the
sayde
Mountaine
on
the
North
side
of
the
hil
,
run
into
the
Caspian
sea
,
some
into
the
riuer
Euxine
,
and
another
part
into
the
North
Occean
.
And
the
rest
which
descend
from
the
South
side
,
some
fall
into
the
Indian
Sea
,
some
into
the
Occean
,
adioining
to
that
part
of
Inde
,
and
some
into
the
red
sea
.
In
this
manner
abut
the
prouinces
of
Asie
,
some
against
the
North
,
&
other
some
against
the
south
.
And
for
the
North
part
thereof
,
the
first
prouinces
which
boūdre
vpon
the
riuer
Thanais
,
are
Sogdiane
and
Bectriane
,
and
adioyning
to
them
,
Arrie
and
Parthe
,
enuironing
the
Hircane-sea
,
deuided
from
the
rest
.
Bisides
all
these
are
the
Prouince
of
Mede
,
the
greatest
and
largest
of
all
the
rest
,
hauing
many
and
sundry
countreys
belonging
there
to
,
called
by
their
seueral
names
.
After
these
are
Armenie
,
Licaonie
,
and
Cappadoce
,
very
colde
Countreis
.
Beyonde
this
straight
forward
,
is
Phrygie
the
great
,
which
ioyneth
vpon
Hellespont
,
and
of
either
side
it
are
Lydie
and
Carie.
And
on
the
right
sidelieth
Piside
a
great
countrey
.
Behinde
that
lieth
Licie
in

much
as
they
lie

euen
as
the
others
which
be

,
are
very
colde
.
All
whiche
were
deuided
amongs
the
principall
chiefetaines
and
Captaines
of
warre
,
which
serued
Alexander
as
hath
bene
aforesaid
.
But
to
returne
to
the
History
of
the
Greekes
,
(
I
meane
those
which
Alexander
had
sent
by
Colonies
,
to
enhabit
the
hier
prouinces
,
there
to
dwel
)
they
were
much
agreued
,
for
that
they
wer
driuen
to
forsake
their
maner
of
life
,
the
holesome
aire
and
fertile
soile
of
the
good
countrey
of
Grece
●
&
as
it
were
become
abiects
in
the
farthe
s●
wartes
&
confines
of
the
countrey
.
Notwithstanding
so
long
as
Alexander
liued
they
endured
the
case
for
feare
of
him
.
But
so
sone
as
they
had
newes
of
his
death
,
they
ge●
to
rebell
&
assemble
in
armes
to
the
number
of
twentie
thousand
footemen
or
more
&
thrée
thousand
horsemen
all
trained
souldiers
,
amongs
whom
Philo
Enian●
was
general
.
Philo.
When
Perdicas
vnderstood
the
rebellion
of
the
sayde
Grekes
●
he
sent
against
them
Phiton
one
of
Alexanders
garde
or
Pencioners
,
a
man
of
great
magnanimitie
and
courage
,
and
for
his
prowes
and
martiall
pollicie
;
worthy
the
charge
.
He
deliuered
to
hym
thrée
thousand
footemen
,
and
eyght
hundred
of
the
choi●
est
horses
within
the
armie
,
&
farther
directed
his
letters
vnto
the
Satrapes
in
these
quarters
,
commaunding
them
to
●●
euie
for
him
ten
thousande
footemen
and
eyght
thousand
horse
.
When
Phiton
had
taken
vpon
him
this
charge
and
addict
to
atchieue
hie
and
waightie
enterprises
,
he
hoped
vnder
that
colour
through
his
curteous
&
gentle
entreating
,
to
winne
the
loue
of
the
Grekes
,
and
so
thereby
to
encrease
his
power
and
get
great
signories
and
dominions
.
But
Perdicas
knowing
the
haultinesse
of
his
minde
&
courage
,
had
already
conceyued
that
whiche
he
pryuily
imagined
,
and
therfore
willed
and
commaunded
him
,
that
so
sone
as
he
had
vanquished
and
ouercome
the
Grekes
his
enimies
,
he
should
foorthwith
do
execution
on
them
al
,
and
giue
the
spoyle
to
his
men
of
warre
.
After
Pithon
had
receyued
of
him
those
souldiers
,
&
that
the
Satrapes
had
deliuered
him
the
rest
,
he
merched
against
the
rebelles
with
his
whole
powre
,
and
by
the
meane
of
Eniane
a
Greke
,
he
by
corruption
wanne
Lipodore
one
of
the
captaynes
of
horsemen
to
the
rebelles
,
and
therby
easely
ouerthrewe
the
enimie
.
For
although
they
were
the
greater
number
,
and
of
more
force
,
(
yet
the
victorie
beyng
vncertayne
)
the
traytour
Lipodore
retired
with
his
troupe
of
thrée
thousande
horse
towardes
an
hill
hard
by
,
whom
when
the
rest
of
the
souldiers
perceiued
,
they
stoode
in
suche
amaze
,
thinking
him
to
flie
,
that
they
all
fled
at
ones
.
By
reason
wherof
Pithon
obtayned
victorie
,
and
foorth
with
caused
to
sound
the
trumpet
,
and
made
proclamation
that
so
many
as
were
escaped
shoulde
cast
of
their
armoure
,
and
peaceably
depart
home
to
their
owne
houses
,
with
the
one
halfe
of
their
goods
:
which
incontinent
was
done
.
But
the
Macedonians
calling
to
remembraunce
the
commaundement
of
Perdicas
,
they
without
regarde
of
the
peace
,
graunted
to
them
by
Phiton
,
which
they
also
had
confirmed
with
their
othes
,
by
and
by
with
shot
ouerthrew
and
kild●
all
the
Captiues
and
foorth
with
butyned
their
goods
.
When
Pithon
sée
that
he
was
put
beside
his
enterprise
,
he
immediatly
returned
with
the
Macedonians
towardes
Perdicas
.
And
in
this
case
stoode
the
state
of
Asie
.
¶
Of
the
warres
whiche
the
Athenians
make
against
Antipater
,
called
the
Lamian
warre
.
The
fourth
Chapter
.
AFter
that
the
Rhodians
expulsed
the
Macedonians
garrison
amongs
them
,
and
the
Athenians
made
preparation
to
warre
against
Antipater
,
called
the
Lamian
warre
,
bicause
of
the
siege
of
Lamie
.
But
first
before
I
procéede
any
further
,
I
thinke
it
very
necessarie
to
make
report
of
the
occasions
of
the
sayde
warres
,
to
the
ende
that
the
déedes
and
factes
of
warres
exployted
in
the
same
,
may
with
more
ease
be
vnderstood
of
the
Reader
,
whiche
were
these
.
Not
long
before
Alexander
died
,
he
purposed
to
cal
home
againe
al
the
exiles
and
bannished
men
of
the
Cities
of
Grece
,
and
restore
them
to
their
mansion
places
and
dwelling
houses
,
thinking
that
that
woulde
greatly
redound
to
his
honour
and
fame
:
and
therby
he
might
haue
a
number
of
men
in
euery
citie
to
be
his
Pertisannes
or
garde
,
if
the
rest
at
any
time
tooke
in
hande
or
enterprised
any
mutany
or
would
reuolt
.
Wherfore
he
seyng
the
time
of
the
Olimpiad
at
hand
,
he
sent
thether
Nicanor
the
Stagerite
with
letters
,
conteyning
the
edict
of
the
sayde
restitution
straightly
charging
and
commaunding
him
in
the
ende
of
the
assemble
,
to
make
proclamation
by
the
sounde
of
the
Trumpets
victors
of
the
said
letters
:
which
thing
he
speedily
did
.
The
tenor
of
which
letters
hereafter
ensue
.
Alexander
the
great
king
of
Macedone
,
The
tenour
of
King
Alexanders
letters
.
to
the
bannished
and
exiles
of
Grece
gréetyng
.
We
haue
not
ben
the
cause
of
this
your
exile
and
bannishement
,
but
rather
are
a
meane
that
ye
may
retourne
home
,
except
such
as
haue
offended
against
the
sacred
lawe
.
Wherfore
we
haue
addressed
our
letters
to
Antipater
concerning
the
same
,
strayghtly
charging
and
commaundyng
hym
,
if
any
the
cities
refuse
to
do
this
our
commaundement
,
that
he
foorth
with
enforce
and
compell
them
.
When
these
letters
had
ben
proclaymed
and
red
,
the
people
therof
were
maruelous
glad
.
And
bicause
the
thing
pleased
the
multitude
,
they
made
such
a
noyse
and
showte
,
that
it
was
heard
vnto
the
heauens
,
for
as
much
as
ther
were
aboue
twentie
thousande
exiles
,
who
all
auerred
&
sayde
,
that
the
same
restitution
was
for
the
common
wealth
of
the
whole
state
&
countrey
of
Grece
.
But
the
Etholians
and
Athenians
were
therwith
euill
apayd
,
&
greatly
displeased
,
bycause
the
Etholians
feared
to
be
plagued
for
the
oultrage
they
had
committed
against
Eniade
,
whom
they
chased
&
expulsed
their
land
,
knowing
for
certain
the
the
king
had
sworne
that
not
only
his
neuewes
&
others
descending
from
his
line
,
but
also
the
exiles
and
bannished
them selues
woulde
be
reuenged
for
the
iniurie
done
to
him
.
Againe
the
Athenians
in
no
wyse
determined
to
rendre
the
Isle
of
Damie
,
whiche
they
had
deuided
amongest
them selues
,
to
those
whom
before
they
had
expulsed
.
But
bicause
it
lay
not
in
them
to
resist
the
powre
of
Alexander
,
they
endured
the
case
,
always
awayting
oportunitie
,
which
in
the
end
at
vnwares
happened
them
.
For
after
they
had
hearde
newes
that
Alexander
was
dead
without
heires
,
they
then
boldly
enterprised
not
only
to
set
them selues
at
libertie
,
but
also
tooke
vpon
them
the
gouernement
of
all
Grece
,
hauing
great
affiaunce
that
they
were
able
to
mainteine
warres
against
all
the
worlde
,
by
reason
of
the
maruelous
amasse
of
money
,
which
they
not
long
before
had
gotten
by
the
death
of
Harpale
,
recited
by
vs
in
the
booke
precedent
,
with
whiche
they
waged
the
mercenaries
whom
the
Satrapes
had
left
in
Asie
,
to
the
number
of
eyght
thousande
or
more
lying
then
at
Teuare
,
in
the
countrey
of
Peloponnese
.
Wherfore
they
gaue
secret
commaundement
to
Leosthenes
the
Athenian
,
Leosthenes
.
to
take
vpon
him
as
it
were
at
his
owne
costes
&
charges
to
wage
them
,
makyng
them
beléeue
he
woulde
without
knowledge
of
the
Citie
,
enterprise
some
notable
exploit
,
to
the
ende
that
Antipater
who
made
no
great
estimate
of
hym
or
his
doyngs
,
shoulde
haue
little
regarde
to
make
agaynst
hym
,
wherby
they
might
haue
leysure
and
time
to
prepare
for
all
such
necessarie
hablements
and
engines
of
warre
as
were
méete
for
the
purpose
:
which
thing
in
déede
was
done
.
For
Leosthenes
at
his
pleasure
,
assembled
the
sayde
men
of
warre
,
so
that
he
had
gotten
a
bande
of
valiaunte
and
lustie
Souldiers
and
of
great
experience
,
bycause
they
had
serued
in
many
sundry
&
notable
warres
in
Asia
.
All
this
was
done
,
before
there
came
any
sure
knowledge
of
the
death
of
Alexander
.
But
after
certayn
which
came
from
Babilon
,
had
giuen
it
out
that
they
sée
him
dead
,
the
Athenians
arrered
open
warres
,
and
sent
immediatly
to
Leosthenes
some
part
of
Harpale
his
money
,
together
with
great
stoare
of
Armoure
&
weapon
,
willing
him
no
longer
to
dissemble
the
matter
,
but
openly
to
beginne
to
warre
,
as
to
hym
should
séeme
for
the
best
.
When
Leosthenes
had
receyued
the
money
,
he
then
according
to
his
promise
,
payde
al
his
souldiers
their
wages
,
aswell
the
vnarmed
as
the
armed
,
and
so
marched
on
into
the
countrey
of
the
Etholians
,
to
the
intent
they
might
ioyne
with
him
,
whom
they
right
thanfully
receyued
,
and
with
great
courage
accorded
his
request
,
&
there
vpon
deliuered
him
seuen
thousande
Souldiers
.
From
thence
he
sent
to
the
Locriens
,
Phocians
,
&
the
other
cities
therabout
,
solliciting
them
to
take
their
part
for
the
restauration
of
the
whole
countrey
of
Grece
into
hir
pristinate
estate
&
libertie
,
from
the
seruitude
and
bondage
of
the
Macedonians
:
But
in
the
citie
of
Athens
,
the
richest
and
welthiest
citezins
,
prayed
and
exhorted
the
commoners
of
the
same
to
peace
and
quietnes
.
Neuerthelesse
there
were
other
who
diuers
times
,
&
many
wayes
had
gratified
and
done
much
for
the
sayd
commoners
,
that
continually
moued
and
stirred
the
multitude
to
warres
,
bicause
their
chiefe
liuyng
was
by
their
salarie
and
wages
in
the
time
of
warres
.
Wherfore
king
Phillip
oftentimes
accustomed
to
say
,
that
peace
was
their
warres
,
and
warres
their
peace
.
Therfore
an
edict
of
the
warres
was
drawen
and
published
by
them
which
were
deputed
by
the
communalty
,
as
followeth
.
First
that
the
people
of
Athens
ought
to
take
vpon
them
the
quarrell
,
to
reduce
into
hir
populer
gouernaunce
the
whole
countrey
of
Grece
.
Also
that
there
should
be
no
garrisons
maynteyned
or
kept
within
any
the
sayd
cities
.
Moreouer
,
that
there
shold
a
nauie
be
sent
to
sea
.
To
say
fourtie
excellent
tall
,
long
and
fléete
gallies
of
thrée
tier
of
ores
on
a
side
,
and
lxx
.
of
foure
.
Also
that
all
the
Athenians
of
the
age
of
fourtie
yeares
and
vpward
,
should
be
in
a
readines
to
warre
.
Moreouer
,
that
of
the
ten
tribunes
of
their
people
,
thrée
should
remayne
at
home
for
to
defende
the
countrey
,
&
the
other
seuen
to
be
in
a
readinesse
for
the
warres
,
to
sende
whether
it
should
be
thought
most
conuenient
.
Far●
her
,
that
Ambassadours
should
be
sent
through
out
all
Grece
,
pronouncing
and
signifiing
to
all
the
Cities
of
the
same
:
that
euen
as
in
tymes
past
the
people
of
Athens
dyd
repute
and
take
the
whole
countrey
of
Grece
to
be
one
common
and
frée
countrey
and
domi●
ill
of
Greciaens
,
&
had
assayled
,
chased
and
put
to
flight
by
sea
the
Barbarians
who
ment
to
haue
subdued
and
conquered
them
,
in
like
case
also
they
nowe
thought
it
best
foorthwith
(
for
the
common
libertie
of
Grece
)
to
moue
warre
,
and
to
be
contributors
in
the
same
,
both
with
their
shippes
and
money
,
for
the
sa●
etie
of
the
sayde
Grecians
,
before
any
other
people
of
the
world
.
Whiche
decrée
and
edict
beyng
approued
and
allowed
,
was
foorthwith
put
in
execution
.
Wherevpon
many
both
graue
&
wise
Grecians
seyng
the
imminent
daungers
that
woulde
ensue
sayd
,
that
the
Athenians
had
well
considered
of
all
things
concerning
honour
,
but
for
any
gaine
or
commoditie
that
thereby
should
ensue
,
they
greatly
er●
ed
and
were
deceyued
,
alleaging
,
that
before
they
néeded
,
they
had
taken
vpon
them
to
arrere
warres
against
great
and
inuincible
armies
,
exhorting
and
praying
all
sage
and
wise
men
to
be
otherwise
minded
,
and
to
take
example
of
the
late
destruction
of
Thebes
.
Notwithstanding
this
,
the
Ambassadours
of
Athens
neuer
desisted
,
but
trauailled
through
all
the
cities
of
Grece
,
persuading
them
by
eloquent
orations
&
fine
persuasions
to
wars
,
so
that
in
the
end
the
greater
number
of
the
cities
agréed
to
ayde
them
,
some
with
all
their
powre
and
force
,
&
other
some
with
certain
numbers
of
men
.
And
the
rest
which
refused
to
ioyne
with
them
,
some
tooke
part
with
the
Macedonians
,
and
the
other
rather
chose
to
be
neuters
.
Howbeit
the
first
that
ioyned
with
the
Athenians
were
the
Etholians
,
as
we
haue
before
declared
.
After
them
all
the
Thessalians
,
except
the
Pellenians
.
All
the
Oetians
also
,
except
the
Heraclians
.
All
the
Achees
,
the
Phitiothes
reserued
:
and
all
the
Eliens
,
except
the
Milesians
.
And
beside
al
these
,
the
Dorians
,
Locrians
,
Phocias
,
Aenians
,
Elisians
,
Dolopenians
,
Athamantians
and
Leucadians
,
and
al
the
Molossians
vnder
the
gouernement
of
Aripthy
.
For
he
had
shewed
him selfe
to
be
their
friende
,
although
after
he
betraide
the
Grekes
and
toke
part
with
the
Macedonians
.
And
as
for
the
Illirians
and
Thracians
,
fewe
of
them
would
take
part
with
the
Athenians
,
by
reason
of
the
old
enimitie
they
bare
them
:
But
notwithstanding
the
Euboians
declared
them selues
to
be
their
ayders
in
those
warres
,
&
all
those
which
dwell
in
the
vttermost
confines
of
Peloponese
.
To
say
the
Argiues
,
Sicionians
,
Elians
,
Messenians
,
and
those
which
enhabite
the
quarter
of
Acten
.
These
were
in
effect
all
the
people
of
Grece
,
whiche
conspired
with
the
Athenians
in
those
warres
.
After
which
conspiracy
,
the
Athenians
sent
to
Leosthenes
a
new
supplie
of
fiue
thousand
footemen
all
Citizins
,
fiue
hundred
horse
,
and
two
thousand
straungers
:
Who
trauailling
the
countrey
of
Boetia
,
found
al
the
people
in
those
quarters
against
them
,
bycause
that
when
Alexander
had
assaulted
and
wonne
the
Citie
of
Thebes
,
he
gaue
away
al
their
landes
&
possessions
to
the
Boetians
,
enhabiting
there
round
about
:
whiche
people
had
made
particion
of
all
the
sayd
lands
and
possessions
,
whose
reuenues
yerely
amounted
to
a
great
value
.
Wherfore
fearing
that
if
the
Athenians
preuayled
,
they
would
rendre
vnto
the
Thebanes
their
Citie
and
territories
,
they
determined
the
rather
to
take
part
with
the
Macedonians
.
After
Leosthenes
had
encamped
before
Platea
,
he
retourned
with
certen
of
his
Souldiers
into
Boece
,
and
there
ioyned
with
the
armie
of
the
Athenians
,
wher
they
encountered
and
fought
with
the
Boetians
and
ouerthrew
them
.
And
immediatlie
after
the
battaile
,
he
caused
a
Trophe
to
be
set
vp
in
token
of
victorie
.
Which
done
he
retourned
to
the
passage
of
the
piles
,
and
there
continued
certayn
tyme
,
always
awayting
the
puyssaunce
of
the
Macedonians
.
But
when
Antipater
vnderstood
of
the
death
of
Alexandre
,
and
the
diuision
of
the
Prouinces
which
had
ben
made
in
Babylon
,
he
sent
his
messengers
towards
Cratere
who
was
in
Cilice
,
who
had
ben
sent
thether
before
,
to
conduct
into
Macedonie
fiue
thousande
old
Macedonian
souldiers
.
He
sent
likewise
to
Philote
,
Gouernour
of
the
countrey
of
Phrigie
,
adioyning
to
Hollespont
,
praying
him
to
come
to
his
ayde
and
succour
,
and
by
the
meane
he
offred
him
one
of
his
daughters
in
mariage
:
he
vnderstanding
the
concourse
of
the
Grecians
against
him
,
being
Gouernour
of
Macedone
,
he
left
in
the
Countrey
for
Lieutenaunt
Sisbe
Sisbe
.
and
a
certayn
of
suche
Souldiers
with
him
as
he
thought
best
,
commaunding
him
to
leuie
so
manie
men
in
the
said
countrey
,
as
he
could
.
And
him selfe
with
.xiij.
thousand
footemen
&
sixe
hundred
horse
,
(
for
more
he
coulde
not
well
haue
,
bycause
the
great
numbre
of
his
Souldiers
were
gone
into
Asia
,
to
garde
that
countrey
and
confynes
of
the
same
)
departed
out
of
Macedone
and
came
into
Thessalie
,
where
he
sée
before
his
face
vpon
the
sea
coast
of
Macedone
,
the
whole
Nauie
which
Alexandre
had
sent
for
the
wasting
of
a
great
summe
of
money
and
a
great
deale
of
other
treasure
,
being
in
all
an
hundred
&
ten
tall
Gallies
of
warre
.
The
Thessalians
allied
them
with
Antipater
,
&
for
that
cause
they
had
sent
him
for
the
maintenaunce
of
his
warres
,
a
great
numbre
of
able
horse
men
wel
appointed
.
Howbeit
,
after
the
Athenians
were
come
amongs
them
,
and
that
they
had
with
pleasaunt
and
delicate
woordes
so
wonne
their
fauour
to
fight
for
the
common
libertie
of
Grece
,
they
wholy
yelded
to
Leosthenes
,
through
which
practize
the
Grecians
army
then
was
of
greater
force
than
the
Macedonian
.
By
reason
whereof
happened
,
that
when
Antipater
came
to
ioyning
of
battail
,
he
was
incontinent
ouerthrowen
and
vanquished
.
And
after
that
,
he
neuer
durst
come
in
the
face
of
the
enimie
,
neyther
yet
was
he
able
safelie
to
returne
into
Macedone
:
wherfore
he
was
forced
to
retier
into
the
Citie
of
Lauige
with
the
rest
of
his
army
,
whiche
Citie
he
there
fortified
and
furnished
it
with
men
,
armour
,
weapon
and
shot
to
auoide
the
siege
,
euery
day
looking
&
attending
for
ayde
out
of
Asie
.
Wherevpon
Leosthenes
forthwith
remoued
his
Campe
,
and
with
his
whole
power
besteged
the
Towne
.
And
after
,
he
had
encamped
and
entrenched
him selfe
about
,
he
approched
the
wals
offring
battaill
.
But
when
he
sée
the
Macedonian●
after
many
daies
offers
durst
not
sallie
out
he
assaulted
the
Towne
.
Notwithstanding
,
the
Townes
men
so
valauntlie
defended
it
,
that
they
repulsed
the
ennimy
,
and
slewe
a
great
numbre
of
the
rash
assailants
:
by
reason
the
towne
was
well
manned
,
throughly
prouided
with
all
kindes
of
hablements
of
warre
,
and
the
curten
of
suche
heigth
and
thicknes
that
the
besieḡed
with
great
ease
became
victors
.
When
Leosthenes
sée
that
he
could
not
by
force
winne
the
Towne
,
straightwaies
cut
of
their
victuals
,
trusting
by
famine
to
winne
it
,
wherefore
he
stoppeth
all
the
passages
with
large
and
déepe
ditches
and
trenches
.
In
this
meane
while
had
Leosthenes
for
a
time
gyuen
leaue
to
the
Etholians
to
go
into
their
countrie
,
about
suche
necessary
affaires
as
they
had
to
do
,
and
thereupon
they
all
returned
into
Ethole
.
And
as
Antipater
was
thus
distressed
and
in
great
danger
,
loking
for
none
other
,
but
that
he
must
néeds
for
wan
:
of
victuals
,
yelde
him selfe
and
al
his
power
to
the
enimy
:
sodenly
happened
them
great
good
lucke
.
For
as
the
assaillaunts
were
vndermyning
the
wals
,
Antipater
with
fierce
courage
falied
out
vpon
them
,
and
Leosthenes
comming
to
the
rescue
of
his
souldiers
,
had
by
hap
such
a
blow
on
the
head
with
a
stone
,
which
was
throwen
from
the
curten
in
time
of
the
skyrmish
,
that
it
felled
him
to
the
ground
,
and
being
by
his
Souldiers
,
taken
vp
more
than
halfe
dead
and
caried
to
his
Tente
,
within
thrée
daies
after
died
therof
:
who
for
his
noble
and
cheualrous
acts
in
feates
of
war
,
was
honorably
buried
,
where
at
the
commaundement

then
the
most
excellent
Orator
in
all
the
Towne
,
made
an
Oration
in
his
prayse
at
the
funerall
.
For
Demosthenes
the
Orator
was
in
exile
by
reason
of
the
money
which
he
had
gotten
of
Harpale
.
After
the
death
of
Leosthenes
the
people

Antiphile
for
their
Captaine

And
the
cause
why
Alexander
suffred
him
peaceably
to
enioy

,
was
,
that
he
had
suche
notable
warres
with

that

neuer
forced
of
Ariarathe

so
that
he
peaceably
held

enioyed
that
countrey
of
Cappadoce
many
yeares
.
By
reason
whereof
he
became
so
rich
and
of
such
great
wealth
,
that
he
had
waged
a
great
numbre
,
aswel
Cappadocians

as
straungers
,
with
whome
he
thought
to
defend

at

he
attempted

The
eight
Chapter
.
IN
this
meane
season
was
Cratere
come
out
of
Cilice
into
Macedone
,
accompained
with
vj.
thousand
footemen
of
the
most
expert
souldiours
that
serued
Alexandre
when
he
first
inuaded
Asie
.
And
vpon
the
way
he
tooke
vp
iiij
.
thousand
Persian
Archers
,
a
thousand
Slings
or
Shot
,
and
a
thousand
horse
to
aide
Antipater
,
and
to
reuenge
the
oultrage
committed
by
the
Grekes
against
the
Macedonians
.
But
so
sone
as
he
was
come
into
Thessalie
,
he
voluntarily
gaue
the
principall
charge
and
conduct
to
Antipater
,
praying
him
to
take
vpon
him
the
office
of
L.
Generall
of
the
army
.
So
they
encamped
together
about
the
Riuer
Pene
,
The
riuer
Pene.
and
one
day
mustering
the
army
(
accompting
those
which
came
with
Leonate
)
they
had
xl
.
thousand
footemen
well
armed
,
iij.
thousand
archers
and
slings
,
and
about
v.
thousand
horse
.
Notwithstanding
the
Grekes
feared
nothing
,
but
encamped
right
ouer
against
them
,
albeit
they
were
the
weaker
and
febler
companie
,
by
reason
that
a
great
numbre
of
them
(
for
their
many
victories
before
obtained
)
were
so
hault
and
proude
,
that
without
weting
or
knowledge
of
their
Captaines
,
they
were
gone
home
,
so
that
(
the
Captaynes
being
not
obeyed
,
nor
the
Souldiers
at
commaundement
)
there
remayned
not
behind
aboue
xxv
.
thousand
footemen
,
and
iij.
thousand
v.
hundred
horse
,
in
which
nmubre
of
horse
laye
&
consisted
the
only
hope
of
victorie
,
both
for
their
valiaunt
courages
,
&
also
bycause
the
countrey
was
playne
and
champion
.
Antipater
daylie
offred
battaill
,
but
the
Grekes
remained
quiet
&
kept
their
camp
,
loking
still
for
aide
from
the
cities
of
Grece
.
But
they
were
by
the
enimy
so
long
oppressed
and
gréeued
,
that
of
force
they
must
in
the
end
abide
,
and
put
all
to
the
hazard
of
battaill
.
And
bycause
they
desired
that
the
horsemen
shold
first
charge
,
they
placed
them
as
it
were
for
their
voward
before
the
Phalange
of
footemen
.
And
when
Antipater
sée
that
the
Thessalians
at
the
first
encountre
and
charge
had
gotten
the
better
,
he
commaunded
his
Phalange
to
marche
against
the
maine
battaill
of
the
Grekes
,
whome
they
so
fiercely
greeued
and
pressed
,
that
in
lesse
than
an
houre
they
had
almost
slaine
the
whole
Grecian
Phalange
.
And
at
last
the
Grecians
seing
them selues
no
longer
able
to
abyde
the
brunt
,
nor
maintayne
the
fight
,
retired
in
good
order
to
battaill
to
the
straight
passages
towardes
a
mountayne
,
where
by
reason
of
the
aduauntage
of
the
place
,
they
with
greater
ease
defended
them selues
from
the
power
and
force
of
the
Macedonians
.
And
albeit
the
Grecian
horse
were
to
harde
and
bettered
the
Macedonians
,
yet
they
seing
their
footemen
so
retired
,
yelded
them selues
to
the
enimie
:
so
by
that
meane
the
Macedonians
wanne
the
honour
of
the
battaill
,
in
which
were
slaine
about
v.
hundred
Grekes
,
and
Cxxx.
Macedonians
.
The
next
day
in
the
mornyng
Memnon
and
Antiphile
chiefe
leaders
of
the
Grecian
armie
,
assembled
their
Captaynes
and
called
a
counsayll
,
wherein
was
proposed
two
questions
.
First
whether
it
were
good
to
abide
and
tarrie
for
the
ayde
and
help
of
the
cities
of
Grece
,
and
continue
the
warre
vntill
they
were
of
as
great
powre
as
the
enimie
:
or
whether
it
were
better
(
considering
the
time
)
to
sende
vnto
them
to
treat
a
peace
:
so
they
agreed
vpon
the
last
.
Whervpon
they
sent
Ambassadoures
to
Antipater
:
who
aunswered
,
he
woulde
not
at
one
instant
condescende
and
agrée
to
conclude
a
peace
with
al
the
whole
cities
of
Grece
:
but
if
they
woulde
euery
of
them
perticulerly
sende
their
Ambassadoures
to
him
,
that
then
he
was
content
to
heare
them
,
and
otherwise
not
:
whervnto
the
Greekes
in
no
wise
would
agrée
.
Whyle
the
warres
still
continued
,
Antipater
and
Cratere
besieged
the
citie
of
Thessalie
,
to
the
ende
wherof
the
Greekes
were
not
able
to
come
:
wherefore
the
Citizens
beyng
sore
distressed
and
in
great
daunger
,
rendred
the
towne
to
Antipater
,
whom
he
receyued
into
fauoure
,
and
shewed
him selfe
so
gently
and
curteous
towardes
them
,
the
shortly
after
al
the
rest
of
the
cities
of
Grece
euery
of
them
particulerly
yelded
to
Antipater
,
with
whom
he
accorded
peace
.
And
farther
,
they
clerely
forsooke
both
the
Athenians
and
Etholians
vtter
ennemies
to
the
Macedonians
:
who
séeing
them selues
so
reiected
,
tooke
counsayll
of
their
captaynes
for
the
mayntenaunce
of
the
warres
.
When
Antipater
had
by
such
Stratageme
separated
and
dispersed
the
Greekes
,
he
then
with
all
his
powre
made
preparation
against
the
Athenians
,
who
séeing
them selues
vnprouided
of
aide
&
succoure
of
their
friendes
and
allies
,
were
greatly
astonied
:
Demades
.
wherfore
they
al
agréed
,
the
Demades
the
famous
Orator
shold
be
sent
to
Antipater
to
treate
a
peace
,
which
he
refused
to
do
.
And
although
they
had
called
him
to
counsaile
,
he
woulde
not
come
thyther
,
bycause
he
had
ben
before
thrice
condemned
of
the
priuie
Counsell
or
Senate
,
as
an
insringer
of
the
Lawes
,
forbidden
to
aske
for
him selfe
the
ayde
or
benefite
of
the
Lawes
,
and
to
declare
his
opinion
in
the
Counsaill
.
Neuerthelesse
for
the
cause
aforesaid
,
the
communaltie
incontinent
forgaue
him
,
and
sent
him
to
Antipater
,
accompanied
with
Phocion
,
Phocino
.
and
certen
other
Citizens
:
whome
Antipater
after
their
Ambassade
published
,
aunswered
that
he
would
conclude
no
peace
with
the
Athenians
,
vnelesse
they
wold
wholie
submit
them
to
his
discretion
and
gouernement
:
alleaging
that
what
time
they
besieged
him
within
the
Citie
of
Lamie
,
they
woulde
make
none
other
answere
to
his
Ambassadoures
.
When
the
Athenians
sée
none
other
boote
,
&
that
they
were
no
longer
able
to
resist
,
they
remitted
the
whole
gouernement
of
the
Citie
to
his
pleasure
.
Who
being
of
such
moderation
of
mind
,
redeliuered
to
them
their
Citie
and
landes
with
all
their
goods
and
cattels
.
Howbeit
,
he
altered
and
chaunged
the
gouernement
of
the
Citie
.
Declaring
,
that
where
before
the
rule
and
estate
of
the
Citie
was
common
,
he
therefore
now
decréed
and
ordayned
,
that
none
should
be
admitted
to
anie
office
or
dignitie
within
the
Citie
,
except
suche
as
were
of
good
reuenue
and
liuing
,
&
that
might
at
least
dispend
two
thousand
Drachmes
by
yeare
,
&
they
to
haue
all
the
aucthoritie
,
gouernement
and
ordering
of
the
same
.
And
that
the
rest
whose
lands
did
not
amount
to
the
clere
yerely
value
aforesaid
(
as
persones
seditious
and
desirous
of
tumultes
and
warres
)
were
clerely
excluded
from
authorite
and
gouernement
.
Neuerthelesse
,
they
that
were
contented
to
dwell
elsewhere
,
he
gaue
them
the
conntrey
of
Thrace
for
their
habitation
and
reliefe
:
of
whiche
sorte
were
aboue
xx
.
thousand
which
went
to
dwel
al
in
Thrace
.
And
there
remained
in
the
Citie
of
auncient
and
landed
Burgesses
about
ix
.
thousand
or
néere
thereabout
:
who
gouerned
the
same
and
territories
therof
,
after
the
Lawes
of
Solon
,
without
taking
away
from
Perseus
any
of
the
goodes
which
he
possessed
.
And
for
their
better
quietnesse
and
refuge
,
Antipater
least
behinde
vnder
the
the
charge
of
Menille
,
Menille
.
a
garrison
of
men
of
warre
for
the
repressing
of
such
as
would
go
about
to
commence
or
reuiue
anie
innouation
or
mutation
.
And
for
as
Samy
,
he
least
it
to
the
willes
and
discretions
of
the
Kings
.
Thus
the
Athenians
being
gently
handled
and
well
entreated
(
farre
beyond
their
expectation
)
minded
vpon
that
conclusion
to
liue
in
rest
and
peace
,
and
to
vse
their
trauaill
without
feare
:
by
meane
wherof
in
shorte
time
they
grew
to
great
wealth
.
After
Antipater
had
atchieued
and
obtained
these
victories
,
he
retourned
with
Cratere
into
Macedone
,
whome
he
perfectly
loued
and
greatly
honoured
,
bestowing
on
him
large
and
honorable
gifts
,
giuing
him
also
in
mariage
hys
eldest
daughter
Phile
,
a
yong
a
Damsel
of
excellent
fauoure
and
beautie
,
making
farther
great
preparation
for
his
retourne
into
Asie
.
Moreouer
,
he
used
such
great
humanite
and
curtesie
towards
all
the
Cities
of
Grèce
,
and
reduced
them
to
ciuility
and
politique
gouernement
,
that
he
acquired
great
prayse
and
renowme
.
Perdicas
lykewyse
rendred
to
the
Samians
their
Citie
and
Countrey
,
and
called
home
all

Thimbron
and

in

of
Cyrene
.
The
ninth
Chapter
.
NOwe
since
we
haue
spoken
of
all
the
factes
of
warres
done
in
the
Lamian
warre
,
it
behoueth
vs
out
of
hand
to
make
mencion
of
the
warres
which
the
Macedonians
had
against
Cyrene
,
and
to
gyue
it
this
meane
space
,
to
the
end
we
deferre
not
those
gests
so
long
from
the
time
in
whiche
they
were
done
,
but
to
make
the
matter
more
clere
and
manifest
,
we
must
beginne
somewhat
farther
of
.
What
time
Harpale
fled
out
of
Asie
into
Crete
with
a
certen
numbre
of
souldiers
(
as
in
the
booke
before
we
haue
mencioned
)
Thimbron
who
by
outward
apparaunce
séemed
his
friend
,
traiterously
slew
him
,
and
seising
on
all
his
money
,
men
and
shippes
,
sailed
with
all
the
said
souldiers
and
riches
into
the
countrey
of
Cyrene
,
and
by
the
meane
of
the
aide
and
conduct
of
the
exiles
of
the
same
Citie
,
he
gaue
battaill
to
the
Citisens
gouernours
,
and
vanquished
them
,
wherof
he
slewe
many
and
tooke
a
numbre
of
prisoners
,
and
so
wanne
the
Port
or
hauen
,
whereupon
he
put
the
Citisens
in
such
terror
and
feare
,
that
he
draue
them
to
come
to
a
composition
,
wherein
they
agréed
,
that
he
should
haue
v.
hundred
Talents
of
siluer
,
and
the
one
half
of
his
Charriots
and
Charrets
that
he
woulde
occupie
in
his
warres
.
This
agréement
concluded
on
,
he
immediatly
sent
his
Ambassadours
to
the
rest
of
the
cities
néere
hand
,
demaunding
their
ayde
for
the
subduing
of
the
Region
of
Lybye
,
thereto
adioyning
.
He
farther
willed
his
Souldiers
to
spoile
and
but
in
all
the
goods
which
they
founde
in
the
shippes
within
the
said
Port
,
the
rather
to
enbolden
them
to
enduer
the
warres
.
And
albeit
fortune
highly
fauoured
the
said
Thymbron
,
that
he
became
rich
&
proude
,
yet
not
long
after
she
brought
him
agayne
into
as
great
miserie
by
this
occasion
,
for
one
of
his
Captaines
,
named
Mnasicles
,
Mnasicles
.
borne
in
Crete
,
a
man
expert
in
martial
factes
,
chalenged
him
,
and
said
he
had
done
yll
,
bycause
he
made
no
egall
diuision
of
the
but
in
:
And
being
a
valiaunt
and
stout
man
,
and
of
nature
mutinous
,
reuolted
&
tooke
parte
with
the
Cyrenians
,
greatly
blaming
and
discommending
the
crueltie
and
disloyatie
of
Thymbron
:
dissuading
them
to
breake
promisse
with
him
,
and
to
set
them selues
at
their
owne
choise
and
libertie
.
But
when
Thymbron
sée
that
they
had
not
as
yet
payd
but
lx.
Talents
,
and
that
from
daye
to
day
they
delayed
the
payment
of
the
rest
,
he
held
the
agréement
and
composition
on
their
parte
infringed
&
broken
:
wherfore
he
tooke
so
many
Citisens
as
were
within
the
Port
prisoners
,
to
the
numbre
of
foure
score
.
That
done
,
with
al
his
force
he
besieged
the
Citie
,
and
preuayling
nothing
,
retired
into
the
hauen
.
In
this
while
the
Barcians
&
Hesperits
toke
part
with
Thymbron
,
wherfore
the
Cyrenians
purposing
some
facte
,
least
one
part
of
the
Souldiers
within
the
Towne
:
and
with
the
other
parte
salied
out
and
ranne
vpon
the
Barcian
and
Hesperite
camp
,
who
were
forced
to
send
to
Thymbron
for
ayde
:
whether
he
came
with
all
his
power
:
which
when
Mnassicles
sée
,
and
perceyuing
he
had
leaft
the
Hauen
vnfurnished
,
persuaded
the
Cirenians
in
the
Towne
to
assaye
to
winne
the
hauen
,
whereupon
they
immediatly
issued
out
,
and
with
great
ease
wanne
it
,
bycause
there
were
few
or
none
leaft
to
defend
the
same
:
all
whiche
was
exploited
and
done
by
the
meane
and
conduct
of
Mnasicles
,
who
straightwayes
redeliuered
to
the
merchaunts
of
the
towne
so
muche
of
their
goods
as
might
be
found
:
and
after
furnished
the
Porte
with
a
garrison
of
valiaunt
men
of
warre
.
When
Thymbron
vnderstood
that
the
Port
(
so
méete
a
place
for
the
anoying
of
the
enimy
)
was
lost
,
&
al
the
bagage
of
his
men
of
warre
,
he
was
thereat
greatly
abashed
.
Howbeit
,
he
tooke
to
him
a
martiall
courage
&
went
to
the
siege
of
an
other
Citie
called
Thacire
,
Thacyre
.
which
he
wanne
,
wherfore
he
waxed
right
glad
and
bolde
.
Neuerthelesse
,
not
long
after
happened
him
other
great
misaduentures
.
For
first
,
his
Souldiers
which
were
a
bord
,
hauing
lost
the
Hauen
(
therby
cut
of
from
victuals
at
land
)
were
constrayned
to
make
out
certeyn
bandes
to
fourage
the
fields
and
Countrey
for
prouision
of
victuals
:
whome
the
Libians
one
daye
among
the
rest
finding
abrode
disordered
,
discomfited
&
ouerthrew
:
of
which
,
some
were
slaine
,
other
were
taken
prisoners
,
&
the
rest
recouered
thire
shippes
and
went
to
sea
,
meaning
to
arriue
at
some
Port
where
they
might
finde
friendship
.
But
sodenly
arose
so
gréeuous
and
vehement
a
tempest
,
that
it
perished
and
drowned
manie
of
their
shippes
:
and
such
as
escaped
,
were
driuen
with
winde
and
weather
into
Cypers
,
and
vpon
the
coast
of
Egypt
.
Yet
for
all
this
ill
fortune
,
he
neuer
desisted
his
purpose
and
attempt
,
but
without
stoppe
sent
certeyn
of
his
chiefe
and
assured
friends
into
Peloponese
to
mustre
and
take
vp
Souldiers
,
willing
them
also
to
entertaine
the
two
thousand
men
of
warre
straungérs
,
lying
and
abyding
in
the
Countrey
of
Tenare
,
Tenare
.
and
to
bring
them
also
into
Libie
All
this
time
the
Cirenians
(
by
reason
of
the
late
ouerthrowes
by
them
gyuen
)
trusting
in
their
owne
courages
,
and
hoping
well
of
better
successe
,
boldly
attempted
Thymbron
with
battaill
,
wherein
they
vanquished
&
kild
a
great
numbre
of
his
people
,
which
conflict
made
him
almost
despaire
of
the
conquering
and
subduing
the
Cyrenians
.
But
sodenly
came
in
his
ayde
the
Souldiers
of
Tenare
,
wherewith
he
tooke
such
harte
,
that
he
a
fresh
assembled
an
other
great
numbre
to
commence
and
beginne
his
warres
.
But
when
the
Cyrenians
sée
that
,
they
by
and
by
sent
to
the
Libians
&
Chartagians
their
neighbours
,
requiring
ayde
,
so
that
with
them
and
of
their
owne
Citie
,
they
had
gotten
together
about
xxx
.
thousand
men
,
with
whom
they
arrered
an
other
great
army
,
wherein
on
eyther
side
consisted
and
depended
the
whole
and
totall
victorie
.
And
although
the
fight
endured
long
,
yet
in
the
end
Thymbron
obtayned
victorie
,
whereof
he
was
right
ioyous
,
hoping
then
in
short
time
to
conquere
and
subdue
all
the
Cities
thereabout
.
In
whiche
conflict
the
Cirenians
lost
al
their
Captaynes
:
wherfore
they
chose
for
their
Chieftayne
and
Generall
Mnasicles
and
other
vnder
him
,
to
defend
the
hauen
and
Citie
,
whiche
Thimbron
had
before
besieged
and
yet
still
dayly
approched
.
But
in
the
ende
,
the
siege
so
long
continued
,
that
victuals
within
the
Towne
were
verie
scarse
,
which
caused
great
muteny
:
wherfore
the
Cirenians
expulsed
the
most
worshipfull
and
riche
Citisens
:
whereof
some
tooke
part
with
Thimbron
,
and
the
rest
went
for
rescous
into
Egypt
,
and
desired
ayde
of
Ptolome
,
for
their
retourne
home
,
whereunto
he
graunted
.
So
they
departed
thense
towards
Sirene
,
with
a
puissaunt
army
,
both
by
sea
and
lande
,
vnder
the
conduct
of
Orphellon
.
Orphellon
.
When
the
exiles
with
Thimbron
vnderstood
of
their
comming
,
they
determined
by
night
to
steale
vpon
them
,
and
so
to
rob
and
spoyle
them
:
but
their
enterprise
being
reuealed
and
discouered
,
they
were
all
slayne
.
Then
the
Commoners
which
kept
the
Towne
,
perceyuing
the
exiles
at
hand
,
truced
with
Thimbron
,
and
ioyned
together
to
fight
against
Orphellon
,
who
encountred
them
in
battaill
and
ouerthrew
them
&
tooke
Thimbron
prisoner
.
When
al
these
conflictes
had
thus
taken
end
,
he
toke
the
Citie
of
Cirene
,
&
the
rest
of
the
Cities
neare
about
(
whiche
before
liued
at
libertie
)

the
behoofe
of
Ptolome

Lorde
and
Soueraigne

The
x.
Chapter
.
BUt
now
to
returne
to
Perdicas
and
King
Phillip
,
after
they
had
ouerthrowen
and
discomfited
Ariarathe
,
and
bestowed
the
gouernement
of
Cappadoce
on
Eumenes
,
they
tooke
their
iourney
into
Pisided
,
etermining
to
sacke
&
raze
the
Cities
of
Laurade
and
Isaure
:
bycause
that
they
in
the
life
of
King
Alexander
had
slaine
Balacre
the
Sonne
of
Nicanor
,
whom
Alexander
had
deputed
their
Patrone
and
Gouernour
.
And
first
by
force
they
tooke
the
Citie
of
Laurade
,
and
killed
all
the
men
and
made
portsale
of
their
infaunts
and
yong
children
.
But
bycause
the
Citie
of
the
Isaurians
was
strong
and
throughly
manned
to
hold
out
the
enimy
:
after
they
had
two
dayes
besieged
it
,
wherin
many
of
their
Souldiers
were
lost
they
(
seing
the
Citisens
wel
furnished
of
all
things
for
the
defence
thereof
,
&
fully
determined
to
maintayne
it
to
death
)
retired
:
howbeit
,
after
thrée
dayes
past
,
they
agayne
approched
the
wals
and
gaue
a
fresh
assault
,
which
the
Citisens
to
their
great
losse
,
manfully
defended
:
wherfore
being
then
disfurnished
of
able
men
for
the
manning
of
their
wals
,
rampiers
and
Bulwarks
,
they
purposed
an
honorable
fact
&
worthy
memorie
.
First
,
foreséeing
their
iminent
destruction
ineuitable
,
by
reason
they
were
no
lenger
able
to
resist
,
and
knowing
for
certein
that
they
should
shamefully
and
villaniously
be
entreated
,
they
therefore
determined
rather
than
to
yelde
to
the
enimy
,
to
die
an
honest
and
honorable
death
.
For
first
they
shut
vp
in
their
houses
the
old
men
,
women
and
children
,
and
to
the
ende
there
to
burie
them
,
they
set
all
the
houses
on
fire
,
which
being
on
a
light
and
the
flame
issuing
out
on
euery
side
,
they
cast
in
all
their
mouable
goodes
,
and
all
other
things
which
any
way
might
be
profitable
or
gaynefull
to
the
enimy
:
whereat
Perdicas
greatly
amased
,
commaunded
his
Souldiers
to
enuiron
the
Towne
,
and
gyue
the
attempt
to
the
wals
,
but
the
Townesmen
so
valiaunly
defended
the
curten
,
that
they
ones
agayne
repulsed
the
assaylaunts
.
Then
Perdicas
much
more
astonied
,
enquired
the
cause
why
they
so
couragiously
stoode
to
the
defence
of
the
Citie
,
considering
they
had
burnt
both
their
houses
and
goods
.
But
after
Perdicas
had
retiered
his
Souldiers
from
the
assault
,
the
Isaurians
threwe
them selues
into
the
fier
,
and
so
were
buried
in
their
houses
with
their
friends
and
familiers
.
The
next
day
in
the
morning
Perdicas
licenced
his
soldiers
to
sacke
and
spoyle
the
Citie
,
who
after
the
fier
was
throughly
put
out
,
found
infinite
treasure
of
gold
&
siluer
:
forasmuch
as
the
said
Citie
had
long
continued
without
warres
,
and
through
traffique
&
great
trade
of
merchaundise
grew
to
great
wealth
,
and
became
very
riche
.
When
Perdicas
had
wonne
these
two
townes
,
he
purposed
them
to
marry
being
in
choyse
of
two
Gentlewomen
,
to
saye
,
of
Nice
the
daughter
of
Antipater
,
Nice
.
whome
he
had
already
fianced
,
and
of
Cleopatre
sister
to
Alexander
the
great
,
Cleopatre
.
and
daughter
to
king
Phillip
,
sonne
to
Amint.
But
first
he
determined
to
allie
himself
with
Antipater
,
bicause
his
puissaunce
and
aucthority
was
not
yet
throughly
confirmed
&
established
:
and
therfore
fianced
he
his
daughter
.
But
after
he
had
once
obtayned
an
army
royal
,
&
princily
estate
,
he
altered
his
purpose
,
meaning
for
his
greater
aduauncement
to
espouse
Cleopatre
,
wherin
he
affected
the
kingdom
of
Macedone
:
to
the
ende
the
Macedonians
might
accept
and
take
him
for
their
Lorde
and
Soueraigne
.
Neuerthelesse
,
bycause
he
would
not
that
this
his
practise
should
come
to
light
,
he
in
the
meane
while
married
Nice
,
fearing
that
if
he
did
not
,
Antipater
woulde
be
come
his
vtter
enemy
.
But
after
he
perceyued
that
Antigone
Antigone
.
friende
to
Antipater
had
smelt
out
and
vnderstoode
his
determination
and
practise
,
and
beyng
he
emongs
the
rest
of
the
Princes
,
who
was
both
wise
and
martiall
to
enterprise
any
hie
and
notable
matters
,
he
thought
therefore
to
dispatch
him
cleane
out
of
the
waye
.
Whereupon
he
began
to
reproue
him
of
manie
false
and
slaunderous
imputacions
,
whereby
might
easely
be
perceiued
,
that
he
went
about
to
bring
him
to
his
finall
end
and
destruction
.
But
Antigone
like
a
wise
&
stout
Champion
dissimuled
the
matter
,
openly
pronouncing
that
he
would
aunswere
and
defend
all
such
false
and
surmised
accusations
,
wherewith
he
should
be
charged
.
But
contrariwise
making
secret
preparation
to
flye
with
Demetrie
his
Sonne
,
Demetrie
.
his
friends
and
houshold
folkes
,
enbarqued
in
certein
shippes
of
Athens
,
and
with
prosperous
winds
sailed
into
Europe
to
ioyne
with
Antipater
.
The
same
time
laye
Antipater
and
Cratere
in
Camp
against
the
Etholians
with
xxx
.
thousand
footemen
,
and
two
thousande
v.
hundred
horse
.
For
of
all
the
regiments
of
Souldiers
which
conspired
against
the
Macedonians
in
the
Lemian
warres
,
remayned
no
more
vnsubdued
but
the
sayd
Etholians
(
who
although
they
sée
so
huge
a
power
inuade
their
countrey
)
would
not
be
daunted
,
but
assembled
about
ten
thousand
lustie
yong
men
,
and
taking
with
them
their
wiues
,
children
,
and
all
their
goodes
and
cattels
vp
into
the
mountaines
and
strong
places
,
abandoned
&
forsooke
their
townes
and
villages
indefensable
,
and
thrust
into
the
rest
garrisons
,
who
right
stoutly
defended
them
against
the
power
of
the
enimy
.
But
after
Antipater
&
Cratere
were
entr●
d
the
Countrey
,
and
found
their
Cities
vnpeopled
,
they
turned
all
their
force
against
those
which
were
runne
vp
into
the
mountaynes
:
where
the
Macedonians
thinking
at
their
first
arriuall
to
winne
by
force
and
vertue
,
those
strong
and
inuincible
places
(
being
well
and
manfully
defended
)
were
greatly
discomfited
and
many
slaine
.
For
the
Etholians
being
ouer
them
in
the
straight
passages
&
places
of
aduauntage
,
repulsed
&
hurt
so
many
as
came
against
them
.
Whiche
thing
Antipater
and
Cratere
séeing
,
besieged
the
mountaines
,
pitched
their
camp
,
set
vp
Tents
and
Hales
of
wood
,
and
there
encamped
all
Winter
.
By
meane
whereof
the
Etholians
enclosed
in
the
mountaines
full
of
snowe
,
were
through
colde
and
want
of
victuals
brought
into
so
great
necessity
and
extremity
,
that
eyther
they
must
descend
the
mountaines
and
come
to
battaill
against
the
enimy
,
which
were
many
,
and
especially
against
two
valyaunt
Chieftaynes
of
warre
,
or
else
to
dye
of
colde
and
hunger
.
And
being
thus
distressed
,
and
thereby
almost
desperate
,
sodenly
happened
them
for
their
deliueraunce
straunge
ayde
and
succours
as
if
the
Goddes
had
sent
it
from
heauen
,
taking
pitie
of
them
and
respecting
their
magnanimitie
and
noble
courages
.
For
Antigone
comming
oute
of
Asie
(
as
aforesaid
)
arryued
at
that
present
before
Antipater
and
Cratere
,
declaring
the
enterprise
of
Perdicas
:
farther
,
asserteyning
them
,
that
incontinent
after
the
mariage
of
Cleopatre
(
which
should
be
shortly
)
he
would
with
his
whole
army
come
downe
into
Macedone
as
King
,
and
there
enioy
the
Empire
and
dominion
of
the
whole
countrey
.
With
which
newes
they
being
both
astonied
,
assembled
their
Captaynes
to
consulte
and
deuise
what
were
best
to
doe
:
and
by
their
aduise
they
concluded
to
take
the
honestest
peace
with
the
Etholians
they
might
,
and
then
spéedely
to
passe
with
all
their
army
into
Asie
,
and
that
Cratere
should
gouerne
and
enioy
the
Empire
of
Asie
,
and
Antipater
Europe
.
After
to
send
towardes
Ptolome
into
Egipt
,
desiring
his
helpe
and
ayde
,
knowing
him
to
be
their
chief
friende
,
and
vtter
enimy
to
Perdicas
,
who
with
asmuch
expedition
would
practise
the
discomfiture
of
him
by
espiall
or
other
martiall
pollicies
,
as
they
them selues
by
any
possible
meane
could
or
might
:
wherfore
incontinent
they
coucluded
a
peace
with
the
Etholians
,
thinking
nothing
lesse
but
at
last
to
discomfite
and
transferre
them
with
their
wiues
and
children
into
some
desert
in
Asie
farre
ynough
of
.
After
they
had
put
in
writing
and
sealed
the
treatie
and
conclusion
,
they
made
preparation
about
their
enterprise
.
Agayne
,
Perdicas
assembling
his
friends
and
Captaynes
,
consulted
whether
it
were
best
first
to
goe
into
Macedone
with
his
army
,
or
into
Egipt
,
but
they
all
agréed
,
that
he
should
first
warre
vpon
Ptolome
and
discomfite
him
,
alleaging
,
that
there
was
then
no
let
or
staye
to
go
into
Macedone
:
whereupon
he
following
their
counsaill
and
aduise
,
first
sent
Eumenes
with
a
great
bande
into
Hellespont
to
garde
the
passages
there
:
who
departed
out
of
Piside
,
and
went
straight
into
Egipt
.
Al
these
matters
were
exployted
the
yeare
that
Philocles
was
Prouost
of
Athenes
,
and

and

were
created

IN
this
meane
while
Aride
,
to
whome
the
charge
for
transporting
Alexandre
his
body
was
committed
,
so
soone
as
he
had
finished
the
Chariot
whereon

,
and
made
ready
all
the
rest
of
the
furniture
there
to
belonging
,
he
immediatly
tooke
his
iourney
.
But
bycause
the
excellencie
of
the
workmanship
was
sumptuous
and
singuler
agéeing
with
the
state
of
so
honourable
a
personage
as
Alexander
,
both
for
the
infinite
charge
&
dispence
of
many
Talents
,
as
also
for
the
singularitie
and
excellency
thereof
:
me
thinke
it
not
much
from
the
purpose
to
staie
a
while
in
describing
and
setting
forth
the
maner
and
order
of
the
same
.
First
,
a
Coffin
was
forged
and
beaten
out
of
fine
golde
,
portured
and
made
according
to
the
stature
and
bignes
of
the
body
,
verie
full
of
swéete
spices
and
many
other
droogs
aromatike
,
aswell
for
swéetenesse
as
also
for
preseruing
the
body
from
corruption
.
The
couer
wherewith
it
was
couered
,
well
proporcioned
and
made
,
fitted
to
the
same
,
was
a
fingers
thicknesse
of
golde
,
curiously
and
artificially
wrought
.
Ouer
that
was
cast
a
purple
cloth
,
curiously
enbroidered
,
and
wrought
with
golde
with
most
excellent
deuises
,
standing
vpright
like
a
brouche
,
whereon
was
hanged
the
armoure
of
the
dead
,
to
the
ende
,
that
all
the
whole
worke
standing
together
,
shoulde
represent
the
figure
of
his
noble
actes
and
inuincible
courage
.
After
that
was
brought
out
the
Chariot
whereon
the
Coffin
shoulde
be
carried
,
couered
with
a
tabernacle
of
gold
,
rered
and
set
vp
in
maner
of
a
vault
,
garnished
and
set
within
with
many
precious
stones
&
Iewels
,
eight
cubits
broad
,
&
twelue
cubits
long
,
vnder
the

rouffe
besides
the
workmanshippe
thereof
was
a
place
of
a

or
Throne
Imperiall
foure
square
,
by
which
stood
a
certein
kind
of
beastes
,
the
one
halfe
of
them
like
hartes
,
and
the
other
parte
like
goates
,
thrusting
out
their
forepartes
,
excellently
engrauen
and
wrought
in
golde
,
with
great
collers
of
golde
about
their
necks
,
whereat
hong
the
scutchins
of
the
armes
of
Alexander
such
as
customably
are
borne
at
hie
solemne
feasts
,
pictured
and
couloured
with
most
rich
and
orient
colours
.
In
the
toppes
of
euery
the
corners
of
the
place
of
a
state
was
a
valence
finely
wrought
like
a
net
,
whereat
hong
great
belles
,
the
noyse
of
which
were
heard
far
of
.
And
at
euery
corner
of
the
Tabernacle
stood
a
statue
or
Image
of
a
Goddesse
victor
,
all
of
golde
,
bearing
a
Trophe
in
hir
hande
in
token
of
victory
.
The
same
vaulted
Tabernacle
also
was
supported
with
small
pillers
of
golde
,
whose
toppes
were
enbost
and
enameled
like
the
curious
Pillers
of
Iony
.
Betwixt
the
Pillers
was
a
square
netting
of
golde
,
whereat
hong
foure
Tables
all
of
a
bignesse
,
at
euery
corner
one
,
of
egall
distaunce
one
from
an
other
,
wherein
were
grauen
and
artificially
wrought
diuerse
pictures
.
In
the
first
was
depainted
a
Charriot
vpon
whiche
sate
Alexander
,
holding
a
Scepter
in
his
hand
,
royally
apparelled
,
garded
with
a
bande
of
Macedonians
all
in
armes
,
&
an
other
of
Persians
called
Portpomes
likewise
armed
,
before
whom
went
the
Esquiers
for
the
body
.
In
the
second
table
were
grauen
the
Elephants
which
came
after
the
armed
men
,
appointed
as
if
they
shold
haue
bene
led
to
the
warres
with
their
Captaynes
and
Gouernours
on
their
backs
:
to
say
,
on
the
side
before
Indians
,
&
on
the
side
behind
Macedonians
,
all
apparelled
and
appointed
as
they
were
wont
to
be
in
the
warres
.
In
the
third
were
pictured
and
grauen
the
battails
and
troupes
of
horsemen
as
if
they
had
ben
ready
to
fight
.
In
the
fourth
were
set
forth
the
whole
Nauie
of
ships
,
all
apparelled
and
furnished
ready
to
gyue
battaill
.
At
the
entre
of
the
Tabernacle
were
two
Lions
of
golde
,
sitting
as
if
they
marked
those
which
entred
.
Atwixt
the
Pillers
were
certein
leaues
of
gold
,
subtily
wrought
,
which
mounted
by
little
and
little
vp
to
the
toppes
.
Aboue
all
this
was
cast
a
purple
cloth
like
a
Tent
,
which
couered
all
ouer
the
Tabernacle
without
,
and
in
the
top
a
great
crowne
of
gold
like
an
Olife
leaf
,
that
when
the
Sunne
cast
forth
his
beames
and
shone
on
it
,
forthwith
appeared
such
a
glistering
&
burning
light
,
that
so
many
as
sée
it
far
of
thought
it
to
be
a
hote
burning
furnace
.
The
place
of
estate
or
throne
,
whiche
was
vnder
the
tabernacle
,
stoode
vpon
two
Axeltrées
turned
with
foure
persian
wheales
,
hauing
no
kinde
of
iron
worke
about
them
,
but
the
only
shoing
:
and
for
the
rest
,
as
spokes
and
naues
,
all
were
of
gold
,
wrought
and
made
like
Lions
heads
,
byting
a
Dart
of
golde
,
which
serued
in
stead
of
lyntpinnes
to
kéepe
on
the
wheles
.
In
the
middest
,
betwixt
the
two
Axeltrées
was
a
rounde
pole
fastened
in
the
middest
of
the
Tabernacle
,
by
such
artificiall
meane
,
that
neyther
it
,
nor
the
place
of
estate
or
throne
which
stood
vppon
the
Chariot
,
being
dryuen
ouer
Hils
and
Dales
,
euer
weaued
or
reled
eyther
one
way
or
other
,
but
continually
draue
vpright
and
steadie
.
To
the
Charriot
belonged
foure
draught
trées
,
and
euery
of
them
had
foure
yokes
,
and
to
euery
yoke
were
foure
great
mulets
yoked
to
draw
it
,
so
that
there
were
in
all
lxiiij
.
fayre
and
strong
choise
mulets
,
and
euery
of
them
had
a
Crowne
of
golde
on
his
head
,
and
at
eyther
side
of
the
chekes
hong
bells
of
golde
,
and
about
their
necks
collers
or
wreathes
of
gold
set
with
many
and
riche
precious
stones
.
In
this
sorte
was
the
Charriot
apparelled
:
and
bycause
it
was
so
sumptuous
and
costly
to
beholde
,
and
not
almost
possible
to
be
described
:
there
came
(
for
the
bruyt
and
renowme
thereof
)
men
out
of
all
Countreys
to
sée
it
.
And
when
it
was
brought
into
any
Citie
,
the
Citizens
would
be
right
angry
if
they
stayed
not
vntil
they
had
their
ful
sight
of
it
.
And
when
it
went
away
,
they
would
accompany
it
,
so
that
for
the
beauty
,
richnesse
and
excellency
thereof
,
they
were
neuer
weried
with
the
sight
.
For
the
conduct
were
a
great
numbre
of
Pyoners
appointed
to
playne
the
wayes
,
that
it
might
the
better
passe
.
And
to
attend
on
it
,
were
a
great
numbre
of
Souldiers
richlye
apparelled
and
armed
,
appointed
to
follow
the
body
.
In
this
pompe
and
glory
did
Aride
transport
Alexander
his
body
into
Egypt
,
being
aboue
two
yeares
making
preparation
,
for
the
appareling
of
the
same
.
To
the
receyuing
of
which
came
Ptolome
with
al
his
Souldiers
,
euen
vnto
the
entre
of
Sirie
,
and
did
all
that
in
him
laye
to
honour
it
.
But
he
thought
it
not
best
that
it
should
be
carried
to
the
Temple
of
Hammon
,
according
to
his
owne
ordinaunce
and
appointment
:
but
rather
to
remaine
and
continue
in
the
Citie
of
Alexandrie
,
whereof
Alexander
was
founder
,
and
one
of
the
fayrest
and
renowmedst
Cities
in
the
world
.
And
to
the
ende
his
body
should
the
more
honorably
reast
,
Ptolome
him selfe
caused
a
Temple
to
be
erected
,
méete
for
the
worthynesse
of
so
honorable
a
Potentate
as
Alexander
.
Whiche
thing
done
,
he
there
honored
him
with
honorable
and
noble
sacrifices
as
was
the
maner
in
those
dayes
,
apperteyning
to
so
noble
a
Prince
.
By
reason
of
which
gratitude
not
men
alone
,
but
the
Goddes
also
estéemed
and
rewarded
Ptolome
therfore
.
For
men
vnderstanding
the
magnanimitie
&
bountifulnesse
vsed
towards
his
Prince
and
Soueraigne
,
came
from
all
parts
to
dwell
in
Alexandrie
,
offring
their
seruice
in
his
warres
,
although
they
knew
that
the
army
royal
which
Perdicas
arered
,
was
to
fight
against
him
,
and
so
that
both
he
and
his
estate
stood
thereby
in
great
hazard
&
daunger
.
The
Goddes
likewise
séeing
his
bounty
,
his
liberality
and
curtesie
towardes
his
friends
,
deliuered
him
from
many
great
and
daungerous
perilles
,
as
shall
be
well
vnderstood
by
that
which
we
will
hereafter
treate
of

The
.xij.
Chapter
.
WHen
Perdicas
sée
the
power
of
Ptolome
dayly
encrease
,
he
imagined
and
deuised
all
the
mischief
he
could
against
him
:
wherfore
he
determined
to
bring
the
greater
parte
of
the
army
,
with
all
the
Kings
of
Egipt
to
warre
vpon
him
.
Agayne
,
he
sent
Eumenes
into
Hellespont
,
for
to
stop
the
passages
against
Antipater
and
Cratere
,
deliuering
him
such
numbre
of
men
of
warre
,
as
he
thought
woulde
serue
his
turne
,
and
suche
Captaynes
and
Leaders
,
as
he
best
liked
:
●
mong
whom
was
Alcete
,
Alcete
.
brother
to
Perdicas
,
and
Neoptolome
,
Neoptolome
.
commaunding
them
to
obey
Eumenes
aswell
for
his
great
conduct
in
martiall
facts
,
as
also
for
the
singular
trust
he
reposed
in
him
.
After
Eumenes
had
taken
his
charge
,
and
passing
towardes
Hellespont
with
his
armie
,
he
tooke
vp
vpon
the
waye
in
the
countrey
of
Capadoce
,
whereof
he
was
Gouernour
,
a
certein
numbre
of
men
at
armes
,
and
thereby
strengthned
his
power
,
whiche
before
wanted
.
In
this
meane
time
were
Antipater
and
Cratere
come
into
Asie
.
Which
Neoptolome
vnderstanding
,
alwayes
hartburning
Eumenes
,
&
disdayning
to
serue
vnder
him
,
secretly
practized
to
ioyne
with
Antipater
and
bring
a
band
of
lusty
Souldiers
Macedonians
vnder
his
charge
:
practizing
also
and
deuising
secret
mischief
against
Eumenes
.
But
the
conspiracy
being
manifested
before
execution
,
he
was
constrayned
to
fight
against
Eumenes
,
whereby
he
was
in
extreme
daunger
:
for
the
one
part
of
his
Souldiers
were
slayne
,
and
the
rest
reconciled
them
to
Eumenes
.
Neuerthelesse
him selfe
with
foure
hundred
horse
escaped
and
fled
towardes
Antipater
and
Cratere
,
where
after
long
consultation
they
concluded
that
Antipater
should
go
against
Perdicas
through
the
countrey
of
Cilicie
,
&
Cratere
against
Eumenes
.
For
they
thought
if
Eumenes
could
be
vanquished
,
&
that
they
might
a
newe
ioyne
together
with
Ptolome
and
his
power
whome
they
looked
for
,
they
then
should
be
well
able
to
encountre
the
army
royall
,
and
discomfite
and
ouerthrowe
them
.
When
Eumenes
vnderstood
his
enimies
to
be
at
hande
,
he
mustered
his
men
,
and
arranged
them
in
order
of
battaill
,
but
chiefly
his
horsemen
,
in
whome
lay
all
his
hope
of
victorie
,
bycause
he
knew
right
well
his
footemen
were
neuer
able
to
abide
the
Macedonian
Phalange
.
When
the
armies
were
in
view
one
of
an
other
,
Cratere
like
a
stout
and
valiaunt
Champion
exhorted
his
soldiers
in
hartie
and
couragious
maner
,
gyuing
them
(
if
the
victorie
lighted
on
their
sides
)
the
butin
and
spoyle
of
the
enimies
Camp
,
thinking
thereby
the
more
to
enbolden
&
encourage
them
.
After
which
exhortation
he
also
arranged
his
battaile
,
placing
him selfe
in
the
right
wing
or
voward
,
and
Neoptolome
in
the
left
wing
or
rereward
.
He
had
in
all
xx
.
thousand
footemen
the
greater
numbre
Macedonians
(
in
whome
he
much
trusted
,
bycause
they
were
all
men
renowmed
and
experimented
in
many
battails
and
warres
)
and
about
two
thousande
horsemen
.
And
Eumenes
had
of
sundry
Nations
xx
.
thousande
footemen
,
and
about
v.
thousand
horse
,
with
which
he
thought
to
gyue
the
first
charge
:
whereupon
he
deuided
his
horse
into
two
wings
,
and
caused
them
to
troup
before
the
Phalang
.
Cratere
likewise
with
his
horse
first
encountred
Eumenes
,
and
fighting
there
valiauntly
,
was
in
the
prease
ouerthrowen
and
smothered
.
But
after
the
horsemen
which
charged
with
him
in
the
right
wing
or
voward
,
vnderstood
of
his
death
,
and
séeing
the
enimy
going
about
to
enclose
them
(
notwithstanding
their
valyaunt
fight
)
retired
to
their
battaill
of
footemen
as
vanquished
.
But
Neoptolome
who
led
the
rereward
of
Cratere
his
army
,
&
Eumenes
which
had
the
voward
of
his
owne
,
so
violently
charged
one
an
other
,
that
the
fight
on
eyther
side
was
cruel
.
Then
the
two
Captaynes
,
which
both
by
their
horses
and
other
signes
&
tokens
knew
one
another
,
encountered
body
to
body
,
and
with
great
courage
,
fel
&
angry
moode
,
valiauntly
fought
:
which
fight
was
cause
of
victory
,
for
after
they
had
a
while
buskled
and
fought
together
with
their
swordes
,
they
forsooke
hold
of
their
bridles
,
and
wrestled
on
horseback
,
meaning
by
playne
force
to
ouerthrowe
one
another
.
But
as
they
were
thus
wrestling
,
their
horses
drewe
backe
,
&
they
both
fell
to
the
ground
,
which
fal
was
such
,
that
neyther
of
them
(
by
reason
of
the
heauinesse
of
their
armour
)
coulde
well
recouer
their selues
.
Howbeit
,
Eumenes
first
recouered
his
féete
,
and
comming
with
his
sworde
in
his
hande
towardes
Neoptolome
,
gaue
him
such
a
blowe
,
that
he
cut
his
hamme
strings
cleane
asunder
,
whereby
he
could
not
arise
.
But
his
harte
which
supported
the
imbecillity
of
his
body
was
such
,
that
he
recouered
his
knées
and
defending
him selfe
manfully
,
wounded
his
enimy
on
the
hande
and
on
both
his
thighes
:
notwithstanding
,
him selfe
continually
bled
,
and
bycause
the
wounds
he
gaue
Eumenes
were
neither
déepe
nor
deadly
,
Eumenes
at
the
next
encountre
so
violently
strake
him
on
the
head
,
that
he
yelded
the
ghost
.
During
this
affray
,
the
Souldiers
valiauntly
fought
:
and
albeit
on
eyther
side
was
great
slaughter
,
yet
woulde
they
not
gyue
ouer
vntil
Neoptolome
his
death
was
knowen
,
and
then
the
horsemen
gaue
ouer
and
retired
towards
their
Phalange
as
to
their
garde
and
place
of
suerty
.
When
Eumenes
had
considered
that
he
had
wonne
honour
ynough
in
obtayning
victory
,
and
especially
that
he
had
gotten
the
bodies
of
two
his
chiefest
enimies
,
he
caused
to
sound
the
retraict
.
And
after
he
had
set
vp
&
garnished
his
Trophe
,
and
buried
the
dead
,
he
sent
certaine
messangers
towards
the
Macedonian
Phalange
,
to
exhorte
them
to
take
his
parte
,
offring
to
as
many
as
were
disposed
,
leaue
to
departe
.
Who
taking
the
appointment
&
league
confirmed
by
their
othes
,
prayed
they
might
go
to
the
next
villages
to
prouide
them
of
victuals
:
whereunto
be
agréed
.
But
after
they
had
made
their
prouision
(
falsifying
their
othe
&
promisse
)
they
in
the
night
stole
their
wayes
,
meaning
to
ioyne
with
Antipater
,
whereof
Eumenes
aduertised
and
thinking
of
the
periured
traytours
to
be
reuenged
,
incontinent
pursued
them
.
But
séeing
(
what
for
their
manly
&
noble
courages
,
and
also
for
the
dolor
and
anguishe
whiche
he
felt
of
his
wounds
)
that
he
nothing
preuayled
,
he
immediatly
retired
.
And
thus
through
this
great
victory
,
but
chiefly
by
the
killing
of
two
his
principall
enimies
,
being
both
noble
personages
&
well
estemed
,
he
acquired
great
renowme
and
fame
.
From
thence
he
marched
towardes
Perdicas
,
through
the
Countrey
of
Cilice
,
hoping
in
good
time
to
come
to
his
succoure
and
helpe
.

brought

many
of
his
Souldiers
rendred
to
Ptolome
:
for
Perdicas
in
the
ende
became
so
detestable
in
pride
,
&
beastly
cruelty
,
that
he
put
his
Captaynes
from
all
gouernement
and
would
by
force
&
viole●
ne
ouer
rule
al.
But
Ptolome
did
otherwise
,
for
he
was
curteous
&
liberall
to
his
Captaynes
,
&
would
gladly
heare
them
whensoeuer
they
spake
:
&
besides
,
he
prouided
for
the
méete
and
necessarie
places
of
Egipt
,
and
furnished
them
with
men
,
armoure
,
weapon
,
and
all
other
things
néedefull
for
the
defence
of
the
Countrey
.
Wherfore
,
whatsoeuer
aduentures
he
tooke
in
hande
,
eyther
in
battaill
or
else
,
he
commonly
had
the
better
,
bycause
his
Souldiers
loued
him
so
dearely
,
that
they
woulde
hasard
them selues
in
any
daunger
to
do
him
pleasure
&
seruice
.
When
Perdicas
sée
this
eminent
mischief
,
meaning
to
get
agayne
the
good
willes
of
his
Captaynes
clerely
lost
,
and
to
put
things
in
better
order
,
that
were
disordered
:
he
by
the
sound
of
the
Trumpet
assembled
his
Captaynes
and
Souldiers
,
making
a
long
protestation
,
wherin
(
with
curteous
and
gentle
wordes
)
he
exhorted
them
,
&
when
he
had
by
gifts
wonne
some
,
and
other
with
large
promisses
,
thinking
that
he
had
then
brought
them
agayne
to
a
good
conformitie
to
serue
him
,
and
to
attempt
any
danger
he
would
lead
them
to
for
his
cause
:
he
commaunded
them
that
they
should
by
the
first
watch
be
in
a
readinesse
to
marche
forward
,
not
declaring
to
any
whether
he
wold
:
and
continuing
their
iourney
all
night
with
great
spéede
,
about
the
day
breake
,
they
encamped
by
Nyle
,
néere
a
towne
and
Castle
called
the
Wall
of
the
Camels
,
The
Wall
of
the
Camelles
.
and
besieged
it
.
But
after
a
dayes
continuaunce
there
,
he
beganne
to
set
ouer
his
army
.
And
first
,
he
put
ouer
his
Elephantes
,
next
to
them
,
his
footemen
which
carried
the
terges
and
scaling
ladders
,
and
all
the
rest
which
were
appointed
for
the
assaulte
of
the
towne
.
After
them
he
placed
his
best
men
at
armes
which
should
encountre
Ptolome
if
at
any
tyme
he
issued
out
into
the
fields
.
And
as
they
were
passing
&
about
the
middest
of
the
riuer
,
they
escried
on
the
other
side
the
enimy
,
whome
Ptolome
with
great
spéede
●
hrust
into
the
towne
for
the
defence
thereof
.
And
although
they
were
first
entred
the
towne
,
which
they
well
vnderstood
both
by
their
noyse
,
and
sound
of
Trūppets
,
it
nothing
daunted
the
courages
of
Perdicas
Souldiers
,
but
that
they
stoutely
approched
the
walles
,
and
addressed
them
to
the
scaling
thereof
,
and
they
which
led
the
Elephaunts
threw
downe
the
trenches
and
battred
and
spoyled
the
batlements
of
the
Curtennes
:
whiche
thing
Ptolome
séeing
,
and
minding
to
encourage
his
Captaynes
and
Souldiers
(
whereof
were
many
both
famous
and
valiaunt
)
encountred
them
euen
vpon
the
vttermost
rampare
at
the
push
of
the
Pyke
,
and
fighting
in
a
place
of
aduauntage
,
put
out
the
eyes
of
the
foremost
Elephant
,
and
sore
wounded
his
ruler
an
Indian
.
This
done
,
he
with
great
despite
and
mighty
blowes
,
charged
the
scalants
,
&
tumbled
them
from
the
ladders
into
the
riuer
which
ranne
alongest
the
side
of
the
Towne
.
Then
his
friends
&
compaignions
in
armes
purposing
some
notable
exploit
,
with
shot
so
charged
the
other
Elephant
which
followed
the
first
,
that
they
slew
his
gouernour
,
whereby
he
could
do
nothing
.
Notwithstanding
all
this
,
Perdicas
Soldiers
continued
the
assault
&
forced
to
enter
:
when
Ptolome
sée
that
he
then
bare
him selfe
twice
so
bold
&
stout
,
&
to
gyue
good
example
of
wel
doings
to
all
his
friends
,
he
in
his
owne
person
exploited
notable
déedes
of
armes
:
whereby
many
worthy
men
(
through
the
noble
courages
of
their
Captaynes
)
with
aduenturing
lost
both
life
&
limme
.
And
bycause
Ptolome
had
the
place
of
aduauntage
,
&
the
enimy
the
greater
numbre
,
the
assault
on
eyther
side
continued
long
&
daungerous
,
vntill
at
last
Perdicas
séeing
he
could
by
no
meane
winne
it
,
and
that
night
drew
on
,
he
retired
into
his
Camp
,
&
immediatly
without
noyse
,
priuily
remoued
and
came
to
a
place
right
ouer
against
the
Citie
of
Memphis
,
where
the
Riuer
Nyle
maketh
a
particion
like
vnto
an
Isle
,
and
an
excellent
good
and
méete
place
to
encamp
a
great
&
mighty
army
.
Into
this
put
he
ouer
his
army
,
being
hard
for
the
Souldiers
to
passe
,
bycause
they
waded
vp
to
their
chinnes
,
&
through
the
violence
and
swiftnesse
thereof
so
staggered
,
that
with
great
payne
they
hardly
passed
.
When
Perdicas
had
séene
the
daungerous
and
difficult
passage
,
he
sent
his
Elephantes
on
the
left
side
vp
into
the
Riuer
to
breake
the
violence
of
the
streame
,
and
beneath
on
the
right
hande
,
placed
his
horsemen
to
take
vp
them
whome
the
violence
of
the
water
did
carry
away
,
and
so
bring
them
to
land
.
In
this
passage
chaunced
a
singular
thing
,
and
greatly
to
be
maruelled
at
.
A
thing
to
be
maruelled
at
.
For
after
the
first
company
had
safely
passed
ouer
,
the
rest
which
followed
,
were
in
wonderfull
daunger
,
bycause
the
Riuer
sodenly
swelled
and
became
so
déepe
,
that
none
could
perceyue
by
any
apparaunt
reason
whereof
it
should
come
,
for
it
ranne
aboue
the
Soldiers
heads
.
And
being
enquired
and
reasoned
of
what
might
be
the
cause
,
aunswere
was
made
,
that
there
was
some
lowe
or
hollowe
place
about
the
arme
of
the
Riuer
stopped
vp
,
by
meane
whereof
the
waters
goulfed
,
&
therevpon
procéeded
the
swelling
and
waxing
:
some
sayd
it
had
rayned
about
the
head
or
spring
of
the
Riuer
,
and
that
that
might
be
the
cause
.
But
after
,
it
was
found
to
be
neyther
the
one
nor
the
other
,
for
they
whiche
went
ouer
first
,
so
raysed
and
remoued
the
sand
and
grauell
which
lay
in
the
bottome
of
the
water
,
that
the
violence
and
swiftenesse
therof
carryed
it
away
:
and
so
by
that
meane
became
déeper
,
and
chiefly
in
the
chanell
.
When
Perdicas
sée
that
his
souldiers
already
ouer
,
were
not
able
to
resist
Ptolome
,
nor
him self
able
to
make
any
shift
to
set
ouer
the
rest
,
he
was
in
such
a
perplexity
,
that
he
commaunded
them
that
were
ouer
to
returne
.
So
the
mighty
and
strong
men
and
such
as
could
swimme
,
came
hardly
backe
agayne
,
leauing
behind
them
(
notwithstanding
)
their
armour
,
other
which
had
no
skill
in
swimming
,
were
with
the
water
swallowed
vp
,
and
a
great
many
violently
carried
downe
with
the
streame
,
were
eaten
and
deuoured
of
the
Crocodiles
:
the
rest
whiche
durst
not
gyue
the
aduenture
,
yelded
to
the
enimy
,
who
spoyled
and
robbed
them
of
all
they
had
.
When
Perdicas
in
this
sorte
had
lost
better
than
two
thousand
of
his
men
,
amongs
whome
were
a
great
many
good
Captaynes
,
the
biggest
numbre
of
the
army
found
them
sore
agréeued
with●
him
.
Contrariwise
,
when
Ptolome
had
burnt
the
dead
carcases
whiche
were
cast
on
lande
on
his
side
,
he
sent
their
bones
to
their
kinsfolks
and
friends
.
When
the
Macedonians
with
Perdicas
vnderstood
that
,
they
were
then
more
offended
with
Perdicas
●
than
before
,
and
enclined
to
the
good
nature
and
conditions
of
Ptolome
.
But
at
night
,
all
the
whole
Camp
was
filled
with
sorrowes
,
complaintes
,
lamentations
,
&
wéepings
:
bycause
they
had
lost
through
euill
conduct
and
want
of
good
guyding
(
without
fight
)
such
a
numbre
of
their
friends
:
of
which
the
better
parte
of
a
thousand
were
eaten
and
deuoured
with
Crocodils
:
whereupon
diuerse
of
the
Captaynes
(
for
the
causes
aboue
rehearsed
)
assembled
,
openly
blaming
Perdicas
.
Againe
,
the
battail
of
footemen
with
threatning
wordes
shewed
their
malice
&
grudge
against
him
.
For
that
very
cause
also
the
principall
Captaynes
assembled
,
amongs
whome
Pithon
was
chief
,
the
same
Pithon
who
at
the
commaundement
of
Perdicas
,
had
in
the
hier
Asie
discomfited
the
Grecian
rebels
,
and
for
his
noblenesse
and
vertue
nothing
inferior
to
any
of
Alexanders
friends
and
familiars
.
Whereupon
they
all
with
one
accord
,
hauing
at
their
commaundement
certain
of
the
men
at
armes
,
forcibly
and
violently
rushed
vpon
the
pauillon
of
Perdicas
,
and
there
incontinent
slew
him
.
The
next
day
following
Ptolome
came
towardes
the
Macedonians
,
and
after
he
had
saluted
them
and
excused
him
of
all
suche
matters
as
Perdicas
would
haue
charged
him
withall
,
he
caused
to
be
brought
such
abundaunce
of
bread
,
wine
and
diuerse
other
necessarie
things
,
as
furnished
and
fillede
their
Camp
:
whereby
he
acquired
so
great
fauoure
and
good
will
of
the
whole
army
,
that
they
woulde
néedes
in
Perdicas
stede
,
make
him
gouernour
and
regent
of
the
Kings
:
whiche
charge
he
clerely
refused
,
but
made
meanes
,
that
that
gouernement
with
the
whole
power
&
aucthority
therof
(
by
the
aduise
and
deliberation
of
the
whole
counsaill
)
might
be
bestowed
vpon
Pithon
&
Aride
,
the
same
Aride
who
transported
the
bodye
of
Alexander
in
to
the
Citie
of
Alexandrie
.
Thus
and
in
this
maner
dyd
Perdicas
(
after
he
he
had
ruled
and
gouerned
the
principalitie
the
space
of
.iij.
yeares
)
lose
both

INcontinent
after
the
death
of
Perdicas
,
newes
were
brought
that
Eumenes
had
ouerthrowen
and
slayne
Cratere
and
Neoptolome

:
which
newes
if

of

done
in

)
that

But
after
he
was
dead
,
the

adiudged

But

WHat
time
Antipater

the
Etholians
who
had
leagued
with
Perdicas
warred
on

But
after

suborning
the
men
of

against
him
.
Neuerthelesse
,
although
they
were
as
then
very
mutinous
,
yet
assembled
he
them
,
and
with
fair
and
gracious
woords
so
wanne
their
good
willes
,
that
be
appaysed
that

Euridice

that

desisted
from

This
done
,
he

deuided

And
first
he
leaft
to
Ptolome
the
region
of
Egipt
,
which
he
already
possessed
,
&
the
reason
was
,
bycause
he
knew
not
well
how
to
put
him
besides
it
,
forsomuche
as
Ptolome
thought
that
that
which
he
had
,
he
had
gotten

held
it
by
his

strength
.
To

And
for

:
To

To

the

Alexander
,
he
gaue
the
Paropanisades
.
And
that
parte
of
Inde
which
ioyned
on
the
Paropanisades
,
he
gaue
to
Python
the
sonne
of
Agenor
.
And
the
realmes
thereto
adioyning
he
gaue
to
the
Kings
which
before
enioyed
them
,
to
say
,
those
next
the
riuer
Inde
,
to
Pore
:
and
those
about
the
riuer
Hidaspe
to
Taxille
:
bycause
he
was
not
able
to
expulse
them
without
sending
an
army
royall
and
the
most
of
his
chiefe
and
noble
Captaynes
.
But
touching
the
Prouinces
towardes
the
North
:
To
Nicanor
he
gaue

:
To
Clyte
,
Helie
:
To
Aride
,
the
part
of
Phryge
ioyning
vpon

.
He
farther
constituted
Antigone
Marshall
or
chief
ruler
of
the
army
,
commaunding
him
to
warre
vpon
Eumenes
and
Alcete
.
Neuerthelesse
he
ioyned
with
him
as
a
compaignion
in
the
said
charge
,
Cassander
his
owne
sonne
,
Captayne
of
a
cohort
of
a
thousand
men
,
to
the
end
Antigone
should
enterprise
nothing
to
his
own
particularity
,
but
that
Antipater
would
be
aduertised
therof
.
These
things
finished
,
he
departed
with

to
conduct
the

Antigone
vanquisheth

Citie
of

.
The
.xvij.
Chapter
.
WHen
Antigone
(
as
aforesaid
)
was
nominated
and
appointed
generall
to
go
into
Asie
against
Eumenes
,
and
had
gotten
together
his
men
of
warre
which
lay
in
garrison
,
to
winter
,
and
made
ready
al
things
necessarie
for
warre
,
he
tooke
his
iourney
against
Eumenes
abiding
in
Cappadoce
.
It
fortuned
that
season
that
Perdicas
,
one
of
Eumenes
Captaynes
,
rebelled
&
led
away
.iij.
thousand
footemen
and
.v.
hundred
horse
,
with
whom
he
had
encamped
and
enpalled
in
a
strong
place
thrée
dayes
iourneis
from
him
.
Wherfore
Eumenes
sent
against
him
an
other
of
his
Captaynes
named
Tenede
a
Phenician
,
to
whome
he
deliuered
foure
thousande
footemen
of
the
best
and
most
trained
Souldiers
he
had
,
and
two
thousande
horse
:
who
with
such
diligence
sped
him
,
that
sodenly
about
midnight
,
when
they
were
all
at
rest
and
a
sléepe
,
he
stole
vppon
the
said
rebelles
,
and
tooke
Perdicas
and
brought
him
backe
to
Eumenes
,
together
the
men
of
warre
with
him
,
who
according
to
the
qualitie
of
the
offence
,
punished
the
chiefe
and
principal
procurers
of
that
conspiracy
,
and
deuided
the
rest
by
their
bands
,
reconciling
them
with
giftes
and
faire
promisses
.
In
this
meane
time
had
Antigone
secretly
sent
to
Apollonide
generall
of
Eumenes
,
horse
to
betraie
him
,
whom
at
last
through
large
promisses
he
corrupted
,
promising
that
whensoeuer
they
came
to
battaill
,
he
would
retier
to
Antigone
and
reuolt
from
Eumenes
.
It
happened
that
Eumenes
encamped
in
the
middest
of
a
large
and
great
playne
of
Cappadoce
,
bycause
he
would
be
the
better
ayded
and
succoured
with
his
horse
.
And
Antigone
encamped
at
the
foote
of
the
hill
ioyning
vpon
the
saide
playne
.
Nowe
had
Antigone
in
his
hoste
,
about
ten
thousand
footemen
the
better
halfe
Macedonians
,
notable
and
valiaunt
Souldiers
,
and
in
martiall
factes
greatly
experimented
,
two
thousand
horse
,
and
thirtie
Elephauntes
.
But
Eumenes
had
not
many
lesse
than
twentie
thousand
footemen
,
and
as
many
horsemen
.
Anone
,
they
ioyned
battaill
,
and
whiles
they
were
in
the
chiefe
fight
,
Apollonide
with
his
horse
reuolted
and
turned
to
Antigone
,
who
then
wanne
the
victorie
,
so
that
there
were
slayne
on
Eumenes
parte
,
about
eight
thousande
Souldiers
,
besides
the
rifling
and
spoyling
of
the
Camp
,
which
was
verie
riche
.
Whereupon
Eumenes
his
Souldiers
that
dyd
escape
,
séeing
(
besides
the
losse
of
the
fielde
,
their
friendes
and
compaignions
)
that
they
had
also
lost
their
goodes
,
they
became
verie
desperate
and
out
of
harte
.
When
Eumenes
sée
his
Soldiers
in
this
disorder
,
he
determined
to
flye
towards
Armenie
,
trusting
to
get
certayn
Soldiers
there
which
would
take
his
part
and
helpe
him
.
Agayne
,
séeing
the
enimie
sore
distresse
him
,
and
the
greater
numbre
of
his
Souldiers
yeld
to
Antigone
,
he
retired
into
a
litle
strong
Towne
called
Nore
,
Nore
.
situate
on
a
rocke
,
and
not
aboue
two
furlongs
compasse
.
But
by
reason
of
the
strength
of
the
seat
,
and
the
fortification
and
strong
buylding
thereof
,
it
was
of
maruelous
strength
and
force
,
and
had
bene
of
long
furnished
with
all
things
necessarie
to
abide
a
siege
.
Into
the
same
Towne
retired
Eumenes
with
fiue
hundred
Souldiers
,
which
dearly
loued
him
,
all
determined
to
spill
their
blouds
in
his
seruice
.
When
Antigone
sée
his
power
waxe
strong
,
by
reason
of
Eumenes
Souldiers
,
which
daylie
repaired
to
him
,
and
that
he
had
wonne
his
Countreys
,
and
exacted
on
them
great
stoare
of
money
,
he
reuolued
in
his
minde
many
notable
and
worthy
enterprises
,
séeing
right
well
that
none
of
the
Satrapies
nor
Captaynes
of
Asie
,
were
able
to
contend
against
him
for
the
Principality
.
Notwithstanding
,
he
all
that
while
dissimuled
the
matter
vntill
he
had
well
assured
all
his
affayres
with
Antipater
whome
he
serued
and
obeyed
:
but
his
meaning
was
,
that
after
he
had
taken
order
&
gone
through
with
that
businesse
according
to
his
promisse
&
allegeance
,
then
neyther
to
be
subiect
to
him
or
the
Kings
.
But
first
he
besieged
Eumenes
&
his
people
within
the
towne
of
Nore
,
&
enuironed
it
with
a
double
wall
,
great
ditches
and
déepe
trenches
.
After
that
he
parled
with
Eumenes
,
to
whome
he
began
to
recompt
the
olde
acquaintaunce
and
great
amitie
betwéene
them
of
long
had
:
persuading
him
to
ioyne
with
him
in
all
his
affaires
&
businesse
.
But
Eumenes
(
allthough
he
sée
the
sodayne
chaunging
and
alteration
of
his
fortune
)
demaunded
greater
and
larger
requests
than
the
daunger
or
necessity
of
the
place
required
or
deserued
.
For
first
he
asked
pardon
of
all
he
had
perpetrated
and
done
:
agayne
he
would
that
those
Satrapies
which
he
before
held
and
enioyed
,
should
be
restored
vnto
him
.
Whom
Antigone
aunswered
,
that
he
would
aduertise
Antipater
of
those
his
demaundes
.
But
after
he
sée
he
could
not
win
him
to
be
of
his
faction
,
he
left
behind
him
at
the
siege
such
a
numbre
of
Souldiers
as
he
thought
would
suffise
,
and
him self
went
against
Alcete
and
Attale
.
During
whiche
time
Eumenes
sent
his
Ambassadoures
to
Antipater
,
among
whom
Ierome
(
who
writ
the
histories
of
the
successours
of
Alexander
)
was
chiefest
.
Ierome
the
Historian
.
And
although
Eumenes
sée
him selfe
in
this
miserie
and
so
distressed
:
yet
would
not
his
hart
yeld
,
for
he
had
experimented
so
many
chaunges
of
fortune
,
that
still
he
hoped
out
of
hande
to
sée
an
other
chaunge
to
his
great
aduauncement
and
honour
.
For
he
considered
that
the
Kings
had
no
more
but
the
title
&
name
only
,
and
the
many
noble
&
mighty
Princes
which
there
gouerned
,
always
considered
&
regarded
their
priuate
and
singular
honor
and
estate
royall
,
for
the
vsurpation
of
the
whole
regiment
and
principalitie
.
Wherefore
he
thought
(
&
he
was
therin
not
deceyued
)
that
many
of
those
Princes
shoulde
haue
great
néed
of
him
,
bycause
he
was
not
only
a
man
of
great
wisedome
and
vertue
,
and
notably
experimented
in
martiall
pollicies
,
but
also
faithfull
and
constant
.
And
as
he
thus
lay
attending
the
occasion
and
oportunitie
of
time
,
and
séeing
he
could
not
exercise
his
horses
by
reason
of
the
straightnesse
of
the
place
,
he
bethought
him
of
a
new
kinde
and
fashion
of
exercise
,
to
the
end
they
should
not
be
vnbreathed
with
still
lying
.
First
,
he
caused
their
forepartes
to
be
tied
vp
with
yron
chaynes
so
hye
,
that
the
horses
(
do
what
they
could
)
were
not
able
to
touch
the
planks
with
the
tippe
of
their
houes
before
,
whereupon
they
striuing
to
set
their
fore
féete
on
the
planchers
,
aswell
as
their
hindre
féete
,
laboured
so
sore
,
that
they
were
dryuen
into
a
watery
sweat
,
by
which
deuise
they
were
alwayes
in
breath
,
able
to
trauail
,
and
yet
neuer
come
out
of
the
stable
.
He
also
made
such
deuision
of
his
victuals
amongs
the
Souldiers
,
that
euery
man
had
as
great
portion
as
him selfe
,
or
rather
a
greater
,
so
that
he
still
wanne
their
good
wills
and
fauour
.
In
this
estate
were
Eumenes
and
his
men
.

Antigone
had
vanquished

he
beganne
to

,
whome
Perdicas
(
in
his
life
)
amongs
all
the
Chieftaynes
and
Captaynes
in
his
army
most
honoured
and
estéemed
:

of
them
hauing
an
armie
Ryall
,
able
so
make
warre
and
fight
for
the
principalitie
and
gouernement
.
And
first
he
marched
with
his
armie
into
Piside
,
where
Alcete
,
Attale
,
and
their
Souldiers
were
res●
a●nt
:
and
contending
to
come
thether
with
spéede
,
he
with
his
armie
in
seuen
dayes
had
trauelled
two
thousand
fiue
hundred
Furlongs
,
and
gotten
to
the
Citie
of
Crete
,
where
(
through
his
expedition
)
he
tooke
and
furnished
certayn
straight
passages
and
mountaynes
néere
adioyning
,
before
Alcete
knew
it
.
But
as
soone
as
Alcete
and
Attale
knew
and
vnderstood
thereof
,
they
arranged
their
battaill
of
footemen
,
and
with
their
horse
charged
those
whiche
had
wonne
the
hye
passages
,
thinking
to
repulse
them
.
Whervpon
the
skirmish
waxing
very
boat
and
cruell
,
with
maruellous
great
slaughter
on
eyther
side
,
Antigone
with
sixe
thousand
horse
,
violently
and
with
great
force
,
spedde
him
against
the
Phalange
of
the
●
nimy
,
thinking
to
enterclude
Alcete
from
his
footemen
.
Whiche
done
,
they
in
the
mountaynes
(
by
reason
of
their
great
numbre
and
difficultie
of
the
places
)
clerely
repulsed
Alcete
.
But
in
the
retier
,
when
Alcete
sée
they
were
cut
of
from
their
footemen
,
and
encompassed
with
the
multitude
of
enimies
,
he
then
looked
for
none
other
but
present
death
.
And
although
the
matter
stoode
vpon
this
tickle
and
dangerous
point
,
yet
at
last
with
the
losse
of
many
Souldiers
,
he
got
and
recouered
to
the
battaill
of
footemen
.
Howbeit
Antigone
with
his
mighty
Elephauntes
and
army
marching
against
them
in
order
of
battaill
,
greatly
amazed
them
,
being
farre
the
weaker
.
For
Alcete
had
not
in
all
the
world
aboue
.xvj.
thousande
footemen
and
nine
hundred
horsemen
,
and
Antigone
ouer
and
besides
his
Elephants
,
had
aboue
fortie
thousand
footemen
and
eight
thousand
horsemen
.
Wherfore
when
the
Phalange
of
Alcete
sée
the
Elephants
marche
towardes
them
in
the
front
or
voward
,
and
the
horse
by
reason
of
the
great
numbre
enuiron

,
and
that
the
footemen
in
a
maine
battaill
marched
also
against
them
,
being
the
greater
numbre
and
valiaunter
Souldiers
,
they
were
therewith
greatly
astonned
,
and
the
rather
bycause
of
the
place
of
aduauntage
whiche
the
enimy
had
wonne
,
and
the
thing
done
vpon
such
a
sodaine
,
that
their
Captaynes
and
Leaders
had
no
leysure
to
arrange
their
battaill

Wherefore
they
fledde
,
in
which
flight
were
taken
Attale

But

waged
,
fledde
into
a
Citie
of
Piside
named
Thormese
.
Thormese
.
When
Antigone
had
won
this
victorie
,
he
pardoned
and
forgaue
all
Alcete
his
men
of
warre
whiche
were
left
,
and
deuided
them
amongs
his
bandes
.
But
the
Pisides
whiche
escaped
with
Alcete
to
the
numbre
of
sixe
thousande
,
prayed
him
not
to
be
discouraged
nor
dismayed
,
promising
him
that
they
woulde
liue
and
dye
with
him
.
For
they
all
which
were
with
him
,
singularly
well
loued
him
,
bycause
that
he
after
Perdicas
his
death
,
hauing
no
trustie
Companions
or
allies
in
all
the
Countrey
of
Asie
,
determined
by
gifts
and
curtesie
to
drawe
the
Pisides
to
his
friendship
,
thinking
thereby
to
get
a
warlike
nation
to
be
at
his
commaundement
,
and
a
countrey
very
strong
and
hard
to
be
entred
,
being
full
of
many
inuincible
castles
and
fortes
.
For
this
cause
in
al
his
warres
honored
he
them
more
than
the
rest
:
and
of
euery
spoyle
and
butin
which
he
got
of
any
enimies
,
the
moetie
he
gaue
to
them
.
He
was
very
familiar
amongs
them
,
dayly
inuiting
of
the
chief
and
principall
to
dynner
or
supper
,
sometime
one
,
other
while
an
other
:
rewarding
them
also
particularly
with
diuerse
and
many
gifts
,
as
those
in
whose
friendship
and
alliaunce
he
reposed
his
finall
trust
and
confidence
:
wherein
he
was
nothing
at
all
deceyued
,
as
then
appeared
.
For
as
Antigone
with
his
whole
power
encamped
before
the
towne
,
and
demaunded
nothing
else
but
Alcete
,
notwithstanding
that
the
auncient
Burgesses
of
the
Citie
were
of
one
determinate
minde
to
deliuer
him
,
yet
the
lustie
yong
gallaunts
and
Souldiers
,
against
the
willes
and
minds
of
their
owne
fathers
,
concluded
and
agréed
rather
than
to
render
so
noble
and
worthy
a
man
of
warre
,
to
abide
and
sustayne
all
mischiefs
and
daungers
whatsoeuer
.
But
when
the
auncient
Burgesses
sée
that
neyther
counsaill
,
or
reason
,
could
persuade
to
the
contrary
,
they
practised
an
other
deuise
.
Wherefore
they
secretly
in
the
night
aduertised
Antigone
by
their
intelligencers
,
that
they
would
deliuer
Alcete
alyue
or
dead
.
For
accomplishing
wherof
they
willed
him
after
a
while
to
approch
the
town
and
make
some
skirmishes
and
false
Alarmes
,
and
sodenly
to
retier
as
though
they
fled
,
which
woulde
be
a
meane
to
cause
all
the
lusty
young
Gallaunts
and
Souldiers
to
sally
out
vpon
them
,
so
that
they
being
in
the
skirmishe
busied
,
the
rest
within
would
assault
Alcete
,
being
disfurnished
of
his
said
companions
,
and
with
ease
take
him
.
Whiche
thing
according
to
their
demaund
and
request
,
Antigone
performed
.
For
while
the
yong
and
lusty
Souldiers
were
salied
out
of
the
towne
to
skyrmish
and
chase
the
enimy
:
the
old
men
with
their
sclaues
and
other
lustie
fellowes
(
no
men
of
warre
)
assailed
Alcete
in
his
lodging
:
but
alyue
they
could
not
get
him
.
For
he
séeing
the
present
daunger
wherin
he
was
,
kild
him selfe
,
rather
than
he
would
be
rendred
aliue
to
the
enimy
.
Notwithstanding
,
they
layd
him
dead
on
a
beare
couered
ouer
with
a
most
vile
robe
,
&
so
carried
him
through
the
gates
of
the
towne
to
Antigone
,
before
the
yong
blouds
in
the
skirmish
knew
of
it
.
By
this
meane
the
auncient
Citizens
saued
their
Citie
from
desolation
and
spoyle
.
But
after
the
Souldiers
vnderstood
thereof
,
they
(
for
the
great
loue
they
bare
him
)
were
so
agréeued
and
angry
,
that
they
kept
one
parte
of
the
towne
and
held
a
counsaill
,
wherein
they
first
concluded
and
agréed
to
set
fier
on
the
towne
,
and
after
to
gette
them
out
in
armes
to
pille
and
destroye
Antigone
his
countreis
hard
adioyning
to
the
foote
of
the
Mountaynes
.
Howbeit
,
after
they
tooke
better
aduise
than
to
burne
the
towne
,
but
gotte
them
out
in
armes
wasting
and
spoyling
the
greatest
parte
of
the
playne
countrey
of
the
enimy
.
After
Antigone
had
gotten
Alcete
his
body
,
he
dyd
him
all
the
opprobries
he
knewe
or
could
deuise
,
and
in
the
ende
of
thrée
dayes
after
,
it
began
to
corrupt
,
he
threw
it
into
the
fields
without
buriall
,
and
so
departed
from
Piside
.
Howbeit
,
the
lustie
yong
Gallaunts
of
Thormese
tooke
him
vp
and
honorably
enterred
the
dead
.
Whereby
may
be
apperceyued
that
the
curtesie
and
pleasure
which
men
do
one
to
an
other
,
engendreth
in
them
whiche
receyue
it
,
an
indissoluble
bond
of
loue
and
amitie
.

After

Kings
,
and

The
.xx.
Chapter
.
WHat
time
Antigone
departed
from
Piside
,
he
with
his
armie
trauailled
into
Phrigie
.
And
as
he
laye
to
repose
him
in
the
Citie
of
Crete
,
there
came
to
him
Aristodeme
the
Milesian
,
Aristodeme
.
aduertising
him
of
the
death
of
Antipater
,
and
farther
declaring
that
the
Empire
and
gouernement
of
the
Kings
was
gyuen
to
Polispercon
the
Macedonian
.
Of
which
newes
Antigone
was
right
ioyous
,
determining
now
to
establishe
him selfe
Lord
&
Seigniour
of
al
Asie
.
But
for
a
while
we
will
omit
speaking
of
him
,
&
make
report
of
al
things
which
were
done
in
Asie
.
It
happened
at
that
season
,
that
Antipater
fell
into
a
gréeuous
disease
,
and
in
déed
waxed
so
sicke
,
that
(
by
reason
of
his
great
age
)
all
men
thought
it
impossible
for
him
to
escape
the
danger
:
wherefore
the
Athenians
thinking
Demades
Demades
.
the
notable
Orator
a
méete
and
necessary
man
for
such
a
charge
,
sent
him
in
an
Ambassade
to
Antipater
,
to
require
him
that
he
(
according
to
his
former
promisse
)
should
call
home
his
garrisons
from
the
towne
of
Munichie
.
Munychie
.
And
although
Antipater
had
before
tyme
very
well
loued
Demades
,
notwithstanding
after
the
death
of
Perdicas
,
such
letters
were
found
in
Demades
his
chest
,
writen
with
his
owne
hand
to
the
Kings
,
in
which
he
exhorted
Perdicas
to
passe
into
Europe
against
Antipater
,
that
Antipater
was
maruelously
despited
therewith
.
Neuerthelesse
,
he
dissimuled
his
grudge
and
anger
.
But
Demades
with
arrogant
language
and
threatning
words
so
stil
pursued
and
declared
his
Ambassade
,
that
Antipater
without
aunswere
caused
him
and
his
sonne
ioint
Ambassadours
in
the
same
Ambassade
to
be
apprehended
,
and
forthwith
committed
them
to
the
rulers
and
gouernours
,
who
immediatly
sent
them
to
prison
,
and
after
put
them
to
death
.
Not
long
after
when
Antipater
perceyued
he
could
not
escape
death
,
he
nominated
and
appointed
Polispercon
gouernour
of
the
Kings
,
Polispercon
.
&
chief
of
all
the
whole
power
,
bycause
he
was
the
auncientest
Chie
●
ayne
that
had
serued
with
Alexander
,
and
of
all
the
Macedonians
had
in
great
honour
.
He
ordeyned
also
Cassander
his
sonne
Chiliarque
or
Captayn
of
a
thousand
men
,
and
next
in
authoritie
.
Cassander
.
The
same
order
of
Chiliarque
was
first
erected
by
the
Kings
of
Persie
,
&
after
continued
&
maintayned
by
Alexander
,
and
therfore
dyd
Antipater
long
before
he
dyed
,
giue
the
said
office
to
Cassander
his
sonne
when
he
was
yet
very
yong
.
Neuerthelesse
,
after
the
death
of
his
father
,
he
liked
not
his
constitution
and
ordinaunce
,
but
thought
he
had
done
him
great
iniurie
and
wrong
to
preferre
Polispercon
to
the
Empire
before
him selfe
being
his
child
,
&
not
of
so
néere
alliaunce
as
he
,
knowing
also
that
he
was
both
able
and
sufficient
to
gouerne
the
Realme
:
as
by
experience
ynough
both
of
his
valiantnesse
and
wisedome
he
had
before
séene
and
well
appeared
.
Wherfore
ryding
abroad
in
the
countrey
with
certayn
his
friends
,
he
deuised
with
them
at
his
leysure
touching
the
Empire
and
gouernement
,
and
seducing
euery
of
them
,
moued
them
to
take
his
parte
and
ayde
him
with
their
power
,
for
the
attayning
of
the
principalitie
,
promising
them
in
their
so
doing
,
large
and
honorable
rewarde
.
He
sent
also
his
Ambassadoures
to
Ptolome
,
to
renue
and
confirme
the
old
amitie
and
friendship
lately
had
betwéene
him
and
his
father
Antipater
,
praying
his
ayde
also
in
the
same
warre
,
and
to
send
him
out
of
hande
his
Nauie
from
Phenice
into
Hellespont
.
He
likewise
sent
messangers
to
other
nobles
,
Captaynes
,
and
cities
,
to
be
confederate
with
him
in
the
same
matter
.
And
during
the
time
of
this
practise
,
to
put
him selfe
out
of
suspicion
of
this
conspiracy
and
treason
,
he
made
semblaunt
as
though
he
cared
for
none
other
thing
but
hunting
,
and
such
like
disports
.
In
this
meane
while
Polispercon
Gouernour
of
the
Kings
,
by
the
aduise
and
cousaill
of
his
friends
,
sent
to
Olympias
Alexander
his
mother
,
praying
hir
to
repaire
into
Macedone
,
&
to
take
vpon
hir
the
gouernement
of
yong
Alexander
hir
sons
sonne
.
For
Olympias
by
reason
of
the
discord
&
enmitie
betwéene
hir
&
Antipater
,
had
long
before
gotten
into
Epire
,
&
there
continued
.
In
this
state
stood
the
affaires
of
Macedon
.
¶
Antigone
vnderstanding
of
Antipater
his
death
,
taketh
vpon
him
the
gouernement
of
the
Empire
of
Asie
,
and
sendeth
to
Eumenes
desiering
his
returne
.
The
.xxj.
Chapter
.
AFter
it
was
diuulged
in
Asie
that
Antipater
was
dead
,
the
people
began
to
studie
and
muse
of
straunge
and
new
deuises
,
and
chiefly
suche
as
gouerned
vnder
him
were
in
doubt
what
to
do
.
But
amongs
others●
when
Antigone
was
nominated
and
proclamed
Emperour
of
Asie
,
and
had
greatly
encreased
the
othe
deliuered
him
by
Antipater
,
through
the
subduing
of
Eumenes
,
Alcete
and
Attale
,
he
became
after
so
many
victories
so
proude
and
arrogant
,
that
he
persuaded
him selfe
with
ease
to
enioy
the
gouernement
ouer
all
the
rest
,
and
not
to
be
subiect
to
the
Gouernours
.
He
agayne
thought
(
considering
his
power
which
was
at
least
.lx.
thousande
footemen
,
ten
thousande
horse
,
and
thirtie
Elephaunts
)
he
might
reare
of
all
the
treasure
in
Asie
,
for
that
there
was
none
able
to
resist
him
,
and
hoped
for
his
mony
to
leuie
in
Asie
a
numbre
of
hiered
soldiers
to
augment
his
armie
.
And
dwelling
in
these
ymaginations
and
deuises
,
he
sent
for
Ierome
the
Historian
,
a
friend
&
familiar
of
Eumenes
Cardian
,
who
lay
besieged
in
the
towne
of
Nore
aforesaid
,
whom
he
with
large
promisses
sent
towards
Eumenes
to
persuade
him
to
forget
the
battaill
and
conflict
betwixt
them
in
Cappadoce
,
and
to
ioyne
with
him
as
his
allie
and
companion
,
whiche
if
he
woulde
do
,
he
promised
honorably
to
reward
him
,
and
to
bestowe
on
him
greater
Satrapies
and
dominions
than
euer
before
he
had
,
and
to
hold
him
as
his
most
deare
friend
,
and
neuer
to
enterprise
or
do
any
thing
,
but
that
he
shoulde
be
priuie
of
.
After
Antigone
had
thus
done
he
assembled
his
friends
,
declaring
to
them
his
meaning
and
purpose
,
and
entred
them
in
a
booke
,
in
whiche
he
made
to
some
a
diuision
of
certain
Satrapies
,
and
gaue
to
other
the
charge
and
leading
of
Souldiers
,
so
that
in
déede
they
all
greatly
hoped
to
be
both
honorable
and
rich
,
and
were
thereby
in
all
his
attemptes
&
seruices
the
rather
encouraged
to
serue
him
.
For
he
determined
wholly
to
subdue
and
conquere
Asie
,
and
to
expulse
al
the
Satrapies
,
and
in
their
steades
to
place
his
familier
and
trustie
friends
.
¶
Aride
is
repulsed
from
the
siege
of
the
Citie
of
Cizice
.
The
.xxij.
Chapter
.
AS
Antigone
was
thus
occupied
,
Aride
gouernour
of
Phrigie
about
Hellespont
(
doubting
the
enterprise
of
Antigone
)
determined
to
fortifie
and
furnish
his
principall
Cities
and
townes
.
And
bycause
the
Citie
of
Cizice
was
verie
strong
and
méete
for
the
warres
,
he
incontinent
went
thether
,
accompanied
with
.x.
thousand
Mercenaries
,
a
thousand
Macedonians
,
fiue
hundred
Persian
shot
,
and
viij
.
hundred
horse
.
He
was
farther
well
prouided
and
furnished
of
all
maner
of
weapon
both
great
&
small
,
engines
also
to
shoote
great
stoanes
,
and
pieces
of
wood
,
and
all
other
things
méete
and
necessarie
to
maintayne
a
siege
.
So
he
sodenly
came
vpon
them
,
and
on
the
waye
he
tooke
vp
a
great
numbre
of
the
Citizens
whiche
were
dispersed
abroad
in
the
countrey
:
and
after
besieged
the
towne
,
and
would
néeds
enforce
the
sillie
besiegeaunts
to
receyue
and
take
in
his
garrisons
.
And
although
they
were
vnprouided
of
men
and
all
other
things
necessarie
to
holde
out
the
enimie
,
yet
determined
they
to
defend
their
libertie
.
Notwithstanding
they
sent
first
their
Ambassadoures
to
Aride
,
praying
him
to
rayse
his
siege
,
saying
they
were
all
at
his
commaundement
to
do
whatsoeuer
he
woulde
,
except
the
receyuing
of
men
into
garrison
.
But
in
the
meane
time
they
secretly
armed
all
their
yong
and
lustie
fellowes
to
man
the
wall
and
curten
.
And
when
they
sée
Aride
still
vrge
them
to
receyue
his
garrisons
:
they
aunswered
,
they
would
comprimit
the
matter
to
the
deliberation
of
the
communaltie
,
and
for
dispatch
thereof
demaunded
truce
for
the
next
day
and
night
following
,
which
was
graunted
:
and
in
the
meane
while
made
they
greater
preparation
for
their
defence
.
When
Aride
sée
he
was
thus
deceyued
and
mocked
,
he
lost
both
oportunitie
&
hope
for
winning
the
Citie
,
bycause
it
was
verie
strong
,
both
towardes
the
Sea
and
lande
,
standing
almost
like
an
Island
within
the
Sea
,
and
but
one
way
to
enter
by
lande
,
and
that
parte
towardes
the
Sea
very
strong
,
bycause
Aride
had
there
no
ships
.
They
sent
also
by
Sea
to
the
Bizancians
for
men
,
armoure
,
and
all
other
things
necessarie
to
holde
out
the
siege
,
which
they
incontinent
sent
,
whereupon
they
were
greatly
assured
,
and
tooke
meruailous
courage
to
defende
their
Citie
.
Farther
,
they
sent
out
their
gallies
alongest
the
shoare
to
gather
together
their
people
which
were
dispersed
in
the
countrey

AS
Antigone
abode
in
the
Citie
of
Celene
,
he
was
aduertised
of
the
siege
of
Cizice
,
wherefore
he
thought
(
if
he
sent
towards
them
spéedy
ayde
and
succoure
in
their
distresse
)
that
it
woulde
be
a
good
occasion
for
him
,
to
winne
the
said
Citie
to
be
his
friend
and
confederat
.
For
which
cause
he
chose
out
of
the
whole
armie
.xx.
thousand
of
his
most
warlike
Souldiers
,
and
.iij.
thousande
horse
,
and
in
his
owne
person
spéedely
marched
to
aide
the
Cizicians
:
And
although
the
siege
was
raised
before
his
comming
,
yet
euer
after
they
became
and
remayned
his
most
bounden
friends
.
Notwithstanding
,
he
sent
his
Ambassadours
towards
Aride
,
declaring
to
him
that
he
had
done
verie
yll
to
besiege
a
frée
Citie
of
Grece
,
and
friend
to
the
Macedonians
:
considering
the
people
thereof
had
in
nothing
abused
him
,
and
that
he
had
shewed
inough
to
make
him selfe
of
a
Deputie
and
Gouernour
a
Potentate
and
commaunder
,
commaunding
him
therefore
to
gyue
ouer
his
said
Satrapie
,
and
for
his
habitation
to
betake
him
to
one
onely
Citie
.
When
Aride
vnderstoode
the
charge
of
the
Ambassadours
,
he
greatly
detesting
the
arrogancie
of
Antigone
,
aunswered
,
that
he
was
not
as
yet
determined
to
leaue
his
Satrapie
,
but
to
kéepe
and
defend
it
:
and
if
Antigone
would
come
to
expulse
him
,
he
should
then
sée
whether
of
them
had
the
better
right
.
After
the
Ambassadours
had
receyued
this
answere
and
were
departed
,
he
soone
after
fortified
and
furnished
his
Cities
and
townes
.
He
also
sent
to
Nore
a
bande
of
Souldiers
,
to
Eumenes
vnder
the
leading
of
one
of
his
owne
Captaynes
,
thinking
therby
to
winne
his
fauoure
and
be
his
confederate
.
When
Antigone
had
receyued
aunswere
from
Aride
,
he
sent
one
half
of
his
army
against
him
,
and
him selfe
with
the
rest
,
trauailed
into
Lydie
to
chase
out
Clyte
Gouernour
thereof
.
But
so
soone
as
Clyte
vnderstood
the
cause
,
he
garrisoned
his
Cities
,
and
made
as
good
prouision
against
him
as
he
could
.
That
done
,
he
immediatly
went
to
Sea
,
and
transfreted
into
Macedone
,
signifying
to
the
Kings
,
the
boldnesse
of
Antigone
,
&
saied
that
he
went
about
to
aduaunce
him selfe
to
some
high
and
honorable
estate
,
and
to
rebell
against
them
:
praying
therefore
aide
for
the
repressing
of
him
.
In
the
meane
time
Antigone
by
the
intelligence
of
certain
citisens
,
tooke
at
his
first
comming
the
Citie
of
Ephese
.
But
after
he
vnderstood
that
Eschil
the
Rhodian
was
there
arriued
,
Eschilus
.
and
would
for
the
behoue
of
the
Kings
carrie
out
of
Cilice
into
Macedon
,
in
foure
shippes
,
sixe
hundred
Talents
:
he
intercepted
them
and
tooke
it
away
,
saying
that
he
had
great
néed
thereof
for
the
wageing
of
his
mercenaries
:
which
déede
imported
that
he
ment
to
establishe
him selfe
some
great
Prince
and
to
warre
vppon
the
kings
.
When
he
had
this
done
,
he
went
against
the
other
Cities
of
Asie
,
and
by
violence
and
practise
brought
many
vnder
his
subiection
.

his
deliueraunce
from
the
siege
of

.
The

Chapter
.
WE
will
here
leaue
a
while
to
speake
of
Antigone
,
and
returne
to
Eumenes
,
who
(
besides
many
and
diuerse
mishaps
)
had
also
ben
in
sundrie
aduentures
,
both
good
and
bad
:
for
after
the
death
of
Alexander
,
he
still
tooke
part
with
Perdicas
,
who
gaue
him
the
Satrapie
of
Cappadoce
and
the
countreys
thereto
adioyning
,
in
which
he
had
assembled
and
gotte
together
numbres
of
men
of
warre
and
great
summes
of
money
,
getting
thereby
great
renoume
,
alway
liuing
in
prosperitie
and
felicitie
.
He
in
battail
vanquished
and
killed
Cratere
and
Neoptolome
:
two
of
the
most
renowmed
Captaynes
amongst
all
the
Macedonians
,
and
all
the
Souldiers
whiche
serued
vnder
them
,
which
had
ben
continuall
victors
where
euer
they
became
.
But
when
he
thought
him selfe
most
puyssaunt
,
and
none
able
to
resist
him
,
he
was
by
Antigone
in
battaill
sodenly
vanquished
and
constrained
to
flie
and
retier
with
a
fewe
of
his
friends
into
a
litle
towne
&
castle
:
where
being
besieged
and
enclosed
with
a
double
trenche
,
could
not
in
one
whole
yeare
be
aided
to
raise
the
siege
.
Howbeit
,
about
the
yeares
end
,
when
he
was
almost
out
of
hope
&
in
despaire
,
sodenly
came
vnto
him
present
remedie
:
For
Antigone
(
who
still
helde
him
besieged
,
hauing
altered
his
determination
and
purpose
,
sent
to
him
,
requiring
his
friendship
&
companie
:
and
after
he
had
taken
his
othe
and
faith
,
he
deliuered
him
of
the
siege
.
Who
departing
thence
,
trauailed
into
Cappadoce
:
and
being
there
but
a
short
time
,
assembled
the
Souldiers
lately
vnder
his
charge
dispersed
through
the
said
countrey
:
and
by
reason
of
the
earnest
zeale
and
loue
they
had
to
him
,
he
had
gotten
together
in
a
little
whyle
,
a
great
numbre
at
his
commaundement
.
For
ouer
and
besides
the
six
hundred
whiche
were
with
him
during
the
siege
,
he
had
gotten
aboue
two
thousand
other
souldiers
,
and
in
the
ende
came
to
great
authoritie
:
for
he
was
made
Generall
of
the
armie
Royall
,
to
warre
vppon
those
whiche
rebelled
against
the
Kings
,
as
hereafter
shal
be
declared
.
But
at
this
present
we
meane
to
leaue
speaking
of
the
matter
in
Asie
,
and
make
mencion
of
those
which
happened
in
Europe
.
¶
Cassander
sheweth
him selfe
enimie
to
Polispercon
,
and
getteth
to
his
alliaunce
many
of
the
Satrapes
.
Polispercon
by
an
edict
royall
restoreth
the
Cities
of
Grece
into
their
auncient
libertie
.
The
.xxv.
Chapter
.
WHen
Cassander
(
of
whome
we
haue
before
spoken
)
of
him self
put
from
the
Empire
&
gouernement
of
Macedone
,
kept
not
his
desire
longer
vndiscouered
,
but
purposed
by
violence
to
obtayne
&
recouer
the
said
gouernement
:
thinking
it
a
great
dishonor
to
suffer
any
other
than
him selfe
,
to
haue
the
rule
and
authoritie
which
his
father
held
&
enioyed
.
But
apperceyuing
that
the
Macedonians
in
generall
were
prompt
and
ready
at
Polispercon
his
commaundement
,
and
tooke
his
parte
,
he
secretly
beganne
to
discouer
his
intention
to
his
trustie
friends
,
and
vnder
a
colour
made
them
go
towards
Hellespont
occupying
him selfe
many
dayes
in
the
countrey
in
chasing
and
hunting
,
to
the
ende
his
people
should
beleue
and
thinke
that
he
forced
not
of
any
hie
enterprises
or
princelie
gouernement
.
But
after
he
had
dispatched
&
put
al
things
in
a
readinesse
,
he
secretly
departed
&
went
towards
Hellespont
,
sending
forthwith
to
Antigone
,
praying
his
aide
,
&
aduertising
him
that
Ptolome
had
promised
the
like
.
Whereunto
Antigone
accorded
,
and
promised
to
send
out
of
hand
both
Souldiers
and
shippes
.
This
friendship
fained
he
to
doe
,
for
the
great
loue
he
had
alwayes
borne
to
Antipater
his
father
,
but
truth
is
,
he
ment
none
other
thing
but
to
trouble
Polispercon
in
his
warres
and
affaires
:
to
the
ende
that
while
those
matters
were
in
deciding
,
he
might
seaze
on
the
whole
countrey
of
Asie
:
and
after
attayne
to
the
Empire
of
Macedone
.
When
Polispercon
had
séene
the
sodayne
departure
of
Cassander
,
he
knew
he
meant
to
worke
him
great
trouble
and
mischief
:
wherfore
he
did
nothing
without
great
aduise
of
his
friends
and
the
chief
of
Macedone
,
declaring
vnto
them
,
that
he
clerely
see
the
Antigone
would
ayde
Cassander
,
and
by
that
meane
should
win
the
Cities
of
Grece
,
bycause
that
diuerse
of
them
were
guarded
by
the
seruitours
of
his
father
,
and
the
rest
gouerned
by
some
of
the
Citizens
whome
his
said
father
had
deputed
gouernours
,
and
had
alwayes
supported
them
.
He
sée
also
that
Ptolome
gouernour
of
Egipt
,
and
Antigone
,
who
apparauntly
had
alreadie
withdrawne
him
from
the
obeysaunce
of
the
Kings
,
would
ayde
him
,
eyther
of
them
hauing
an
huge
and
mightie
hoste
,
great
stoare
of
treasure
,
and
held
vnder
their
obeysance
great
countreys
and
prouinces
.
When
they
had
at
large
consulted
on
these
matters
,
and
that
euery
man
had
said
his
opinion
,
he
was
finally
resolued
to
restore
the
Cities
of
Grece
into
their
popular
gouernaunce
and
libertie
,
thereby
to
depose
the
Tyraunts
and
Gouernours
assigned
by
Antipater
.
For
the
Macedonians
thought
by
that
meane
to
diminishe
and
abate
the
power
of
Cassander
,
and
that
the
Kings
and
Polispercon
shoulde
winne
great
honor
and
renowne
,
together
the
friendship
of
al
the
Cities
who
greatly
might
helpe
them
with
their
seruice
.
Whereupon
they
sent
out
commaundements
to
all
the
cities
,
that
they
shoulde
sende
their
Ambassadoures
to
the
Kings
:
which
they
did
.
And
when
they
were
al
assembled
,
it
was
by
the
kings
declared
and
signified
to
them
,
that
they
should
be
of
good
courage
,
and
haue
an
assured
hope
and
confidence
that
they
would
restore
them
to
their
auncient
libertie
and
popular
gouernement
:
deliuering
forthwith
in
writing
the
decrée
of
the
saide
deliberation
to
be
carried
and
published
without
delaye
vnto
the
Cities
:
to
the
ende
they
should
know
the
liberalitie
and
franknesse
of
the
said
Kings
and
Macedonians
towards
them
.
The
contents
and
effect
of
which
decrée
was
written
in
Greke
as
followeth
.
Forasmuch
as
our
noble
Progenitours
haue
in
times
past
greatly
pleasured
&
gratified
the
Grecians
:
The
substance
of
the
Decree
.
We
therefore
pursuing
&
following
their
institution
and
ordinance
therein
,
doe
declare
and
pronounce
to
all
people
the
loue
and
good
will
we
beare
towards
the
Grekes
.
Wherefore
,
since
the
death
of
Alexander
●
and
that
the
realmes
came
to
our
possession
and
gouernaunce
,
thinking
that
they
are
all
determined
to
peace
and
quietnesse
,
and
also
contented
to
stand
to
the
institutions
and
ordinaunces
concerning
the
weale
publique
established
by
Phillip
our
noble
parent
,
we
haue
herein
addressed
our
letters
to
all
the
saide
Cities
.
But
bicause
of
our
absence
in
farre
countreys
some
of
the
said
Grekes
,
not
rightly
vnderstanding
our
meaning
and
intencion
,
making
warre
vpon
the
Macedonians
:
certain
of
them
chaunted
to
be
vanquished
by
our
Captaynes
and
Chieftaynes
of
warre
,
wherby
many
inconueniences
ensued
to
some
of
their
Cities
:
which
troubles
and
misfortunes
ought
to
be
imputed
to
the
fault
and
negligence
of
our
said
Captaynes
.
Wherefore
we
,
for
our
partes
considering
the
auncient
amitie
and
beneuolence
of
our
Auncestors
towardes
you
and
yours
,
are
desirous
and
by
vertue
of
this
decrée
do
graunt
you
peace
,
and
farther
doe
remit
&
restore
you
into
that
libertie
and
Ciuile
gouernement
which
you
heretofore
haue
had
vnder
Philip
and
Alexander
:
and
that
all
you
and
euery
of
you
,
do
gouerne
according
to
the
ordinaunces
first
by
them
to
you
graunted
:
we
wil
also
,
that
all
those
whiche
were
banished
and
expulsed
the
Cities
by
our
Lieutenaunts
and
Chieftaynes
of
war
,
since
Alexander
passed
into
Asie
,
be
called
home
,
and
being
so
called
and
come
agayne
,
will
by
these
presents
,
that
they
recouer
and
enioye
all
their
goods
,
and
euer
hereafter
to
lyue
peaceably
without
sedition
in
their
countrey
,
forgetting
all
iniuries
and
wrongs
done
and
passe
,
and
be
partakers
of
the
honors
and
ciuilities
of
their
Cities
,
aswell
as
any
other
.
And
that
all
decrées
and
sentences
made
to
the
contrarie
,
shall
be
reuoked
and
made
voide
(
except
and
alwayes
reserued
all
such
as
are
banished
for
murder
,
or
any
other
like
villanous
acte
,
except
also
and
reserued
all
those
which
were
bannished
Megapolite
,
for
the
treason
conspired
with
Polyenote
,
except
also
the
Amphisencians
,
Tricians
,
Pharcondonians
and
Heraclians
.
)
And
for
the
rest
we
well
they
be
called
backe
,
and
receyued
home
on
this
side
the
thirtie
day
of
Aprill
.
And
if
Philip
our
Father
and
Alexander
our
brother
,
haue
ordeyned
and
made
any
ordinaunces
or
lawes
particular
contrarie
to
this
,
let
them
which
find
them selues
agréeued
come
to
vs
,
and
we
will
take
such
order
,
as
shall
be
both
honest
and
reasonable
for
eyther
parte
.
And
for
the
Athenians
,
we
will
that
they
continue
and
remayne
as
they
did
in
the
time
of
Philip
and
Alexander
,
and
to
enioye
the
citie
of
Orope
,
and
countrey
thereof
as
they
did
at
that
present
:
together
the
Citie
of
Samye
,
as
Phillip
our
progenitour
and
noble
parent
deliuered
it
them
.
In
this
doing
we
forbid
the
Grekes
that
they
enterprise
nothing
,
neyther
serue
or
ayde
any
whom
soeuer
against
vs
,
vpon
payne
of
banishement
both
they
and
their
posteritie
,
with
confiscation
of
their
landes
and
goods
,
whiche
attempt
or
do
the
contrarie
.
Of
all
which
things
we
haue
gyuen
notice
and
power
to
Polispercon
&
Deicete
to
execute
,
willing
therefore
and
commaunding
you
wholly
to
obey
him
accordingly
,
as
we
haue
heretofore
written
vnto
you
.
For
if
any
take
in
hand
to
doe
contrarie
to
our
ordinaunce
aforesaid
,
we
will
by
no
meanes
suffer
and
abide
it
.
When
Polispercon
had
published
this
edict
,
he
commaunded
the
Argiues
and
other
Cities
to
expulse
the
Gouernours
whome
Antipater
had
authorised
,
and
to
condemne
and
put
certain
of
them
to
death
,
and
confiske
their
goods
that
Cassander
might
not
be
holpen
thereby
.
He
write
also
to
Olympias
to
returne
into
Macedon
,
and
take
vpon
hir
the
gouernement
of
Alexander
,
vntill
he
came
to
age
.
He
write
likewise
letters
in
the
names
of
the
kings
to
Eumenes
,
not
to
reconcile
him
to
Antigone
,
but
to
take
parte
with

and
returne
into
Macedone
,
where
he
should
be
receyued
as
a
compainon
with
the
said
Polispercon
to
the
gouernement
of
the
said
kings
:
or
else
if
he
would
farrie
in
Asie
,
there
should
be
sent
vnto
him
both
men
and
money
to
warre
vpon
Antigone
,
an
vtter
enimie
and
rebell
against
the
kings
:
and
that
he
would
also
render
the
Satrapies
which
Antigone
had
expulsed
him
:
together
,
al
the
rest
which
he
before
held
and
enioyed
in
Asie
.
Saying
farther
,
that
it
was
hée
aboue
all
other
,
which
of
right
ought
to
be
most
zelous
and
vigilant
about
the
affaires
and
authorite
of
the
ligne
Royall
,
by
whiche
he
was
altogether
preferred
and
honored
:
following
his
accustomed
care
and
diligence
whiche
he
before
at
all
times
had
shewed
to
the
same
.
And
if
he
néeded
greater
force
,
the
saide
Polispercon
would
with
the
kings
and
their
power
come
into
Asie
.
These
matters
were
done
the
yeare
that
Archippe
gouerned
Athens
,
and
Quinte
Elye
and
Lucy
Papyre
were
created

taking

goeth

The
.xxvj.
Chapter
.
SOone
after
that
Eumenes
was
departed
the
Citie
of
Nore
,
he
receyued
letters
from
Polispercon
,
wherein
were
conteyned
ouer
and
besides
the
things
abouesaid
,
how
that
the
kings
(
somewhat
to
countreuayle
his
great
losse
)
had
fréelie
gyuen
him
fiue
hundreth
Talents
,
and
that
they
had
written
to
the
Pretors
and
receyuers
of
the
countrey
of
Cilice
,
to
deliuer
him
other
fiue
hundred
Talents
,
and
so
much
money
besides
as
was
sufficient
to
paye
his
Souldiers
wages
,
and
for
the
buying
of
all
other
his
prouision
for
the
warres
,
and
that
the
Captaines
of
the
Argiraspides
who
had
about
sixe
thousand
men
,
should
serue
vnder
the
said
Eumenes
as
Lieutenaunt
to
the
kings
,
and
Lord
and
Gouernour
of
all
A●
ie
.
Anon
were
brought
letters
from
Olympias
to
him
,
praying
and
requiring
his
aide
in
the
behalfe
of
the
kings
,
and
hir
:
For
that
he
alone
had
bene
alwayes
iust
and
faithfull
to
the
kings
and
was
presentlie
able
to
deliuer
them
from
the
troubles
which
grew
dayly
vpon
them
.
And
farther
,
she
desired
his
counsail
,
whether
it
were
hir
best
to
remayne
in
Epyre
,
and
not
to
gyue
credit
to
them
which
séemed
but
protectors
and
gouernours
,
and
in
déede
affected
the
onely
kingdome
,
or
to
returne
into
Macedone
.
Whome
Eumenes
agayne
aunswered
by
letters
,
that
he
thought
it
the
surest
waye
for
hir
to
remaine
still
in
Epire
,
vntill
she
sée
some
ende
of
the
warres
.
But
Eumenes
euermore
trustie
and
faithfull
to
the
kings
,
purposed
not
to
take
parte
with
Antigone
,
affecting
the
kingdome
,
but
rather
to
serue
the
Sonne
of
Alexander
,
yet
a
boy
(
who
through
the
wickednesse
of
his
Captaynes
&
seruitours
wanted
ayde
)
and
to
aduenture
him selfe
for
his
cause
in
al
daungers
.
Wherefore
he
departed
incontinent
out
of
Cappadoce
with
eight
hundred
horse
,
and
two
thousand
footemen
,
hauing
no
time
to
tarrie
and
abide
,
for
all
those
which
promised
to
ioyne
with
him
,
bicause
Antigone
(
vnderstanding
that
he
was
his
enimie
)
had
in
all
haste
sent
Menander
with
a
mightie
armie
to
expulse
him
Cappadoce
.
Menander
.
When
Menander
came
thether
,
and
found
Eumenes
gone
thrée
dayes
before
,
he
determined
to
pursue
him
,
but
seing
he
could
not
ouer
reach
him
,
he
retired
into
Cappadoce
.
Shortlie
after
,
Eumenes
(
through
his
great
spéed
,
passing
the
mount
Thaure
)
got
to
Cilice
.
As
soone
as
Antigene
and
Teutame
(
Captaynes
of
the
Argiraspides
,
who
serued
the
kings
)
vnderstood
of
his
comming
,
Antigene
.
Teutame
.
they
mette
him
on
the
waye
with
a
numbre
of
their
friendes
:
who
after
they
had
reioyced
together
with
him
,
in
that
he
had
escaped
from
so
manie
daungers
,
they
fréelie
and
redilie
offered
him
their
seruice
.
In
like
case
also
did
the
Argiraspides
Macedonians
,
greatlie
wondering
at
the
varietie
of
his
fortune
,
considering
that
not
long
before
he
was
adiudged
a
rebell
to
the
kings
,
he
and
all
his
friends
condemned
to
death
,
and
now
reuersing
their
iudgement
,
they
had
not
only
pardoned
him
,
but
also
had
gyuen
him
the
gouernement
of
their
whole
Empire
.
The
varietie
&
instabilitie
of
worldlie
things
.
Notwithstanding
,
suche
as
considered
Eumenes
straunge
Fortune
,
little
or
nothing
maruelled
thereat
.
For
what
is
he
,
whiche
marketh
and
noteth
the
instabilitie
of
our
life
,
that
knoweth
not
the
chaunge
and
mutabilitie
of
fortune
?
Or
who
is
he
,
which
ouermuch
trusteth
to
the
honor
and
prosperitie
,
whiche
in
this
world
happeneth
him
that
is
not
subiect
to
fleshly
britlenesse
?
For
the
common
and
ordinarie
life
of
men
gouerned
and
ruled
by
some
secret
ordinaunce
of
God
,
is
without
any
stabilitie
,
continually
turned
to
good
and
euill
.
Wherefore
let
no
man
meruaill
if
any
thing
chaunce
to
him
sodenlie
,
but
rather
if
whatsoeuer
commeth
,
commeth
not
vnlooked
for
.
And
therefore
by
good
reason
ought
all
men
to
commend
histories
.
The
commendation
of
Histories
.
For
the
varietie
and
instabilite
which
men
in
worldly
matters
find
by
experience
,
abateth
the
pride
and
ambicion
of
those
whiche
haue
in
them
any
felicitie
,
and
enboldeneth
and
gyueth
hope
to
such
as
are
in
aduersitie
,
as
to
Eumenes
chaunced
,
who
knowing
the
slippernesse
of
worldly
Fortune
,
constantly
endured
his
infelicitie
,
hoping
and
looking
for
better
:
And
then
seing
him selfe
preferred
and
aduaunced
to
great
authoritie
,
&
foreséeing
the
inconstancie
of
Fortune
,
verie
wiselie
and
circumspectlie
ordered
his
affaires
and
businesse
.
For
first
he
considered
,
that
he
being
a
straunger
,
the
gouernement
of
a
realme
and
so
princelie
an
astate
was
vnméete
&
not
apperteyning
vnto
him
:
and
that
those
whome
he
should
gouerne
were
Macedonians
,
and
had
condempned
him
to
death
:
and
that
al
the
Captaynes
and
Gouernours
of
the
Prouinces
were
honorable
personages
,
and
of
hie
courages
,
and
pretended
great
and
waightie
enterprises
.
Wherefore
he
suspected
,
that
if
he
shoulde
take
vpon
him
so
great
a
charge
,
they
woulde
contemne
him
being
a
straunger
,
and
thereby
he
shoulde
get
great
enimitie
,
and
alwayes
stand
in
daunger
of
losing
his
life
.
For
he
knew
well
,
that
the
Macedonians
woulde
in
no
wyse
be
at
his
commaundement
,
bicause
they
reputed
him
a
meane
man
,
and
much
inferior
to
them
,
and
therefore
rather
thought
that
he
should
be
subiect
to
them
,
than
they
to
him
.
Wherfore
all
these
things
considered
,
he
declared
to
the
Captaynes
and
Souldiers
,
that
first
,
where
it
had
pleased
the
Kings
by
their
letters
to
graunt
him
for
his
reliefe
.v.
hundred
Talents
,
he
highlie
thanked
them
,
but
vtterlie
refused
the
receipt
thereof
:
saying
,
he
néeded
not
so
great
a
reward
and
gift
,
since
he
affected
neyther
Empire
or
dominion
:
nor
to
haue
any
suche
charge
was
his
desire
,
but
that
by
the
letters
of
the
kings
he
was
commaunded
to
do
it
:
neyther
was
he
able
any
longer
to
abide
the
labors
&
trauails
of
warre
,
bycause
he
was
now
sore
broosed
and
lame
:
doing
them
farther
to
wete
,
that
he
looked
not
therby
to
attayne
to
any
principalitie
,
considering
he
was
a
straunger
and
not
a
Macedonian
.
He
also
affirmed
,
that
in
his
sléepe
he
see
such
a
vision
,
that
him
thought
necessarie
to
be
manifested
to
them
,
forasmuch
as
in
his
iudgement
it
might
be
an
helpe
to
vnitie
and
concord
,
and
also
very
profitable
to
the
common
wealth
.
He
thought
in
his
sléepe
,
that
Alexander
appeared
to
him
as
if
he
had
bene
alyue
:
and
in
the
same
robes
which
he
commaunded
all
his
princes
and
Captaynes
,
and
ministred
the
Lawes
apperteyning
to
the
Empire
.
Wherefore
quod
he
)
I
thinke
it
good
that
of
the
kings
treasure
a
Throne
imperiall
be
forged
&
made
of
golde
,
and
thereupon
to
be
placed
and
set
the
statue
or
image
of
Alexander
crouned
,
holding
a
Scepter
as
he
did
in
his
life
time
.
And
that
all
the
Princes
and
Captaynes
shall
euery
morning
assemble
there
,
and
after
the
sacrifice
finished
,
to
sit
in
counsaill
of
the
affaires
of
the
warres
:
and
whatsoeuer
is
concluded
on
,
to
take
it
as
from
the
mouth
of
the
said
Alexander
:
which
thing
was
thought
good
by
all
the
assistauntes
,
and
they
all
out
of
hand
caused
the
said
deliberacion
to
be
executed
,
and
forged
a
statue
or
ymage
:
bycause
in
the
treasurie
of
the
kings
was
great
stoare
of
golde
and
siluer
:
Whereupon
within
few
dayes
after
,
an
image
was
enstalled
in
a
Throne
Imperial
with
a
Diademe
,
Scepter
and
other
kinglie
robes
.
About
the
same
was
an
Aulter
rered
vp
,
and
fire
layed
thereon
,
of
which
all
the
Captaynes
tooke
coales
,
and
put
them
in
Censures
of
golde
,
wherewith
they
encensed
the
Statue
with
swéete
and
precious
smelles
,
making
sacrifice
thereto
as
vnto
God
.
After
the
sacrifice
was
done
,
stooles
and
formes
were
brought
,
whereon
sat
all
the
noble
Princes
and
valiaunt
Captaynes
,
consulting
of
the
incident
affaires
.
In
doing
whereof
Eumenes
tooke
vpon
him
no
authoritie
or
title
of
Gouernour
,
but
shewed
him
in
all
points
egall
to
them
,
and
through
curteons
and
gentle
language
,
was
voide
of
all
grudge
and
hatred
,
and
gotte
the
good
willes
of
all
the
Captaynes
.
Moreouer
,
bycause
of
the
superstition
they
vsed
towardes
the
statue
of
Alexander
,
they
hoped
to
prosper
as
if
some
God
had
gouerned
and
guyded
them
.
And
vsing
the
same
humanitie
towards
the
Argiraspides
Macedonians
,
they
highly
estéemed
him
and
accomted
him
worthie
the
charge
and
gouernement
of
the
affaires
of
the
kings
.
This
done
,
he
sent
his
principall
and
wisest
friends
to
assemble
and
wage
other
Mercenarie
Souldiers
,
appointing
large
sallarie
and
entretainement
.
Of
whiche
Commissioners
some
departed
into
Piside
,
Lycie
,
and
other
Regions
néereby
:
other
into
Celosirie
and
Phenice
:
the
rest
into
Cypres
:
so
that
amongest
them
they
leuied
a
great
numbre
of
men
.
But
after
it
was
noysed
that
they
tooke
vp
Souldiers
,
and
gaue
good
entretainement
,
a
numbre
of
good
fellowes
of
the
Cities
of
Grece
,
offered
their
seruice
and
were
enrolled
,
so
that
in
short
time
(
as
besides
the
Argiraspides
and
other
whom
Eumenes
brought
with
him
)
they
had
gotten
together
,
aboue
ten
thousand
footemen
and
two
thousand
horse
.
¶
Ptolome
goeth
about
to
cause
the
Argiraspides
to
kil
Eumenes
,
whome
he
by
his
wisedome
appaised
,
and
after
sendeth
an
army
by
Sea
into
Phenice
.
The
.xxvij.
Chapter
.
WHen
Eumenes
in
short
time
was
sodenly
became
puyssant
,
Ptolome
arriuing
with
his
Nauie
at
the
Citie
of
Zephire
,
Zephire
.
in
the
countrey
of
Cilice
,
sent
letters
to
the
Argiraspides
,
signifying
to
them
,
that
they
ought
not
of
right
to
obey
Eumenes
,
considering
he
had
ben
by
the
Macedonians
already
condemned
to
dye
.
He
sent
also
straight
admonition
to
all
the
townes
in
Cilice
,
not
to
deliuer
him
any
money
:
promising
to
saue
them
harmelesse
against
him
.
Howbeit
,
there
were
none
that
made
any
accompt
of
his
letters
,
bycause
the
kings
,
Polispercon
their
gouernour
,
and
Olympias
,
Alexander
his
mother
,
had
writen
to
the
contrarie
,
that
they
shoulde
obey
Eumenes
,
and
to
whome
they
shoulde
gyue
whatsoeuer
he
demaunded
,
as
to
the
Lieutenaunt
generall
of
the
kings
,
hauing
full
power
and
authoritie
.
Now
waxed
Antigone
maruelous
angry
,
by
reason
of
Eumenes
his
authoritie
.
For
he
knew
it
was
Polispercon
who
had
so
aduaunced
and
set
him
in
such
rowme
to
plague
the
rebelles
against
the
kings
.
Wherefore
he
determined
eyther
by
treason
,
or
some
other
villanous
meane
,
to
bring
him
to
his
ende
.
And
therfore
sent
he
Philote
one
of
his
chief
friends
with
letters
to
the
Argiraspides
and
the
rest
of
the
Macedonians
.
Philote
.
Whereupon
he
incontinent
appointed
thirtie
Macedonians
,
both
wise
and
well
spoken
,
to
accompany
him
:
commaunding
them
to
prease
and
talke
with
the
Captaynes
of
the
Argiraspides
,
to
saye
Antigone
and
Teutane
,
and
to
promise
,
(
that
if
they
would
kill
Eumenes
)
to
rewarde
them
largely
,
and
besides
bestowe
on
them
greater
Dominions
than
before
they
enioyed
:
and
make
the
like
promisses
to
all
the
Argiraspides
with
whome
they
had
any
acquaintaunce
or
familiaritie
.
Howbeit
,
they
founde
few
or
none
agréeing
thereto
,
but
Teutane
onely
,
who
in
all
he
might
labored
to
winne
Antigone
his
companion
.
But
he
as
one
that
estéemed
his
faith
and
honour
,
did
not
only
gainesay
so
wicked
and
villanous
an
act
,
but
in
the
ende
,
conuerted
his
corrupted
friend
,
saying
,
that
it
were
much
better
for
them
that
Eumenes
dyd
lyue
and
beare
rule
,
than
Antigone
.
For
that
if
Antigone
attained
the
greatest
dignitie
and
authoritie
,
he
woulde
expulse
them
their
Satrapies
and
gyue
them
to
his
friends
:
where
Eumenes
being
a
straunger
durst
not
affect
the
principalitie
,
but
continuing
Chieftayne
and
Lieutenaunt
,
would
alwayes
gently
and
fauourably
entreat
them
as
his
special
friends
and
companions
:
and
in
taking
his
parte
,
woulde
suffer
them
to
enioye
and
possesse
their
Satrapies
,
and
paraduenture
bestowe
some
better
vpon
them
.
By
this
meane
and
persuasion
they
whiche
came
to
betraye
Eumenes
,
were
frustrate
of
their
enterprise
.
Notwithstanding
Philote
assembled
the
Argiraspides
,
and
the
other
Macedonians
,
to
whom
they
presented
their
letters
writen
by
Antigone
,
wherein
he
greatly
accused
and
charged
Eumenes
,
commaunding
them
incontinent
vpon
the
sight
of
the
letters
,
to
apprehend
and
put
him
to
death
:
And
in
case
they
would
not
,
he
threatned
and
ment
with
his
whole
power
to
come
against
them
,
for
their
disobedience
sharply
to
punish
them
.
When
the
letters
were
séene
and
read
,
both
Captaynes
and
Souldiers
stood
in
great
perplexitie
and
doubt●
for
they
sée
that
they
by
no
meane
could
escape
the
daunger
,
bycause
(
if
they
tooke
parte
with
the
kings
)
Antigone
would
ouerthrow
them
:
and
if
they
obeyed
Antigone
,
the
kings
then
would
plague
them
.
And
as
they
were
in
this
trouble
of
mind
,
Eumenes
boldly
entred
the
assemblie
:
&
after
he
had
read
the
letters
,
he
pronounced
vnto
them
,
that
of
dutie
and
allegiaunce
,
they
ought
to
obey
the
kings
,
and
not
to
gyue
eare
to
suche
as
rebelled
against
them
,
so
that
through
his
words
and
persuasions
,
he
in
such
sorte
confirmed
them
,
that
he
both
assured
his
owne
estate
,
and
likewise
still
wan
their
fauours
and
good
willes
.
And
where
he
was
before
in
maruelous
daunger
,
he
now
agayne
sodenly
became
to
be
aduanced
to
high
authoritie
.
Incontinent
after
,
he
marched
forwarde
with
his
armie
towardes
Phenice
,
purposing
to
assemble
all
the
ships
of
the
Cities
,
and
to
send
a
mightie
Nauie
to
Sea
,
to
the
ende
,
that
Polispercon
shoulde
be
Lorde
of
the
Seas
to
passe
into
Asie
,
to
warre
vpon
Antigone
.

Nycanor
keeping
and
occupying

against

.
The
.xxviij.
Chapter
.
AT
the
same
time
that
the
things
abouesaid
were
exploited
in
Phenice
,
Nycanor
Captayne
of
the
Citie
of
Munichie
,
vnderstanding
that
Cassander
was
departed
Macedone
,
and
gone
to
Antigone
,
and
that
Polispercon
would
come
with
his
armie
Royall
shortly
into
the
countrey
of
Athenes
,
he
persuaded
the
Athenians
to
kéepe
their
friendship
and
amitie
with
Cassander
.
And
when
he
sée
they
stayed
not
at
his
wordes
,
but
instantly
required
him
to
take
away
his
garrisons
whiche
kept
the
citie
,
he
ment
to
entertayne
and
delay
them
:
desiring
them
to
pawse
a
while
,
and
after
that
,
would
take
such
order
,
that
they
should
haue
cause
to
be
well
contented
and
satisfied
.
Now
in
this
meane
time
that
the
Athenians
were
quieted
with
these
wordes
,
he
priuely
thrust
in
the
night
by
little
and
little
all
the
Souldiers
of
Athens
into
the
Castle
of
Munychie
,
so
that
he
was
then
able
with
those
Souldiers
to
kéepe
and
maintayne
the
same
place
,
and
defend
him selfe
against
the
assailauntes
,
whiche
crafty
dealing
the
Athenians
séeing
,
sent
their
Ambassadoures
towards
the
kings
and
Polispercon
,
to
demaund
ayde
,
according
to
the
edict
published
for
the
libertie
of
the
cities
of
Grece
.
They
also
called
many
counsails
to
sée
by
what
meane
they
might
expulse
Nycanor
.
But
whyle
they
thus
consulted
,
Nycanor
found
the
meane
to
wage
a
certain
numbre
of
Mercenaries
,
with
whome
in
a
night
he
sallied
out
of
Munychie
,
and
seized
on
the
entrie
or
mouth
of
the
Port
of
Pyre
.
Pyre
.
When
the
Athenians
sée
that
in
stead
of
recouering
Munychie
they
had
lost
Pire
,
they
were
sore
agréeued
.
Wherfore
they
chose
certen
Ambassadoures
of
the
worshipfullest
of
the
Citie
,
Nycanors
very
friends
,
and
sent
to
him
:
to
say
,
Phocion
the
sonne
of
Phoce
,
Thymon
the
sonne
of
Thymothe
,
and
Clearcke
the
sonne
of
Nansicles
,
commaunding
them
to
chalenge
and
blame
him
for
that
fact
,
and
to
require
that
they
might
be
restored
to
their
Ciuill
gouernement
,
according
to
the
Decrée
of
the
kings
before
by
them
published
.
Nycanor
aunswered
,
that
they
must
send
to
Cassander
by
whom
he
was
deputed
Gardein
of
the
same
:
bycause
without
him
,
he
had
no
authoritie
to
dispose
or
take
awaye
any
thing
.
In
the
meane
time
letters
came
to
Nycanor
from
Quéene
Olympias
,
commaunding
him
to
render
to
the
Athenians
,
Munichie
and
Pire
.
Then
Nycanor
séeing
that
the
kings
and
Polispercon
woulde
haue
Olympias
come
into
Macedone
,
and
restore
hir
to
the
gouernement
of
the
infante
,
and
gyue
hir
as
great
authoritie
as
she
had
in
the
life
of
Alexander
,
fearing
therfore
to
disobey
hir
,
promised
the
Athenians
to
make
restitution
to
them
according
to
the
forme
and
tenour
of
hir
letters
.
Notwithstanding
,
he
delayed
them
from
daye
to
daye
,
making
many
excuses
.
During
this
season
,
the
Athenians
considering
that
in
times
past
they
had
maruelously
endeuoured
them selues
to
honor
Olympias
the
Quéene
,
and
that
the
honor
which
they
had
done
to
hir
,
was
well
emploied
and
bestowed
:
and
that
therefore
they
might
by
hir
meanes
recouer
their
libertie
without
daunger
,
they
became
maruelous
glad
,
and
fedde
them selues
with
vaine
hope
.
But
before
Nycanor
had
accomplished
his
promise
,
Alexander
Polispercon
his
Sonne
arriued
in
their
Countrey
with
a
great
army
.
Then
the
Athenians
thinking
that
he
was
come
to
restore
them
the
Citties
of
Munychie
and
Pyre
,
were
in
maruelous
ioye
.
But
it
chaunced
contrary
to
their
expectation
:
for
he
came
to
seize
to
his
owne
vse
on
the
saide
Fortresses
,
and
to
furnishe
them
with
garrisons
for
his
owne
ayde
in
the
warres
.
At
hys
comming
,
certain
conspiratours
,
Antipater
his
friendes
and
Phocion
him selfe
fearing
punishement
for
their
disobedience
and
rebellion
against
the
ordinaunces
of
the
Kings
,
mette
with
Alexander
,
and
counsailed
him
according
to
the
necessity
of
the
case
,
and
what
was
best
for
his
commoditie
and
profit
,
but
chiefly
that
he
shoulde
furnishe
the
fortresse
with
his
owne
Souldiers
,
and
not
render
them
vnto
the
Athenians
,
before
Cassander
were
discomfited
.
When
Alexander
was
come
before
Pyre
,
he
forthwith
pitched
his
campe
and
besieged
the
Towne
,
and
fell
to
a
parle
with
Nycanor
touching
the
same
,
without
calling
any
of
the
Athenians
to
counsaile
,
or
once
making
them
priuie
:
so
that
it
manifestly
appeared
then
,
nothing
to
be
done
for
the
profit
and
common
vtilitie
of
the
Citie
.
By
reason
whereof
,
the
people
assembled
and
deposed
the
officers
then
in
authoritie
,
and
assigned
and
deputed
new
:
and
such
as
they
thought
more
affectioned
to
the
popular
faction
.
And
certen
which
had
the
gouernement
of
any
particular
office
:
some
they
condemned
to
death
,
and
other
to
perpetuall
exile
,
with
confiscation
of
their
goods
:
amongs
whome
was
Phocion
,
who
in
Antipater
his
time
had
the
greatest
rowme
and
authoritie
within
the
Citie
.
And
after
,
he
with
the
rest
whiche
were
deposed
,
repaired
all
to
Alexander
Polispercon
his
sonne
,
trusting
by
him
to
be
restored
,
whom
he
right
gently
receyued
,
gyuing
them
his
letters
addressed
to
Polispercon
his
father
,
praying
him
not
to
permit
and
suffer
Phocion
and
his
adherents
to
be
destroyed
,
who
had
taken
parte
with
him
,
and
had
always
ben
ready
to
do
what
pleasure
and
seruice
him
liked
.
The
people
of
Athenes
also
sent
their
Ambassadoures
to
the
said
Polispercon
,
to
accuse
Phocion
,
and
to
demaunde
that
the
Citie
of
Munychie
might
be
rendred
to
them
,
&
them selues
restored
to
their
libertie
and
popular
gouernaunce
.
When
Polispercon
vnderstood
the
whole
matter
,
he
greatly
desired
to
kéepe
the
Port
of
Pyre
,
being
a
méete
and
necessarie
place
for
the
affaires
of
warre
.
Neuerthelesse
,
fearing
to
be
reputed
a
dissembler
and
double
man
if
he
went
against
that
which
he
before
had
commaunded
by
a
common
and
publique
Decrée
,
and
that
he
woulde
not
be
accompted
and
taken
deceytfull
and
disloyall
,
chiefly
to
doe
wrong
to
that
which
was
the
principall
Citie
of
Grece
,
altered
his
determination
&
curteously
aunswered
the
Ambassadours
of
the
people
:
whereupon
Phocion
and
his
adherents
were
apprehended
&
sent
bound
to
Athens
,
comprimitting
the
whole
matter
to
the
wil
&
choyse
of
the
Athenians
,
whether
they
woulde
condemne
and
put
them
to
death
,
or
remitte
and
forgiue
the
effendours
.
Wherefore
when
the
people
were
assembled
to
sit
in
iudgement
of
Phocion
and
his
complices
:
the
most
of
the
banished
in
the
time
of
Antipater
which
tooke
parte
against
him
,
greeuously
accused
and
adiudged
them
worthy
the
death
,
the
summe
of
which
accusation
was
this
:
that
they
after
the
Lamian
warre
were
the
principall
and
chiefe
causers
that
their
Citie
and
Countrey
were
brought
in
thraldome
and
bondage
,
the
gouernement
and
authoritie
of
the
people
wholy
extinguished
,
and
the
lawes
and
ordinaunces
of
the
same
Countrie
clerely
violated
and
infringed
.
When
the
daye
assigned
was
come
,
Phocion
very
sagely
and
wysely
beganne
to
plead
and
defende
his
cause
:
but
so
soone
as
the
multitude
and
great
numbre
of
the
people
heard
him
beginne
to
speake
,
The
furie
of
the
people
.
they
made
suche
a
noyse
and
vprore
,
that
he
could
not
be
heard
.
When
the
noise
was
ceased
,
and
that
he
beganne
agayne
to
speake
,
they
likewise
interrupted
and
stopped
him
that
he
coulde
haue
no
audience
:
for
the
multitude
of
the
baser
sorte
,
which
had
bene
degraded
and
put
from
the
publique
gouernement
,
being
sodenly
newly
authorised
,
were
very
insolent
against
those
which
had
depriued
them
their
libertie
.
Howbeit
Phocion
in
daunger
to
lose
his
life
,
boldly
and
stoutely
stood
to
the
defence
of
his
iustification
,
so
that
these
about
him
heard
what
he
sayde
.
But
they
which
were
any
thing
farther
of
,
could
heare
nothing
for
the
noyse
and
vprore
of
the
people
:
but
they
might
all
sée
,
that
he
spake
and
made
many
gestures
with
his
body
,
as
a
man
in
great
daunger
and
feare
.
But
in
the
ende
when
he
sée
no
boote
,
he
with
a
loud
voice
cried
and
sayde
,
that
he
was
contented
to
dye
,
but
prayde
that
they
might
be
forgiuen
whome
he
had
inuegled
and
attracted
to
his
will
and
pleasure
,
some
forcibly
,
and
some
by
gentle
admonitions
and
persuasions
.
When
certaine
of
Phocions
friendes
sée
that
the
violence
and
rage
of
the
people
ceassed
not
,
they
preased
in
to
speake
for
him
,
whome
the
multitude
incontinent
hearkened
vnto
,
before
any
man
knewe
what
they
woulde
say
:
But
after
it
was
perceyued
they
spake
in
the
fauour
of
the
accused
,
they
were
in
lyke
sorte
reiected
by
the
clamors
of
the
people
,
so
that
in
the
ende
by
the
common
voyce
and
exclamation
of
the
multitude
,
they
wer
condemned
to
death
,
and
that
done
carried
to
prison
.
Then
many
of
their
friendes
seing
their
miserie
,
were
very
pensife
and
sorowfull
.
For
when
they
sée
that
such
personages
being
the
chief
and
principal
of
the
Citie
,
as
wel
for
their
nobilitie
as
their
authoritie
and
renoume
,
&
had
done
many
good
and
gracious
déedes
to
the
Citie
,
were
in
such
sort
condemned
without
order
of
iustice
,
they
greatly
feared
to
come
in
the
like
danger
.
But
forasmuch
as
fortune
is
common
and
mutable
,
many
of
the
people
dispiteously
agreued
with
the
sayd
Phocion
,
spake
al
the
oultrages
&
viltanies
against
him
they
could
,
reproching
hym
of
many
wicked
acts
&
déedes
,
as
people
commonly
doe
which
dissimule
their
anger
against
them
in
authoritie
:
But
when
they
see
fortune
turne
hir
saile
,
&
that
it
otherwise
hapneth
,
then
wil
they
without
reason
or
measure
,
in
all
despiteful
crueltie
vtter
and
shew
forth
their
priuie
griefe
and
pestiferous
malice
.
Not
long
after
,
the
condemned
,
acording
to
the
custome
of
the
countrey
,
dranke
poyson
,
and
their
carkaises
were
throwne
without
the
limites
and
precinctes
of
Athens
vnburied
,
and
this
was
their
ende
.
Polyspercon
besiegeth
Cassandre
in
Pyrey
,
and
perceiuing
that
he
coulde
not
win
it
,
departeth
thence
and
besiegeth
the
citie
of
Megalopolis
,
where
by
the
wisedome
and
policie
of
Demades
,
he
is
at
an
assault
repulsed
.
The
.xxix.
Chapter
.
DUring
the
time
that
these
matters
were
done
in
Asia
,
Antigone
had
sent
Cassander
with
.xxxv.
tall
warlike
gallies
,
and
foure
thousand
souldiours
to
saile
into
Pire
:
whom
Nichanor
captaine
of
the
Castle
,
receiued
and
rendred
to
him
the
port
and
castle
.
But
as
for
Munichie
Nicanor
garded
and
helde
that
with
his
owne
garrison
.
When
Polispercon
who
abode
and
continued
in
Phocide
,
vnderstoode
that
Cassander
had
taken
and
enioyed
Pire
,
he
came
into
the
Countrey
of
Athens
,
and
encamped
before
Pire
,
with
twentie
thousand
Macedonians
,
and
foure
thousand
straungers
and
confederates
,
and
thrée
score
and
fiue
Elephantes
,
and
besieged
the
same
.
But
séeing
the
scarcitie
and
want
of
victuals
,
and
the
siege
like
long
to
continue
,
he
left
behind
at
the
siege
such
number
of
Soldiours
as
the
Countrey
might
wel
vittell
,
deputing
for
his
lieuetenant
Alexander
his
sonne
,
and
him selfe
with
the
rest
,
being
the
greater
number
,
entred
Peloponess
,
to
the
ende
to
force
the
Megalopolitanes
to
come
vnder
the
obeisaunce
of
the
Kings
,
being
greatly
enclined
to
Cassander
,
and
the
continuation
of
their
Oligarchie
:
to
say
,
the
gouernement
of
certaine
particular
offices
and
dignities
which
Antipater
had
appointed
them
.
While
Polispercon
was
about
this
enterprise
,
Cassander
with
his
Nauie
hauing
alliaunce
with
the
Eginets
,
went
and
besieged
the
Citie
of
Salamine
his
enimie
:
And
euery
day
with
shot
,
whereof
he
had
foyson
,
assaulteth
the
town
,
bringing
them
in
great
hazarde
and
feare
.
And
being
almost
in
despaire
,
aide
came
from
Polispercon
bothe
by
sea
and
land
.
Wherevpon
Cassander
was
so
daunted
,
that
he
raised
his
siege
and
returned
to
Pire
.
After
that
Polispercon
meaning
to
set
and
order
and
stay
about
the
affaires
of
Peloponese
,
assembled
before
him
the
Deputies
of
all
the
Cities
:
whom
with
gentle
and
gratious
woordes
he
allured
to
ioyne
with
him
,
and
afterward
sent
his
Ambassadoures
to
all
the
Cities
,
commaunding
them
that
they
should
sodainely
kill
all
the
gouernors
appointed
by
Ptolome
,
and
restore
the
gouernement
to
the
people
.
Which
commaundement
the
people
incontinently
obeyed
,
so
that
there
were
great
slaughters
and
banishmentes
throughout
the
Cities
of
the
friends
of
Antipater
.
Then
the
commonaltie
being
restored
to
libertie
and
authoritie
,
ioyned
with
Polispercon
.
And
bicause
the
Megalopolitames
would
not
obey
,
but
still
sticke
to
Cassander
,
Polispercon
fully
determined
to
besiege
them
.
When
they
vnderstood
his
meaning
and
purpose
,
they
incontinently
caused
all
their
goodes
in
the
Countrey
to
be
brought
into
their
towne
,
and
after
mustered
and
tooke
viewe
of
their
people
,
which
were
of
Citizens
and
forainers
,
about
fiftene
thousand
besides
their
slaues
,
all
able
men
,
and
deuided
them
into
two
bandes
:
whereof
some
made
rampiers
and
other
workes
,
some
manned
the
walles
,
so
that
at
one
instant
they
were
all
busied
and
occupied
:
One
companie
ditched
about
the
Towne
,
an
other
companie
carried
woode
and
earth
out
of
the
fieldes
to
make
the
Rampiers
,
other
repaired
and
mended
the
walles
where
they
were
any
thing
at
all
decayed
,
some
forged
harnaies
and
engines
of
Artillarie
,
and
on
this
sort
was
all
the
whole
Citie
occupied
,
bicause
that
euery
one
was
minded
,
and
disposed
thereto
,
for
so
muche
as
the
power
which
came
against
them
,
were
men
of
inuincible
courages
,
and
the
Elephantes
of
great
violence
and
might
.
Not
long
after
that
they
had
brought
all
things
into
a
readinesse
and
perfection
,
Polispercon
with
his
whole
armie
arriued
before
the
same
,
and
on
both
sides
besieged
it
.
On
the
one
side
encamped
Macedonians
,
and
on
the
other
side
his
allyes
and
straungers
.
He
builded
also
many
Towers
of
woode
,
hygher
than
the
curten
and
wall
,
and
planted
them
in
places
conuenient
,
and
thrust
into
them
Souldioures
,
with
verie
great
plentie
of
shotte
or
slings
,
who
stoutly
fought
with
them
which
manned
the
walles
,
toures
&
bulwarkes
.
He
vndermined
likewise
thrée
of
their
toures
,
and
one
parte
of
the
curte●
,
and
after
gaue
fire
to
the
mynes
,
and
ouerthrew
them
:
When
the
Macedonians
see
the
ouerthrowe
of
them
,
they
made
a
great
outcrie
,
wherat
the
townesmen
were
maruellously
dismayed
,
to
see
their
curten
layde
on
grounde
:
Neuerthelesse
when
they
see
the
Macedonian●
force
to
enter
the
breache
of
the
toures
and
walles
,
they
deuided
themselues
into
two
bands
,
wherof
one
band
stode
to
the
defence
,
and
through
the
aduaunting
,
and
difficultie
of
the
passages
where
the
enimie
wold
haue
entred
,
they
valiantly
repulsed
them
.
The
other
band
made
new
rampiers
and
bulwarks
more
within
the
towne
:
so
that
bisides
the
wall
or
curten
which
was
ouerthrown
,
they
did
make
an
other
curten
and
trenche
a
good
distaunce
from
the
first
,
workyng
day
and
night
vntill
they
had
ended
and
finished
it
,
furnishing
the
same
wyth
shotte
and
engines
of
artillerie
,
wherwith
they
sore
hurt
and
galled
the
enimie
vpon
the
toures
of
woode
,
so
that
on
eche
side
were
many
hurte
and
slayne
vntill
nyght
approched
,
and
then
Polyspercon
cau●
ed
to
sounde
the
retraite
,
and
retired
into
his
campe
.
The
next
day
in
the
morning
he
gaue
a
freshe
assault
and
wanne
the
breache●
commaundyng
hys
Pyoners
to
cast
abroade
the
rubbishe
and
greate
stones
whyche
lay
on
heapes
,
into
the
dytches
and
trenches
,
for
smoothing
and
playnyng
the
grounde
,
that
hys
Elephauntes
myght
come
neere
,
bycause
then
they
woulde
greately
helpe
to
winne
and
take
the
towne
.
But
the
Megalopolitains
through
the
wisedome
and
conducte
of
Damides
,
who
had
long
serued
with
Alexander
in
Asie
,
Damides
.
&
knewe
the
nature
of
Elephantes
,
founde
an
excellent
remedie
against
them
,
and
through
his
policie
and
trauail
,
made
those
monstrous
and
terrible
beasts
vnprofitable
,
and
able
to
do
nothing
in
maner
as
foloweth
.
First
,
he
caused
many
doores
and
gates
to
be
made
,
&
thrust
them
full
of
great
pinnes
,
and
layde
them
within
the
little
shallowe
ditches
,
wyth
the
poyntes
of
the
pynnes
vpwarde
,
and
couered
them
with
mouldes
of
earth
,
and
suche
lyght
stuffe
,
that
they
mighte
not
bée
seene
:
and
when
the
enimie
came
to
assaile
,
to
place
on
euery
syde
a
strong
companie
of
shot
of
all
sortes
,
and
none
before
,
so
the
Polyspercon
séeing
none
to
resist
at
the
front
of
the
entrie
,
brought
on
hys
Elephantes
through
the
breache
into
the
towne
.
But
as
soone
as
they
came
to
the
place
where
the
ditches
were
,
they
by
reason
of
their
heauinesse
,
so
hurt
their
féete
,
that
they
could
neither
go
forwarde
,
nor
backwarde
,
chiefly
bicause
of
the
violence
of
the
shotte
,
whiche
came
so
thicke
agaynste
them
on
the
side
,
that
the
greater
parte
of
the
Ind●
ans
,
their
leaders
,
were
sore
hurt
or
slaine
,
not
able
to
gouerne
them
,
and
the
beastes
feelyng
them selues
hurte
,
returned
in
great
disorder
against
theyr
owne
people
,
and
maruellously
hurt
them
:
and
in
the
end
,
the
mightiest
and
fiercest
fell
downe
deade
,
and
the
rest
able
to
doe
no
good
,
ouerthrewe
theyr
owne
companie
.
When
the
Megalopolitanes
sée
that
they
hadde
thus
repulsed
the
enimie
,
they
were
delyuered
from
al
feare
,
and
waxed
very
proude
.
After
Clyte
hath
ouerthrowne
at
sea
Cassander
,
he
is
through
the
wisedome
of
Antigone
,
soone
after
discomfited
,
and
finally
slaine
in
his
flight
.
The
.xxx.
Chapter
.
AFter
this
repulse
,
Polyspercon
repented
hym
,
that
he
had
besieged
the
Citie
before
it
was
néedefull
:
And
bicause
he
would
lose
no
time
,
he
left
one
part
of
his
armie
at
the
siege
,
and
with
the
rest
,
he
intended
some
greater
and
more
necessarie
exploites
:
Wherfore
he
sente
Clyte
Admirall
wyth
hys
whole
Armie
into
Hellespont
to
stoppe
his
enimies
for
passing
oute
of

abyding
with

for
feare
of

enimie
.
When
Clyte
had
sayled
and
was
come
to
the
passage
of

,
and
had
taken
in

Nicanor

by
Cassander
,
with
all

shippes
there
,
with
a
certaine
companie

packt
on

,
and
fledde
into
the

.
After
whyche
ouerthrowe
,
Clyte
thought
that
hys
ennimies
durst
no
more
encounter
him
at
sea
,
by
reason
of
theyr
greate
losse
.
Notwithstandyng

aduertized
of
the
sayde
conflict
,
shortly
after
thorough
his
wisedome
and
diligence
amended
and
requited
the
same
.
For
be
founde
a
meane
to
gette
from
the
Bizances
a
certaine
numbre
of
small
ships
which
he
furnyshed
and
charged
with
stoare
of
shotte
,
A
Stratageme
.
and
nimble
and
quicke
footemen
,
and
sent
them
into
Enrope
,
who
being
landed
before
the
daunyng
of
the
day
,
gaue
the
alarme
to
Clyte
and
hys
Souldiers
,
encamped
on
the
lande
,
whome
they
so
disordered
,
that
they
retired
to
theyr
shyppes
out
of
aray
,
leauyng
the
greater
parte
of
theyr
baggage
behynde
them
,
and
many
that
did
tarrie
for
the
sauyng
thereof
,
were
slaine
or
taken
prisoners
.
In
the
meane
while
Antigone
furnished
hys
greatest
shyppes
wyth
his
best
and
most
trained
Souldiers
,
and
also
a
greate
numbre
of
Maryners

declaryng
vnto
them
,
that
if
they
would
lustyly
assayle
and
boorde
the
ennimie
,
he
would
warrante
them
bothe
great
honoure
and
also
victorie
.
In
pursuing
which
commaundement
,
Nicanor
departed
that
night
,
and
sped
him
with
such
diligence
,
that
about
the
day
breake
,
he
wyth
suche
deuoire
assayled
and
boorded
the
enimie
,
that
findyng
them
at
his
arriuall
oute
of
order
,
he
put
them
to
flight
.
In
whiche
flight
some
of
the
ennimies
shippes
were
sore
shaken
and
broosed
,
and
the
reste
wholly
rendred
,
and
became
subiecte
to
Nicanor
,
excepte
the
Admirall
,
in
whyche
Clyte
escaped
.
Neuerthelesse
after
he
was
sette
on
lande
,
and
hoped
safely
to
passe
thorough
the
countrey
of
Thrace
into

FOr
this
noble
and
honorable
victorie
Antigone
was
greatly
esteemed
,
&
wan
thereby
much
glory
&
reputation
,
&
therfore
fully
minded
to
be
lord
of
the
seas
and
emperor
of

,
wherfore
he
chose
out
of
his

,
&

.
horse
,
with
whom
he
spéedily
marched
into
Cilice
against
Eumenes
,
thinking
to
ouerthrow
him
before
such
time
as
he
might
assemble
a
greter
army
.
But

being
aduertised
of
his
commyng
,
albeit
he
was
willing
to
recouer
in
the
name
of
the
Kings

Countrey

Ptolome
vniustly
enioyed
,
séeing
that
the
time
then
serued
not
,
and
especially
bicause
he
still
looked
for
the
comming
of
Antigone
,
went
from
Phenicie
with
his
whole
armie
,
and
with
great
spéede
came
through
the
countrey
of
Celosirie
,
for
that
he
ment
to
get
vpon
the
hie
Countrey

.
And
when
he
was
néere

riuer
Tygris
,
the
people
of
the
Countrey
,
by
night
assailed
him
and
slue
some
of
his
souldiers
.
From
thence
marched
he
into
the
countrey
of
Babilon
,
where
Seleucke
also
assailed
him
about
the
riuer
Eufrates
,
being
in
danger
of
loosing
al
his
whole
armie
:
bicause
an
arme
of
the
Riuer
which
woonted
to
run
through
an
olde
ditche
,
was
broken
vp
by
Seleucke
his
souldioures
,
so
that
all
Eumenes
campe
was
ouerflowed
.
But
through
his
wisdom
and
industrie
,
he
retired
vnto
an
hill
,
and
caused
the
entrie
and
mouth
of
the
said
ditch
to
be
stopped
vp
,
and
turned
the
entercourse
of
the
water
,
so
by
that
meanes
he
readily
saued
bothe
his
person
and
armie
from
the
hands
of
Seleucke
,
&
with
the
losse
of
fiftene
thousand
foote
men
,
&
thrée
thousand
horsse
,
marched
on
into
the
Countrey
of
Perse.
And
after
he
had
there
a
while
soiourned
,
his
soldiers
yet
through
their
long
trauaile
sore
wearied
,
he
sent
towardes

of
the
higher
Prouinces

AFter
Polispercon
had
shamefully
bene
repulsed
from
the
siege
of
Megalopolis
in
Europe
,
his
credite
began
maruellously
to
empaire
and
abate
,
so
that
manye
of
the
cities
of
Grece
reuolted
from
the
kings
to
Cassander
.
And
when
the
Athenians
saw
that
neither
through
the
helpe
of
Polispercon
or
Olympias
,
they
could
expulse
the
garrison
from
Pire
,
some
of
the
worshipfullest
of
the
Citie
,
presumed
and
tooke
vpon
them
to
propose
before
the
assemble
of
the
people
,
that
it
should
be
very
méete
and
expedient
,
to
make
alliance
with
Cassander
.
But
bicause
many
were
of
the
contrary
opinion
,
there
arose
great
contention
amongs
them
.
Neuerthelesse
after
they
had
considered
their
commoditie
and
profite
,
they
all
thought
it
the
surest
way
to
send
their
Ambassadors
to
Cassander
to
agrée
with
him
in
the
best
manner
they
might
:
Who
after
many
dayes
of
parle
and
treatie
,
compounded
with
him
as
foloweth
.
First
,
that
the
Athenians
taking
part
with
Cassander
,
should
holde
,
occupie
,
and
enioy
in
quiet
and
peaceable
possession
,
their
citie
and
territorie
with
the
reuenues
:
together
their
ships
,
and
all
other
their
appurtenances
.
Item
that
the
town
of
Munychie
should
continue
and
remaine
in
the
possession
of
Cassander
,
vntill
he
had
finished
the
warres
against

Kings
.
Also
that
the
gouernaunce
therof
,
should
be

and

,

,
that
the
gouernor
thereof
should

,
&
such
one
as
Cassandre
wold
nominate
&

.
These
articles
agreed
vpon
,
Cassander
deputed
Demetre
Phalare
ruler
of
the
Citie
,
Demetre

.
who
peaceably

gouerned
it

After
Nicanor
was
arriued
at
Pirey
,
with

victorious
army
,
Cassander
receyued
him
honorably

But
when
he
sée
him
shortly
after
to
be
ouer
glorious
&
insolent
,
&
that
Munychie
was
garrisoned
by
his
souldiers
,
he
therfore
fearing
some
secrete
mischief
,
traiterously
put
him
to
death

This
done

he
made

voyage
into

Many
Cities

it
were
with
a
violent
desire

drew
to

thought

vnwisely

cowardly
ruled

gouerned
the

of

that

and
the
Samnites
,
the
Romaines
warred
not
so
openly
,
as
they
had
vpon
them
the
yeares
before
vsed
:
but
by
farrages
and
pillages
,
wasted
and
spoyled
the
Countrey
of
the
Samnites
,
without
any
other
déede
worthie
the
talke
.
And
after
the
same
maner
,
they
spoyled
and
wasted
the
countrey
of
Damie
in
the
Region
of
Pouylle
,
and
there
by
composition
tooke
the
Citie
of
Canouse
,
Canouse
.
enforcing
the
Cities
to
render
them
hostages
and
pledges
:
bringing
likewise
vnder
their
obeisance
the
Cities
of
Phalerne
and
Ophartine
.
At
that
tyme
had
the
Crotonians
made
an
appointment
with
the
Brutians
,
that
they
might
the
better
continue
and
maintayne
the
warres
against
the
exiles
of
their
citie
,
who
were
reconciled
to
Heraclides
&
Sosistrate
,
as
we
haue
declared
in
the
booke
precedent
.
And
bycause
the
same
warres
had
alreadie
continued
two
yeares
,
they
chose
for
their
Captayns
and
Chieftaynes
of
warre
that
yeare
,
Paron
and
Menedeme
,
men
greatly
renowmed
for
their
experience
in
martiall
factes
and
warlike
pollicies
.
Notwithstanding
,
the
exiles
of
Thury
by
night
came
with
thrée
hundred
marcenaries
,
and
thought
by
stealth
to
take
the
Citie
of
Crotone
:
Howbeit
,
they
were
repulsed
.
Wherefore
they
retired
into
the
territorie
of
the
Brutians
,
&
shortly
after
were
discomfited
and
ouerthrowen
there
,
by
the
said
Crotonians
,
who
charged
them
with
mightie
power
.
And
for
this
time
we
will
leaue
speaking
of
the
things
done
in
Italie
,
and
make
mention
of
those
exploited
in
the
other

Olympias
Alexander
his
mother
,
by
meane
of
Polispercon
obtayneth
the
gouernement
of
the
Realme
of
Macedone
,
causeth
King
Philip
and
Euridice
his
wife
to
be
executed
,
and
besides
vseth
many
other
cruelties
.
The
.ij.
Chapter
.
IN
that
season
Quéene
Euridice
(
who
had
the
ordering
and
disposing
of
the
affaires
of
Macedone
,
Euridice
.
)
vnderstanding
that
Olympias
made
preparation
to
come
into
the
said
Realme
,
sent
a
messanger
of
hirs
to
Cassander
in
Peloponese
,
praying
him
that
he
would
out
of
hand
come
to
helpe
and
ayde
hir
:
And
through
great
giftes
and
large
promises
,
she
wan
the
Princes
&
Barons
of
Macedone
.
Notwithstanding
Polispercon
assembled
a
mightie
armie
,
and
with
the
King
of
Epyre
accompanied
and
conducted
the
sayde
Olympias
,
together
the
sonne
of
Alexander
,
into
the
realme
of
Macedone
.
And
when
Olympias
had
intelligence
that
Euridice
was
with
hir
armie
encamped
in
a
countrey
of
the
Realme
called
Ema
,
she
with
an
armie
made
all
possible
spéede
against
hir
,
determining
to
hazarde
all
in
one
battaile
.
But
so
soone
as
the
two
armies
were
aranged
in
order
to
fight
,
the
Macedonians
with
Euridice
seing
the
person
of
Olympias
,
so
reuerenced
hir
for
the
remembraunce
of
hir
sonne
Alexander
,
&
the
good
turnes
that
he
had
done
them
,
that
they
rendred
to
the
sayde
Olympias
.
And
by
that
meane
was
king
Philip
with
his
familie
and
gard
taken
,
and
Euridice
wyth
Policles
one
of
hir
counsaylours
,
retired
into
the
Citie
of
Amphipolis
,
Amphipolis
.
where
not
long
after
she
also
was
taken
.
Thus
when
Olympias
had
taken
Philip
and
Euridice
prisoners
,
she
shortly
after
without
danger
seazed
on
the
realme
:
howbeit
she
very
vngently
entreated
them
.
For
first
she
caused
Euridice
and
hir
husband
to
be
detruded
into
so
straight
a
prison
,
that
they
coulde
scarse
tourne
them
within
,
and
had
their
meate
giuen
them
in
at
a
little
hole
.
And
after
they
had
bene
a
great
while
thus
miserably
dealt
withal
,
Olympias
perceiuing
that
the
Macedonians
for
very
compassion
that
they
had
of
the
said
captiues
maliced
hir
,
caused
king
Phillip
by
certaine
souldioures
of
Thrace
to
be
slaine
,
after
he
had
raigned
and
continued
king
six
yeares
and
foure
monethes
.
And
bicause
that
Euridice
somewhat
insolentlye
spake
,
and
saide
that
she
had
better
right
and
title
to
the
realme
than
Olympias
,
she
therfore
without
regard
either
of
the
late
dignitie
royall
that
the
sayde
Euridice
had
bene
in
,
or
yet
the
common
varietie
of
fortune
,
sent
hir
thrée
instruments
to
end
hir
life
withall
:
to
wete
,
a
sword
,
a
halter
,
and
poyson
,
willing
hir
to
choose
which
kinde
of
death
of
the
three
she
best
liked
.
Whereupon
as
maters
after
fel
out
,
Olympias
in
the
same
sort
miserably
ended
hir
life
.
For
when
the
thrée
kindes
of
death
wer
presented
Euridice
,
she
prayed
the
gods
that
such
presents
might
light
vpon
Olympias
.
And
after
she
had
adorned
the
bodie
of
hir
husbande
Phillip
slaine
in
hir
presence
,
and
stopped
vp
the
woundes
,
to
couer
the
deformitie
of
them
in
the
best
manner
she
could
,
with
hir
owne
girdle
strangled
hir selfe
,
neuer
sighing
nor
wéeping
,
eyther
yet
shewing
any
countenaunce
of
desire
to
liue
:
suche
was
the
greatnesse
and
courage
of
hir
heart
there
shewed
in
the
ende
of
hir
dayes
.
After
Olympias
had
thus
shamefully
put
them
to
death
,
she
made
Nicanor
Cassanders
brother
to
be
slaine
,
and
defaced
the
Tombe
and
monument
of
Iolas
hys
other
brother
,
to
reuenge
the
death
of
Alexander
hir
sonne
,
as
she
sayde
,
bicause
that
it
was
suspected
that
he
had
poysoned
him
,
in
gyuing
him
drynk
.
Ouer
and
besides
this
,
she
picked
and
wéeded
out
an
hundred
noble
men
of
Macedon
Cassanders
friends
,
and
caused
their
throtes
to
be
cut
.
Wherefore
the
people
of
the
countrey
séeing
hir
cruell
dealing
,
reduced
and
called
to
memorie
oft
times
the
wordes
of
Antipater
on
his
death
bed
,
The
prophecie
of
a
sage
man
whiche
dyed
.
prophecying
of
things
to
come
,
who
exhorted
them
to
beware
howe
they
gaue
the
regiment
of
a
realme
vnto
a
woman
.
In
thys
sorte
was
then
gouerned
the
realme
of
Macedon
,
which
euidently

,
that
there
was
very

Chapter
.
AFter
al
these
matters
,
it
is
méet
we
somwhat
speak
of
the
things
that
tyme
done
in
Asie
.
Eumenes
who
had
then
in
his
companie
the
Macedonians
Argiraspides
and
Antigene
their
captaine
,
wintred
in
the
Prouince
of
Babylon
,
in
the
chief
townes
of
the
marches
,
and
from
thence
sente
his
ambassadors
towards
Seleuke
and
Python
,
praying
and
exhorting
them
,
that
they
with
hym
would
ayde
the
Kings
against
the
rebell
Antigone
,
bycause
that
in
the
seconde
distribution
of
the
prouinces
made
at
Triparadis
,
was
giuen
to
the
sayde
Seleuke
the
Satrapie
of
Babylon
,
and
to
Python
,
Mede
.
Whom
they
then
aunswered
,
that
to
serue
the
Kyngs
they
were
at
commaundement
,
but
to
obey
Eumenes
,
by
the
Macedonians
adiudged
an
enimie
and
condempned
man
,
that
woulde
they
neuer
do
.
And
after
they
had
with
the
sayd
Embassadors
at
large
debated
the
matter
,
they
sente
a
counter
ambassade
to
Eumenes
and
the
Argiraspide●
,
to
persuade
them
that
of
right
they
ought
to
depose
Eumenes
from
his
authoritie
:
which
thyng
they
denied
:
wherfore
he
gaue
them
heartie
thankes
,
and
great
commendations
.
From
thence
departed
he
with
his
armie
,
and
encamped
on
the
riuer
Tygre
,
being
thrée
hundred
furlongs
from
the
Citie
of
Babylon
,
to
the
intent
to
come
to
Susie
,
and
get
the
fauours
of
the
Satrapes
of
the
hyer
countreys
,
and
helpe
hym selfe
with
the
treasure
of
the
Kings
as
he
thought
néedefull
.
Notwithstanding
in
the
ende
he
must
néedes
passe
the
riuer
,
bicause
on
that
side
where
he
remained
,
were
no
victuals
left
,
and
on
the
other
side
store
.
And
as
he
had
gotten
a
numbre
of
ships
,
to
put
ouer
hymselfe
and
his
armie
,
Seleuke
and
Python
therof
aduertised
,
rowed
down
the
riuer
in
two
galeys
of
thrée
tire
of
oares
,
and
many
brigantines
and
other
pinnaces
,
whiche
had
bene
there
builte
and
lefte
in
the
countrey
,
and
remained
from
the
time
of
Alexander
his
being
in
that
quarter
of
Babilon
.
And
as
soone
as
they
were
come
thither
,
they
nowe
a
freshe
practized
and
suborned
the
Argiraspides
,
willing
them
to
expulse
Eumenes
his
authoritie
,
saying
he
was
a
straunger
,
&
had
caused
many
Macedonians
to
be
slaine
.
But
when
they
sée
that
they
coulde
not
compasse
them
to
execute
the
same
,
the
Seleucians
rowed
downe
the
riuer
vnto
an
old
ditche
,
and
opened
the
mouth
therof
,
which
of
long
time
had
bene
stopped
vp
:
wherevpon
the
water
in
shorte
space
had
so
broken
and
runne
out
,
that
it
couered
and
ouerflowed
the
campe
of
the
Macedonians
,
and
all
the
countrey
rounde
about
,
who
being
therewith
in
greate
danger
,
&
not
knowing
all
the
day
how
to
remedie
it
,
armed
them
with
pacience
vntil
the
next
day
in
the
morning
that
they
had
gotten
together
their
pinnaces
and
barkes
,
to
the
numbre
of
.
CCC
.
or
therabouts
,
in
the
whiche
without
stoppe
they
put
ouer
the
greater
parte
of
the
armie
,
bicause
Seleuke
had
on
the
other
side
none
but
horsse
,
and
fewer
in
numbre
than
the
Macedonians
.
But
when
Eumenes
sée
nyght
drawe
on
,
and
the
greate
difficultie
and
hardenesse
to
put
ouer
the
baggage
,
hée
caused
those
that
were
already
passed
,
to
returne
.
And
by
the
aduise
and
counsell
of
certaine
peasantes
,
he
hollowed
and
clensed
a
place
of
the
ryuer
,
through
whiche
the
water
myght
runne
and
voyde
,
to
ouerthrowe
the
countrey
next
adioynyng
.
Whiche
thing
the
Seleucians
seing
,
and
desirous
to
discharge
them
their
countreye
,
incontinent
sent
messangers
towardes
them
,
by
whom
they
agréed
to
graunt
passage
and
truce
for
certain
days
.
They
sent
also
ambassadours
with
all
diligence
towardes
Antigone
in
Mesopotamie
,
requiring
hym
to
come
in
all
spede
with
his
whole
power
,
before
the
other
Satrapes
of
the
hier
Regions
came
downe
to
ioyne
wyth
Eumenes
and
the
Argiraspides
.
After
Eumenes
had
passed
the
Riuer
,
and
come
into
the
countrey
of
Susiane
,
he
deuided
hys
armie
into
thrée
partes
,
bycause
victuals
there
were
very
deare
.
For
they
neither
had
wheate
or
barley
,
but
of
other
graine
,
as
rice
,
and
the
fruict
of
palmes
growyng
in
that
cuntrey
great
abundance
,
which
he
by
measure
deuided
amongs
hys
souldiers

And
although
he
had
by
his
first
Ambassadors
sente
to
the
gouernours
of
the
higher
countreys
,
the
letters
patents
of
the
Kings
,
by
vertue
of
whiche
all
the
gouernoures
and
Captains
were
commaunded
to
obey
him
,
yet
sent
he
after
his
posts
,
requiring
them
with
all
their
power
&
force
to
mete
him
in
Susiane
,
at
which
tyme
the
rulers
had
leuied

gouerner

fearing

assembled
agaynst

&
vanquished
him
in

so
that
he
was
with
the
losse
of
a
greate
numbre
of
Souldiers
forced
to
abandon

Whereupon

to
craue

aide
and
succour

offring
to

By

The

Chapter
.
AFter
they
were
all
come
into
the
countrey
of
Susiane
,
and
had
ioyned
with
Eumenes
,
great
contention
arose
,
who
should
be
generall
of
the
armie
.
For
Penceste
said
that
he
ought
to
be
perferred
vnto
it
,
both
for
the
greatnesse
of
his
numbre
,
and
also
for
his
estimation
&
prerogatiue
during
Alexander
his
life
.
Agayne
,
Antigene
Captayne
of
the
Argiraspides
sayd
,
that
the
chosing
of
the
generall
,
appertayned
to
him
and
the
Argiraspides
,
bycause
it
were
they
which
in
Alexander
his
companie
had
conquered
the
countrey
of
Asie
,
and
through
their
vertue
and
prowes
stood
alwayes
inuincible
.
When
●
umenes
see
and
perceyued
their
controuersie
,
and
fearing
that
by
their
intestine
dissention
Antigone
might
easely
ouerthrow
them
,
he
was
of
the
aduise
not
to
appoint
one
sole
Generall
or
chief
,
but
looke
which
of
the
Satrapies
&
Captaynes
soeuer
that
the
multitude
thought
most
worthie
and
renowmed
,
should
dayly
assemble
in
the
Kings
pauylion
,
which
he
had
made
readie
to
be
pitched
,
wheresoeuer
they
were
,
in
the
middest
whereof
should
si●
te
the
statue
or
image
of
Alexander
in
a
Throne
Imperiall
,
vn●
er
a
sumptuous
tabernacle
or
clothe
of
estate
:
and
after
seruice
done
,
to
deuise
and
talke
of
the
vrgent
and
publique
affaires
.
Which
opinion
was
amongs
them
all
thoughte
good
&
resonable
.
And
after
they
had
agréed
vpon
this
,
they
assembled
and
mette
togethers
as
they
commonly
doe
in
Cities
gouerned
by
the
best
and
worshipfullest
Citizens
,
after
the
maner
Democraticke
.
And
immediatly
vpon
their
comming
to
the
Citie
of
Suse
,
Eumenes
commaunded
the
kings
Treasurers
to
deliuer
him
suche
summes
of
money
as
he
thought
necessarie
to
be
employed
&
defraide
about
the
affaires
of
the
warres
.
For
the
kings
had
commaunded
them
to
gyue
him
what
he
would
aske
.
After
whiche
receipt
,
he
payed
the
Macedonians
for
sixe
monthes
,
and
gaue
to
Eudame
the
Indian
,
who
brought
the
Elephants
,
two
hundred
Talents
as
it
were
for
the
hier
of
his
beasts
,
but
to
say
trueth
,
it
was
to
make
him
his
friende
.
For
he
thought
who
so
euer
of
the
Satrapes
would
stand
agaynst
him
,
if
he
ioyned
with
him
,
he
should
(
through
the
vse
of
the
said
beastes
being
in
warres
very
terrible
)
be
greatly
strengthned
.
And
for
the
rest
of
the
Souldiers
which
wer
not
Macedonians
,
euery
of
the
Satrapes
maintayned
his
with
the
reuenue
of
his
Satrapie
.
While
Eumenes
laye
thus
at
Suse
,
he
greatly
encreased
&
strengthned
his
armie
.
And
as
for
Antigone
,
he
determined
after
winter
once
past
ouer
in
Mesopotame
,
to
assaile
him
before
the
other
Satrapes
shoulde
ioyne
with
him
.
But
when
he
vnderstood
they
were
alreadie
ioyned
,
he
altered
his
minde
,
and
assembled
a
new
armie
to
strengthen
that
he
hadde
,
knowing
right
well
,
that
the
warres
by
him
entreprised
,
required
great
power
.
¶
How
eight
prisoners
,
Alcete

souldiers
,
through
their
great
prowes
escape
,
and
take
the
towne
wherin
they
are
emprisoned
,
and
in
the
end
againe
taken

were
in

and
taken
with
him
at
the
ouerthrowe

and
euer
after
in
a
verie
strong
Castle
emprisoned
,
vnderstanding
that
Antigone
was
gone
into

,
thinking
it
then
good
time
to

,
practized
and
wanne
some
of
their
keepers
to
be
loosed
,
whereby
they
seyzed
on

other
Souldiers

which
garded
them
,
and
about
midnight
being
but
eight
,
violently
ranne
vpon
their

which
were
aboue

hundred
:
neuerthelesse
they
wer
of
greter
corage
than
their

,
&
somtime

Souldiers
.
And
first
,
they
threw

heigth
of
the
wals
into
the
ditch
.
Xenopithe
Captayne
of
the
Castle
,
being
aboue
a
furlong
of
height
:
and
for
the
rest
,
some
they
slew
,
cast
some
out
of
the
Castle
,
and
after
set
fire
on
certain
houses
without
,
&
tooke
into
them
fi●
tie
of
their
houlshold
seruaunts
,
who
alwayes
had
attended
abroad
,
looking
when
the
enterprise
would
take
place
.
By
which
meane
they
seized
on
a
very
strong
Castle
,
and
furnished
with
al
things
necessary
:
neuerthelesse
,
they
were
in
great
deceptation
and
doubt
,
whether
to
tarrie
there
&
attend
the
comming
of
Eumenes
,
since
they
were
strongly
placed
&
well
victualed
,
or
whether
to
aduenture
through
the
countrey
whatsoeuer
betid
them
.
Docine
was
of
the
opinion
to
go
out
,
and
Attale
contrary
,
saying
,
that
through
their
long
detention
in
prison
,
which
hadde
much
féebled
their
persons
,
they
wer
not
able
to
endure
any
warlike
labours
.
And
while
they
thus
contended
(
certen
souldiers
of
the
next
villages
to
the
number
of
.v.
thousand
footmen
and
four
thousand
horse
,
assembled
with
aboue
four
thousand
paysantes
whiche
they
had
gotten
together
sodainly
,
vnder
suche
a
Captayne
as
they
had
chosen
)
preuented
and
besieged
them
.
When
Docine
sée
and
apperceyued
that
they
were
agayn
enclosed
,
he
had
espied
a
certaine
secrete
way
of
the
Towne
vngarded
,
by
whiche
he
let
downe
a
messanger
of
his
,
Stratonice
.
and
sent
him
towardes
Stratonice
Antigone
his
wife
abiding
thereby
,
praying
hir
to
take
pitie
and
compassion
on
him
.
And
not
tarrying
for
aunswere
,
but
t●
inking
to
escape
,
tumbled
him selfe
twofold
downe
the
wal
,
where
he
was
without
suertie
taken
and
cast
in
prison
.
But
the
other
whiche
came
out
before
him
,
the
enimie
racked
,
to
make
him
confesse
and
shew
the
passage
whiche
he
and
the
said
Docine
came
out
at
:
which
he
did
,
so
that
by
his
meane
and
conduct
,
they
wanne
and
tooke
one
of
the
rocks
the
castle
stoode
on
,
although
almost
impregnable
&
inaccessible
.
Neuerthelesse
,
the
Captaynes
within
,
albeit
few
in
number
,
through
their
great
vertue
and
prowes
so
valianntly
them
defended
,
that
they
resisted
and
kept
them
out
a
yeare
and
foure
moneths
before
they
could
be
vanquished
,
fighting
almost
euerie
daye
,
and
in
the
ende
,
were
taken
by
force
And
now
for
whi●
e
we
will
leaue
of
this
matter
and
re●
orne
to
Antigone
,
making
mention
of
that
he
did
.
¶
Antigone
being
come
into
Babylon
,
and
ioyning
with
Seleuk●
and
Pithon
,
is
by
Eumenes
repulsed
the
passage
of
Tygre
,
to
the
great
losse
&
slaughter
of
his
people
.
The
.vij.
Chapter
.
THe
same
yeare
that
Democlade
was
Pretor
of
Athens
,
and
Caye
Iune
and
Quinte
Emilye
were
Consulles
at
Rome
,
and
that
Denomene
of
Laoco●
ia
won
the
prise
at
the
running
in
the
Olympiade
the
Cxvj.
Antigone
departed
out
of
Mesopotamie
,
and
with
his
power
came
into
Babylon
where
he
founde
Seleuke
and
Python
,
who
there
ioyned
with
him
.
Shortly
after
,
they
made
a
bridge
with
their
ships
ouer
the
Riuer
of
Tygre
,
vpon
which
they
set
ouer
their
armies
,
and
after
marched
against
the
enimie
.
Which
thing
when
Eumenes
and
the
other
Satrapes
and
Captaynes
with
him
vnderstood
,
gaue
first
in
commaundement
to
Xenophile
Captayne
of
the
Castle
of
Suse
,
Xenophile
.
not
to
deliuer
to
Antigone
any
of
the
money
in
his
custodie
,
nor
yet
once
to
communicate
&
talke
with
him
.
That
done
,
they
departed
the
Citie
,
and
came
all
together
to
the
Riuer
of
Tygre
,
from
the
said
Citie
about
a
dayes
iourney
,
adioyning
the
mountaine
in
that
Region
,
wherein
inhabit
and
dwell
certayne
people
called
the
Vsians
,
liuing
at
libertie
.
The
breadth
of
whiche
in
many
places
thereabout
,
is
commonly
thrée
and
foure
furlongs
ouer
,
and
the
midst
of
the
streame
as
déepe
as
the
height
of
an
Elephant
,
running
through
the
countrey
from
the
mountaines
aboue
.vij.
hundred
furlongs
,
and
falleth
into
the
red
Sea
.
It
is
also
full
of
Sea
fishe
and
monsters
whiche
shew
them selues
after
the
first
entring
of
the
Canicular
dayes
.
When
Eumenes
and
his
companions
were
there
arriued
,
they
encamped
about
the
banks
of
the
riuer
next
to
the
Sea
side
,
attending
the
enimie
.
And
bycause
they
wanted
men
for
the
garding
of
the
said
riuer
,
Eumenes
&
Antigene
required
Penceste
to
send
for
,
out
of
Perse
,
ten
thousand
Archers
and
other
shot
,
who
sligthly
gaue
them
the
hearing
,
bycause
he
was
not
chosen
generall
of
the
army
.
But
after
he
had
considered
that
if
Antigone
wonne
the
victorie
,
he
should
lose
his
Satrapes
,
and
stand
in
daunger
of
his
life
,
and
that
hauing
a
greater
number
he
might
the
easlier
obtayne
victorie
,
accorded
their
requestes
,
and
sent
for
ten
thousand
Persians
shot
more
.
And
although
some
of
the
said
Persians
were
thirtie
dayes
iourney
from
the
place
where
the
campe
laye
,
yet
in
one
day
they
hadde
newes
and
were
by
a
maruelous
industrie
aduertised
of
the
message
.
Maruellous
industrie
.
And
bycause
it
is
a
thing
at
the
first
sight
,
hard
to
be
beléeued
,
I
therefore
meane
to
tell
in
what
order
and
maner
it
was
done
.
And
first
,
thou
must
presupose
that
the
Countrey
of
Perse
is
all
hilly
and
full
of
little
mountaynes
:
wherefore
they
had
appointed
certaine
people
of
the
Countrey
,
and
especially
suche
as
hadde
the
loudest
and
shrillest
voices
,
to
stand
in
the
hiest
places
of
the
mountaines
to
kéepe
watch
so
néere
one
another
,
that
they
which
made
a
loude
noise
,
might
both
be
hard
&
vnderstood
,
and
by
that
meane
they
declared
from
one
to
another
,
that
which
was
commaunded
by
the
sound
of
the
first
watch
,
euen
to
the
ende
and
farthest
partes
of
the
Countrey
.
Then
Eumenes
and
Penceste
,
hauing
regarde
with
their
host
to
that
before
sayd
:
Antigone
with
his
whole
armie
entred
the
Citie
of
Suse
,
and
there
proclaymed
Seleuke
gouernour
of
that
Prouince
.
And
bycause
Xenophile
Captayne
of
the
Castle
and
kéeper
of
the
treasure
,
refused
to
obey
him
,
he
appointed
a
number
of
his
men
of
warre
to
tarrie
and
besiege
him
,
and
him selfe
with
the
rest
sette
forth
against
the
enimie
,
throughe
a
hoate
countrey
,
very
daungerous
and
painfull
to
a
people
of
another
Nation
:
wherefore
he
was
forced
to
trauell
by
night
,
and
at
the
Sunne
rysing
to
soiorne
about
the
Riuer
:
so
that
he
could
no
way
escape
without
losse
of
many
men
,
by
reason
of
the
feruent
heat
,
and
chiefly
being
about
the
canicular
dayes
.
And
incontinent
after
he
was
come
to
the
place
he
would
be
at
,
he
made
readie
all
things
méete
and
necessarie
for
his
passage
.
Now
was
he
in
the
same
corner
or
boought
,
that
the
Riuer
of
Tygre
descending
from
the
Mountaynes
entreth
Pasitigre
,
Pasitigre
.
distaunt
from
the
Camp
of
Eumenes
foure
score
furlongs
,
and
commonly
aboue
foure
oxgangs
broade
:
and
besides
that
,
the
Riuer
was
so
violent
and
swift
,
that
it
was
impossible
to
passe
ouer
without
a
bridge
or
ships
.
Wherefore
taking
some
cockes
and
long
boates
,
he
put
ouer
a
certain
numbre
of
his
men
,
commaunding
them
,
that
as
soone
as
they
were
on
the
other
side
,
to
entrenche
and
strengthen
them
with
ditches
and
trenches
,
kéeping
good
watch
vntill
the
rest
were
come
ouer
.
Whereupon
Eumenes
by
hys
intelligencers
aduertised
,
passed
and
came
ouer
the
bridge
which
he
had
made
ouer
the
riuer
Tygre
,
with
foure
thousand
footemen
,
and
a
thousande
and
thrée
hundred
horse
,
to
charge
Antigone
his
Souldiers
already
passed
,
being
néere
about
thrée
thousande
footemen
,
and
foure
hundred
horse
,
and
of
forragers
,
victuallers
and
such
like
whiche
went
before
to
make
prouision
of
victuals
,
aboue
six
thousand
.
And
first
,
he
charged
the
disordered
and
straglers
,
so
that
at
his
first
arriuall
he
put
some
to
flight
,
and
in
the
ende
caused
all
the
Macedonians
whiche
stood
to
their
defence
,
he
runne
into
the
Riuer
,
bycause
he
had
the
greater
number
,
and
therefore
he
charged
them
lustely
.
And
for
that
euerie
man
was
gladde
to
saue
him selfe
,
they
made
such
spéede
to
their
shippes
to
haue
repassed
,
that
with
an
ouercharge
,
the
greater
numbre
sonke
,
and
the
rest
which
thought
to
be
saued
,
assayed
to
swimme
,
but
few
or
none
escaped
drowning
,
by
reason
of
the
violence
and
swiftnesse
of
the
Riuer
.
And
they
whiche
thought
better
to
render
to
the
mercie
of
the
enimie
,
than
to
be
drenched
in
the
water
,
were
taken
prisoners
,
being
aboue
foure
thousand
.
And
although
Antigone
see
before
his
eyes
so
great
an
ouerthrow
of
his
Souldiers
,
yet
could
he
by
no
meane
remedie
it
,
The
Citie
of
Bedace
.
by
reason
of
the
want
of
shippes
.
Wherefore
considering
it
was
impossible
to
passe
,
he
returned
&
went
to
the
Citie
of
Bedace
,
standing
vpon
the
Riuer
Eule
.
The
ryuer
of
Eule
.
But
bycause
it
was
in
the
middest
of
Sommer
,
and
the
Countrey
maruellous
hoate
,
he
lost
in
traueling
,
many
of
his
Souldiers
:
wherefore
the
rest
of
the
Souldiers
were
almost
in
despaire
,
but
after
that
they
had
reposed
them selues
and
soiourned
in
the
same
Citie
a
certaine
time
,
they
were
well
refreshed
,
and
tooke
then
better
harte

¶
Of
Antigone
his
comming
with
his
armie
into
the
countrey
of
Mede
,
and
the
daungers
and
harde
passage
he
hath
vpon
the
way
.
The
.ix.
Chapter
.
WHen
Antigone
had
certain
dayes
in
the
Citie
of
Bedace
,
well
refreshed
his
armie
,
he
determined
to
marche
therewith
into
the
Region
of
Ecbathane
in
the
countrey
of
Mede
,
hoping
thereby
to
conquer
the
hie
Countreis
.
And
although
there
were
two
wayes
to
passe
into
Mede
,
yet
was
it
a
hard
matter
for
him
,
without
interruption
and
let
to
get
through
any
of
both
.
For
the
way
by
the
mannured
lande
,
was
fayre
&
excellent
,
but
very
hoat
and
little
lesse
than
.xl.
dayes
iourney
.
But
the
other
,
leading
through
the
Countrey
of
the
Eosians
,
was
very
short
and
close
,
howbeit
,
colde
,
sharpe
,
straight
,
hilly
and
barren
,
and
the
enimies
countrey
:
so
that
it
had
ben
very
difficult
without
the
good
wils
of
the
paysaunts
to
passe
an
army
,
being
a
people
which
time
out
of
mind
had
alwayes
lyued
at
libertie
,
dwelling
in
caues
,
&
liuing
with
acornes
,
mushrubbes
and
the
fleshe
of
sauage
and
wilde
beastes
poudered
.
Neuerthelesse
,
Antigone
hauing
so
mightie
an
armie
,
thought
it
ouer
great
a
shame
to
pray
and
require
suche
paysauntlie
slaues
of
passage
&
recourse
.
Wherefore
determining
to
take
that
waye
,
he
chose
out
of
the
whole
army
the
targe
carriers
,
archers
,
&
all
other
shot
and
light
armed
men
,
which
were
the
lustiest
fellowes
and
most
aduenterours
,
and
deuided
them
into
two
bands
,
whereof
the
charge
of
the
one
he
gaue
Nearche
,
Nearche
.
commaunding
him
to
march
before
,
and
to
winne
the
most
méete
and
conuenient
passages
.
And
the
other
bande
he
deuided
,
and
set
al
alongs
the
way
in
diuerse
places
,
as
occasion
serued
.
Then
him selfe
marched
on
with
the
phalange
or
battail
of
footemen
,
and
committed
the
rereward
to
Python
.
But
the
first
which
were
sent
out
,
after
they
had
won
certain
trifling
passages
to
no
purpose
,
&
not
the
passages
most
necessarie
,
the
paysaunts
at
hande
,
so
stoutly
charged
them
,
that
they
slew
a
great
number
,
and
the
rest
very
hardly
escaped
.
And
Antigone
comming
on
with
his
battail
of
footmen
,
thinking
to
win
the
straightes
,
was
in
great
daunger
,
which
by
no
meanes
could
be
remedyed
.
For
the
paysants
knowing
the
ways
and
straightes
of
the
passages
,
had
preuented
them
,
and
from
the
tops
of
the
rocks
,
cast
and
tumbled
downe
agaynst
the
souldiers
as
they
marched
,
huge
and
mighty
stones
.
They
had
also
great
strength
of
bowes
,
wherwith
they
hurt
and
galled
the
enimie
,
bicause
they
coulde
neyther
defende
nor
yet
eschue
the
dinte
of
the
shotte
,
by
reason
of
the
hardnesse
of
the
way
,
which
was
stiepe
and
almost
inaccessible
:
so
that
the
Elephants
,
horsemen
,
and
the
armed
footemen
,
coulde
no
waye
succoure
them
,
for
that
that
they
were
in
as
greate
daunger
,
or
more
than
the
rest
.
Then
acknowleged
he
his
fault
,
and
repented
him
that
he
had
not
beléeued
and
followed
the
aduise
&
counsel
of
Python
&
other
his
friendes
,
for
buying
of
the
passage
.
Notwithstanding
in
the
ende
he
so
valiantly
and
wisely
bare
hym selfe
,
that
he
had
wythin
nyne
dayes
,
with
great
losse
,
maruelous
daunger
and
sore
trauaile
of
his
souldiers
,
gotten
the
countrey
habitable
of
Mede
.
Wherfore
they
were
so
mutinous
,
that
euery
man
complained
,
cried
out
,
and
spake
very
euill
words
of
hym
.
And
to
saye
the
truthe
,
for
the
space
of
.xliij.
dayes
,
they
had
abidden
many
maruellous
aduentures
,
and
suffered
intollerable
mischeues
.
Howbeit
he
with
swéete
words
and
stoare
of
victuals
appeased
their
mutinie
,
and
well
refreshed
them
,
and
after
commaunded
Python
to
trauaile
through
the
whole
countrey
of
Mede
,
there
to
leuie
so
many
horsmen
&
horses
as
he
coulde
get
.
Whiche
commaundement
he
diligently
executed
,
and
in
shorte
time
,
bicause
the
region
was
well
furnished
with
horse
and
other
bestiall
:
he
brought
.ij.
thousande
lusty
horsemen
,
and
very
neere
a
thousande
spare
horsse
,
well
appointed
for
the
warres
:
And
of
al
other
kinde
of
cattel
,
as
Mares
,
and
such
like
bearing
beasts
,
so
many
as
suffised
the
whole
armie
:
and
bisides
broughte
.v.
hundred
talents
of
the
tresure
royall
on
the
emptie
horses
.
Then
remounted
Antigone
all
those
which
had
loste
their
horses
:
and
amongs
the
reste
diuided
the
other
bestiall
.
Which
liberall
dealing
,
brought
him
againe
in
fauoure
with
his

of

The

Chapter
.
AFter
Eumenes
&
the
Satrapes
with
him
,
vnderstode
of
Antigone
his
commyng
into
Alcide
,
they
called
many
counsells
,
and
were
of
diuers
opinions
.
For
Eumenes
and
Antigene
captaine
of
the
Argiraspides
,
and
all
the
rest
whiche
came
out
of
the
lowe
countrey
,
dyd
thinke
it
méetest
and
moste
for
their
safetie
to
go
towardes
the
sea
from
whence
they
came
.
But
the
Satrapes
of
the
hye
countreys
,
hauing
special
regard
to
their
owne
particular
case
,
sayd
,
that
the
best
were
to
march
into
the
higher
regions
.
When
the
dissention
thus
encreased
and
waxed
hoter
,
Eumenes
foreséeing
,
that
if
the
armie
should
be
deuided
and
dispersed
,
either
part
then
should
be
to
weake
to
encounter
the
enimie

condescended
to
the
Satrapes
of
the
high
cuntreys
.
Wherupon
they
remoued
their
Campe
from
the
Ryuer
of
Pasitigre
,
and
marched
on
to
Persepolis
,
The
Citie
of
Persepolis
.
the
honourablest
citie
of
Perse
,
being
about
.xxviij.
dayes
iorney
,
a
countrey
very
hilly
,
the
one
way
lying
beneath
the
mountaines
very
hotte
and
barrein
of
all
kindes
of
victuals
,
and
the
other
a
hie
countrey
,
very
holsome
,
and
a
good
aire
,
ful
of
al
kindes
of
pleasant
fruites
.
It
was
also
ful
of
valeys
,
close
and
shodowy
,
and
gardens
abounding
with
all
sorts
of
trées
,
and
frutes
,
great
store
of
fountaines
likewise
running
with
cléere
waters
,
makyng
the
countrey
maruellous
pleasaunt
and
delectable
,
whiche
caused
the
passengers
to
desire
to
rest
and
soiorne
there
.
Moreouer
there
wer
many
faire
chases
,
and
greate
plentie
of
wilde
beastes
,
wherof
the
peasantes
brought
to
Penceste
greate
abundance
,
whiche
he
gaue
and
bestowed
vppon
the
men
of
warre
,
to
get
and
win
their
loue
and
good
wils
.
There
are
also
in
that
region
for
archers
and
other
shotte
,
the
best
Souldiers
within
the
whole
countreye
of
Perse.
When
they
were
at
last
arriued
in
the
Citie
royall
of
Persepolis
,
Penceste
gouerner
of
the
same
countrey
,
made
a
solempne
sacrifice
to
Philip
and
Alexander
,
as
to
theyr
Gods
,
and
after
the
sacrifice
,
a
greate
and
sumptuous
banket
to
the
whole
campe
,
aboundyng
in
all
sortes
of
meates
,
brought
from
all
the
partes
of
the
countrey
.
And
for
the
assemble
of
the
men
of
warre
,
he
made
readie
a
place
abroade
in
the
fieldes
,
with
.iiij.
round
circles
like
vnto
a
cloister
,
one
with
in
an
other
egally
distant
,
the
seconde
bigger
than
the
first
,
&
all
the
reste
in
mete
proportion
,
so
that
the
vttermoste
which
inclosed
the
other
thrée
,
was
.x.
furlongs
about
,
in
whiche
sate
the
mercenarie
souldiers
and
straungers
.
In
the
seconde
sat
the
Argiraspides
Macedonians
,
and
the
Souldiers
which
serued
with
Alexander
in
his
warrs
.viij.
furlongs
in
compasse
.
In
the
thirde
were
the
extraordinarie
captaines
horsemen
,
and
all
other
the
speciall
friends
of
the
Satrapes
,
and
other
chieftaines
,
being
foure
furlongs
aboute
.
In
the
last
which
was
two
furlongs
round
,
sat
the
Dukes
,
and
chief
rulers
of
the
armie
,
the
captaines
of
the
horsmen
,
and
the
princes
of
Perse
there
.
In
the
middest
of
the
last
circle
stode
the
altars
of
the
Gods
,
the
tabernacle
of
Alexander
and
Philip
,
whose
seates
were
made
of
leaues
and
trées
bearing
frute
,
and
the
residue
couered
with
faire
and
riche
tapistrie
,
wherof
the
countrey
of
Perse
aboundeth
,
being
full
of
delices
and
thyngs
of
pleasure
.
The
distances
of
the
circles
were
in
that
sort
drawen
out
,
to
the
ende
that
they
which
sat
in
the
one
,
should
be
no
let
or
stop
to
those
in
the
other
:
and
euery
circle
had
his
officers
and
ministers
,
kitchins
,
and
all
other
houses
of
office
,
in
such
order
and
so
many
,
that
the
great
diligence
and
prouidence
of
Penceste
,
might
therin
be
well
vnderstoode
and
knowne
.
By
meane
wherof
he
greatly
wanne
the
fauoure
and
good
willes
of
all
the
companie
.
Which
thyng
Eumenes
perceyuing
,
and
knowing
he
went
about
to
win
the
souldiers
fauours
to
bée
made
generall
,
and
to
obtaine
the
principalitie
,
counterfaited
&
forged
certaine
false
and
surmised
letters
,
by
whiche
he
animated
the
Souldiers
to
warre
,
wherewith
he
soone
abated
Penceste
his
audacitie
and
ambition
,
and
brought
him self
into
greater
authoritie
and
reputation
,
in
whome
also
the
men
of
warre
had
greate
hope
and
confidence
.
The
contents
of
the
letters
were
these
:
How
that
Olympias
had
brought
the
yong
sonne
of
Alexander
into
Macedone
,
had
slayne
Caslander
,
and
peaceably
enioyed
the
realm
.
And
that
Polispercon
,
with
the
greatest
parte
of
the
armie
royall
and
all
the
Elephantes
,
was
gone
into
Asie
,
to
war
on
Antigone
,
&
was
already
in
Cappadoce
.
Whiche
letters
.
were
written
in
the
Syrian
tongue
,
subscribed
in
the
name
of
Oronte
Satrapa
of
Armenie
,
Penceste
his
great
friend
,
and
therfore
bare
the
more
credit
.
Then
Eumenes
caused
them
to
be
caried
to
all
the
Satrapes
and
captaines
to
be
séene
,
and
after
published
them
to
the
whole
armie
.
By
reason
of
whiche
letters
,
all
the
host
then
thought
that
Eumenes
might
aduaunce
to
the
kings
whome
he
woulde
,
and
punishe
those
he
hated
.
And
the
more
to
put
and
kéepe
in
terrour
and
feare
suche
as
were
disobedient
and
desirous
of
authoritie
,
he
called
to
iudgement
Sybirte
,
Satrapa
of
Aracose
,
and
great
friend
to
Pencest
,
whome
he
accused
,
saying
that
he
had
sent
some
of
his
horse
against
the
Aracothes
,
without
knowledge
of
the
assemble
and
counsel
,
and
therfore
required
that
he
might
be
discharged
,
and
all
his
treasure
and
goodes
confiscate
.
Wherevpon
he
put
him
in
such
perill
and
danger
,
that
if
he
had
not
secretly
fled
,
he
had
bene
slaine
by
the
multitude
of
the
Souldiers
.
Notwithstandyng
,
after
he
had
by
that
meane
put
the
other
in
feare
,
and
recouered
his
authoritie
,
he
returned
to
his
accustomed
humanitie
and
curtesie
,
and
through
faire
wordes
and
large
promises
he
reconciled
Penceste
,
and
made
hym
readie
and
tractable
to
employ
his
seruice
in
the
affaires
of
the
Kings
.
And
to
assure
him self
of
the
other
Satrapies
,
chieftains
&
captaines
,
and
to
haue
some
maner
guage
of
them
,
to
serue
in
steade
of
hostages
,
he
fained
the
want
of
money
,
praying
euery
of
them
to
lend
him
as
much
as
they
coulde
spare
,
for
the
affaires
of
the
kings
.
Whiche
they
did
,
so
that
he
borowed
of
those
whom
he
chiefly
suspected
,
the
iust
summe
of
.
CCCC
.
talents
.
By
which
mean
he
thought
him
so
sure
of
them
,
that
they
would
not
work
him
any
falshode
or
treason
,
nor
yet
once

asyde
from
him

whom
he
after
kept

WHen
Eumenes
had
thus
prouided
for
all
things
that
might
happen
as
aforesayde

newes
were
brought
out
of
Mede
,
howe
Antigone
with
his
whole
power
was
commyng
into
Perse
,
which
Eumenes
vnderstanding
,
immediatly
toke
his
iourney
wyth
hys
whole
armie
,
determining
to
be
there
before
him
,
to
the
ende
to
giue
battaile
.
Whereupon
he
sacrificed
to
the
Gods
,
and
that
done
,
royally
banketted
the
Princes
captaines
and
men
of
warre
,
bicause
he
would
giue
them
greater
occasion
of
affection
and
loue
towardes
him
.
And
for
that
they
should
thinke
he
wold
at
ful
please
them
,
he
pledged
so
many
as
dronke
vnto
hym
,
by
reason
wherof
he
fell
into
a
grieuous
maladie
,
and
therfore
was
forced
to
repose
there
certaine
dayes
.
For
whose
cause
,
all
the
whole
armie
(
desirous
of
battaile
)
were
very
sorie
.
Neuerthelesse
,
after
some
amendement
and
recouerie
,
he
no
longer
stayed
his
iourney
,
but
being
carried
in
a
horselitter
,
hasted
on
the
aray
,
the
conduct
wherof
he
gaue
to
Pencest
and
Antigene
.
And
after
he
had
gotten
within
a
days
iorney
of
the
enimie
,
the
vauntcurrers
of
eche
side
gaue
intelligence
of
the
approch
of
one
an
other
,
wherfore
they
determined
on
both
sides
the
next
day
folowing
to
giue
battaile
.
Howbeit
by
reason
of
a
valley
and
Riuer
betwixte
them
,
besides
the
straightnesse
of
the
grounde
,
they
were
frustrate
of
their
purposes
and
determinations
.
Notwithstanding
they
aranged
on
either
side
their
battailes
,
and
encamped
not
aboue
.iij.
furlongs
one
from
an
other
:
and
for
.iiij.
dayes
together
,
they
onely
skirmished
with
shot
:
during
which
time
both
the
armies
had
wasted
and
consumed
all
the
victuals
in
the
countrey
néere
vnto
them
,
so
that
they
began
to
wante
.
The
fifte
day
folowing
Antigone
sent
his
ambassadors
towards
the
Satrapes
&
Macedonians
,
to
persuade
them
to
abandon
&
forsake
Eumenes
,
and
ioyne
with
him
,
promising
to
leaue
the
Satrapes
theyr
Satrapies
.
And
the
reste
whiche
would
not
folowe
the
campe
,
he
promised
to
some
greate
landes
and
possessions
,
and
to
sende
the
reste
honourably
with
large
giftes
home
into
their
countreys
:
and
so
many
as
minded
to
serue
,
he
was
contente
to
retaine
,
euery
one
according
to
his
astate
.
To
whiche
offers
and
gentle
wordes
the
Macedonians
gaue
no
eare
,
but
threatened
to
kill
the
messangers
,
if
they
departed
not
,
and
that
quickely
.
Which
thing
Eumenes
vnderstanding
,
came
towards
them

A

To

But
when
the

of

vntill

vnder
his
power
,
but
after
he
will
punyshe

.
When
he
had
thus
spoken
,
the
souldiers
beléeued
he
sayde
truthe
,
and
therevpon
the
assemble
brake
vp
.
When
night
came
,
certaine
which
fled
from
Antigone

campe
,
arriued
,
declaryng
that
he
was
trussyng
vp
his
baggage
,
and
that
at
the
seconde
watche
of
the
nyght
he
meant
to

.
When
Eumenes
vnderstoode
therof
,
he
imagened
that
he
would

the
countrey
of
Gabene
,
Gabene
.
being
but
thrée
dayes
iourney
off

bycause
it
stoode
whole
,
and
furnyshed
wyth
all
kindes
of
victuals
to
victuall
a
campe
for
a
long
time
,
and
besprinkled
wyth
ryuers
and
strong
valeys
very
harde
to
passe
.
For
which
cause
,
Eumenes
determyned
to
preuente
and
occupie
the
same
countrey
before
hym
,
and
therevpon
marched
forth
on
the
way
.
A
cautell
.
But
to
kéepe
the
enimie
in
the
meane
whyle
occupied
,
he
sent
certaine
of
hys
mercenarie
Souldiours
whome
he
hadde
corrupte
,
to
Antigone
hys
campe
,
who
shoulde
make
semblaunt
as
though
they
came
to
yelde
:
affirming
that
the
enimie
was
in
redinesse
to
come
and
assaile
them
that
night
in
their
campe
,
and
in
the
meane
tyme
,
commaunded
hys
souldiers
soone
after
they
had
supped
,
to
take
their
iourney
:
which
they
did
.
When
Antigone
vnderstoode
that
the
enimie
would
come
and
assaile
him
in
his
campe
,
he
stayed
his
armie
,
and
put
them
in
order
of
battaile
:
and
while
he
was
so
occupied
Eumenes
with
his
armie
had
trauailed
a
great
way
beyonde
them
before
it
was
perceyued
and
knowne
.
Neuerthelesse
after
he
was
by
his
scoute
aduertised
of
the
truthe
,
and
vnderstoode
the
craftie
dealyng
,
he
altered
not
his
purpose
,
but
commaunded
his
men
with
all
spéede
to
pursue
the
enimie
as
though
they
fledde
.
A
Stratageme
.
But
after
a
whiles
trauail
,
seing
the
enimie
six
houres
before
him
,
and
he
by
no
meane
able
to
ouertake
them
,
bethoughte
hym
of
this
policie
.
First
he
left
the
conduct
of
his
footemen
to
Python
,
to
bryng
them
on
with
reasonable
iorneys
,
and
he
vpon
the
spurre
wyth
his
horses
pursued
the
enimie
,
and
by
the
daye
breake
had
ouertaken
the
taile
as
they
were
descending
into
a
valey
.
So
he
taried
and
rested
him
vpon
the
top
of
a
mountayne
,
and
there
mustred
his
men
,
makyng
in
the
face
of
the
enimie
,
the
greatest
shew
he
could
:
Who
thinking
it
to
be
the
whole
armie
of
Antigone
,
stayed
and
put
themselues
in
order
of
battaile
,
determining
out
of
hande
to
fighte
.
In
thys
sorte
,
the
generals
of
either
armie
by
subtile
and
marciall
policies
,
deceyued
one
an
other
,
as
if
they
had
striued
whiche
of
them
had
ben
wisest
,
and
skilfullest
and
to
shew
that
the
victorie
greately
consisted
in
their
two
persons
.
And
by
this
deuise
hathe
Antigone
stayed
the
enimie
,
hauing
good
leysure
to
attende
for
his
footemen
:
and
after
they
were
come
,
they
aranged
their

and
then

The

Antigone
being

had
séene
the
order
which
Eumenes
kept

he
arranged

battails
as
hée
thought
for
the
best

For
seing
the
right
wyng
or
voward
of
the
ennimie
chiefly
fortified
with

he

meanyng
that
they
shoulde
not
choake

but
whéele
aboute
to

fro
,
thinkyng
therby
to
kéepe
them
occupied
in
that
wing
or
vowarde
,
wheron
they
most
trusted
,
so
that
they
should
do
nothing
.
And
right
ouer
against
the
battaile
of
footmen
of
the
enimie
,
he
placed
Arbalisters

With

number
and
in
this
order
was
furnyshed
and
placed

lefte
wing
or
rerewarde
vnder
the
conducte
of

After

marched

in
which
were

And

about
the
like
numbre
,
whom
Antipater
,
when
he
was
created
gouerner
of
the
kings
,
had
giuen
to
Antigone
●
And
in
the
right
wing
on
the
other
syde
of
the
phalang
,
trouped
the
mercenarie
horsmen
of
diuers
nations
,
being
about
fyue
hundred
:
after
them
a
thousande
Thracians
,
and
.v.
hundred
other
souldiers
,
which
came
thither
to
serue
:
behind
them
a
thousand
,
called
the
compaignions
or
aduenturers
whome
Demetre
the
son
of
Antigone
had
charge
of
,
which
was
the
firste
time
that
euer
he
came
into
the
fielde
wyth
his
father
in
battayle
.
Demetre
.
And
in
the
vttermoste
parte
of
the
righte
wyng
or
voward
was
Antigone
with
his
bande
of
of
foure
hundred
horse
,
deuided
into
thrée
cohorts
or
troupes
all
of
his
own
house
,
and
to
them
adioyned
a
hundred
Tarentines
.
On
the
front
before
the
sayd
right
wing
or
vowarde
were
placed
.xxx.
Elephants
,
whiche
embraced
the
whole
ryghte
wing
or
vowarde
in
forme
of
a
crosse
,
and
the
spaces
betwene
them
,
and
the
men
of
warre
,
he
furnished
with
light
armed
footemen
.
And
for
the
rest
of
the
Elephantes
,
he
placed
the
greater
parte
before
the
phalang
,
and
the
rest
before
the
left
wing
or
rereward
.
When
Antigone
had
in
this
order
aranged
his
battails
,
he
caused
them
to
marche
down
from
the
mountaine
in
order
,
and
not
afront
.
For
the
right
wing
or
vowarde
wherein
lay
all
his
hope
,
he
caused
to
marche
against
the
ennimie
,
meanyng
they
should
charge
all
alongest
the
flanke
of
the
enimie
.
But
the
left
wing
or
rerewarde
which
he
had
appointed
to
amuse
the
right
wing
or
voward
of
the
enimie
he
caused
to
march
straight
and
close
together
.
Howbeit
,
after
they
approched
,
and
the
trumphets
sounded
to
battail
,
the
horsmen
with
Python
,
seing
no
greter
power
against
them
,
and
they
more
in
numbre
and
farre
better
mounted
than
the
enimie
,
kept
not
the
order
of
amusing
them
,
according
as
they
were
appointed
,
but
stoutely
shewed
their
corages
.
And
bicause
that
in
the
fronte
of
that
wing
or
voward
were
the
elephantes
,
whiche
they
thought
not
good
to
assayle
,
they
wheled
about
.
And
after
they
had
passed
the
Elephantes
,
they
charged
them
on
the
flanke
,
in
which
they
slew
and
hurt
with
their
shotte
and
launces
a
great
numbre
,
and
the
enimy
no
way
could
hurt
them
,
by
reason
they
were
so
heauyly
armed
,
that
they
were
neuer
able
to
pursue
them
,
nor
yet
saue
them selues
when
they
were
charged
.
When
Eumenes
sée
that
,
he
called
oute
the
lightest
horsses
in
Eudame
his
bande
,
whiche
were
in
the
right
wing
or
vowarde
,
and
a
certain
numbre
of
footemen
lightly
armed
,
and
charged
the
sayde
Python
,
and
by
little
and
little
brought
on
the
Elephantes
in
the
same
wing
or
vowarde
,
&
by
that
meane
incontinente
he
put
the
enimie
to
flight
,
and
chased
them
harde
to
the
foote
of
the
mountaine
,
during
which
fight
,
the
two
battailes
of
footemen
fought
long
together
,
where
many
men
were
wounded
and
killed
,
but
in
the
ende
Eumenes
phalang
wanne
the
victorie
,
through
the
vertue
and
prowes
of
the
Argiraspides
Macedonians
,
all
olde
trained
Souldiers
,
who
had
oftentymes
bene
in
many
aduentures
and
daungers
,
and
thereby
became
so
valiaunt
and
hardie
,
that
fewe
or
none
were
able
to
abide
their
force
,
as
clearely
by
them
then
appeared
:
For
being
not
passyng
.iij.
thousande
men
,
theyr
bande
was
the
bulwarke
and
strength
of
the
whole
armie
,
and
therfore
placed
in
the
fronte
of
the
battaile
,
as
theyr
chief
strength
.
When
Antigone
sée
his
lefte
wing
or
rereward
put
to
flight
,
and
his
whole
phalang
turne
the
back
,
and
heard
his
friends
counsell
him
to
make
to
the
mountaine
,
to
put
in
order
his
men
which
were
fled
,
yet
would
he
not
:
but
with
the
bande
of
horse
about
him
,
he
so
profited
him selfe
,
and
vsed
the
oportunitie
of
the
mountayne
,
that
he
both
saued
his
fled
men
,
and
also
wanne
the
honor
of
the
fielde
.
For
after
he
sée
that
the
Argiraspides
and
the
rest
of
Eumenes
footemen
,
had
subsecuted
and
chased
his
Souldiers
vnto
the
foote
of
the
hill
,
and
had
therby
broken
their
aray
,
and
were
diuided
,
he
straightways
charged
the
flanke
of
Eumenes
right
wing
or
vowarde
,
which
Eudame
ledde
,
and
put
them
al
to
flight
,
bicause
that
where
as
they
thought
before
the
victorie
had
ben
theirs
,
and
then
being
so
sodenly
charged
,
they
became
so
amazed
,
that
many
of
them
were
slaine
.
Then
Antigone
forthwith
sent
out
certain
of
his
light
horse
to
staye
the
fled
footemen
and
retire
them
to
the
foote
of
the
Mountaine
,
which
was
speedely
done
,
and
there
he
put
them
againe
in
order
of
battail
.
When
Eumenes
vnderstoode
that
his
right
wing
or
vowarde
vnder
the
conduct
of
Eudame
was
put
to
flight
,
he
caused
to
sounde
the
retraict
,
and
sent
out
aide
to
retire
the
rest
which
had
the
enimie
in
chase
.
When
both
the
Chieftaynes
by
this
meane
had
retired
their
fledde
Souldiours
,
they
somewhat
before
night
got
them
together
,
and
againe
put
them
in
order
of
battaile
:
both
generals
,
Captaynes
and
Souldiers
,
on
either
side
were
so
obstinate
&
fierce
.
And
althoughe
it
drew
to
night
immediatly
after
,
yet
it
was
so
very
faire
&
cléere
,
that
they
might
sée
(
by
reason
the
Moone
was
at
the
full
)
one
another
.
And
besides
,
the
armies
were
so
néere
the
one
the
other
,
that
they
might
on
both
sides
heare
the
neighing
of
horses
,
and
clattering
of
armours
,
that
euerie
man
would
haue
thought
they
had
ben
together
by
the
eares
.
But
being
passed
aboue
thirtie
furlonges
beyond
the
place
where
the
battaill
was
fought
,
and
that
the
dead
laye
:
about
midnight
the
Souldiers
on
eyther
side
all
weried
and
tyered
,
what
with
their
trauaill
sustained
in
the
battaill
,
as
also
oppressed
with
hunger
and
thirst
,
desired
they
might
pitch
their
camp
without
any
moe
blowes
.
And
althoughe
Eumenes
did
all
that
in
him
was
,
to
persuade
them
to
returne
to
the
place
where
the
dead
laye
,
to
the
ende
to
bury
them
,
which
was
the
whole
honour
of
the
field
,
yet
could
he
not
bring
them
vnto
it
,
but
all
with
one
voyce
cried
,
to
returne
to
their
Campe
and
cariages
:
Wherefore
he
was
forced
to
agrée
thereto
,
bycause
he
was
not
of
that
power
and
authoritie
there
to
chastise
and
rebuke
them
:
for
that
many
of
the
Chieftaynes
there
thought
them
his
egal
:
and
therfore
was
no
time
conuenient
to
vse
correction
and
punishment
.
But
Antigone
being
chief
of
his
armie
,
after
the
retire
of
the
enimie
into
their
camp
,
enforced
his
Souldiours
to
remoue
their
camp
and
pitch
it
where
the
battaill
was
fought
.
And
by
that
meane
being
Lorde
of
the
fielde
,
to
bury
the
dead
,
he
wan
the
honour
of
the
fielde
,
although
in
the
rest
he
had
no
whit
the
better
:
for
there
were
on
his
part
slaine
aboue
.iij.
thousand
.vj.
hundred
footemen
,
The
number
of
the
dead
&
hurte
.
liiij
.
horse
,
and
aboue
.iiij.
thousand
hurte
.
And
of
Eumenes
side
.v.
hundred
.xl.
footemen
,
fewe
or
no
horse
,
and
about
.ix.
hundred
hurte
.
After
Antigone
was
returned
from
the
battaill
,
and
perceyued
his
Souldiours
greatly
discouraged
,
he
determined
to
retire
from
the
enimie
:
and
to
the
ende
he
might
the
spéedylier
marche
with
them
,
he
sent
all
his
hurt
men
and
baggage
into
a
Citie
néere
hand
.
And
after
he
had
about
the
dawning
of
the
daye
buried
the
dead
on
his
part
,
he
detayned
the
Herault
whiche
was
come
to
enterre
the
bodies
of
the
enimie
,
and
commaunded
his
Souldiours
presently
to
suppe
.
When
the
day
was
past
and
night
come
,
he
deliuered
the
Herault
,
gyuyng
leaue
the
next
daye
in
the
morning
to
bury
the
dead
.
That
night
remoued
he
hys
camp
,
and
with
his
armie
so
hasted
,
that
by
morning
he
had
gotten
farre
inough
of
the
enimie
,
and
lodged
hym
in
Gamarge
in
the
region
of
Mede
by
Pyton
gouerned
,
a
countrey
well
victualed
,
and
very
singular
for
an
armie
.
¶
Eumenes
burieth
the
dead
:
and
of
a
maruelous
case
which
happened
betwene
two
women
of
Inde
.
The
.xij.
Chapter
.
AS
soone
as
Eumenes
was
by
his
scoulte
aduertised
of
the
enimies
departure
,
he
by
reason
of
his
mens
wearinesse
sustained
in
that
battail
,
minded
in
no
wise
to
pursue
them
,
but
to
bury
the
dead
.
Which
was
very
honorably
done
.
In
doing
whereof
happened
a
maruellous
sodaine
thing
,
and
to
the
Grekes
very
straunge
.
For
after
that
Cete
Captayne
of
the
Indians
had
in
that
battaile
ben
slaine
,
two
of
his
wyues
which
he
brought
out
with
him
in
the
same
warres
,
being
there
,
the
one
newly
married
,
the
other
many
yeares
before
,
shewed
the
great
and
excessiue
loue
they
bare
him
.
But
first
you
must
vnderstand
,
that
the
lawe
sometime
amongs
the
Indians
was
,
that
all
or
at
the
least
the
most
contracts
&
mariages
were
by
the
willes
and
agreements
of
the
maried
made
,
without
asking
the
consents
either
of
fathers
or
mothers
,
whereby
oftentimes
happened
,
that
many
yong
people
being
neyther
like
nor
matches
,
for
a
little
light
fantasticall
loue
,
married
togethers
,
&
so
soone
after
repented
.
Through
whiche
sufferaunce
,
many
incontinent
and
light
Dames
,
made
loue
and
became
familiar
with
others
,
and
bicause
that
with
their
honesties
they
could
not
forsake
their
first
husbandes
,
they
would
poyson
them
:
for
in
the
same
Countrey
are
great
stoare
of
all
kindes
of
poyson
which
spéedely
will
do
it
:
and
especially
there
are
such
vehement
poysons
,
that
if
they
but
come
néere
the
meat
whiche
is
to
be
eaten
,
or
the
dishes
wherein
it
lieth
,
the
meat
straight
becommeth
mortall
.
And
bycause
this
was
a
common
practise
and
chaunced
ofte
,
and
that
many
husbands
by
this
meane
died
,
to
the
ende
that
the
wyues
being
in
such
cases
attainted
might
be
punished
,
they
made
a
generall
lawe
,
that
when
the
husbande
died
,
if
the
wyfe
were
not
with
childe
or
had
borne
him
one
,
she
shoulde
be
burned
with
him
.
And
they
that
refused
to
be
burnt
,
were
reputed
and
taken
for
whoores
and
vile
women
,
and
neuer
after
to
be
married
,
nor
yet
receyued
with
the
honest
and
vertuous
Dames
and
Matrones
to
thi
administration
of
their
sacrifices
or
other
publique
matters
.
By
reason
of
which
lawe
,
the
wicked
déede
before
so
common
amongs
the
naughtie
wyues
in
poysoning
their
husbands
,
was
now
conuerted
all
to
the
contrary
.
For
they
considering
the
necessitie
and
straightnesse
of
the
lawe
,
and
the
shame
and
dishonour
to
such
as
refused
the
accomplishing
thereof
,
were
not
onlye
carefull
for
the
lyues
of
their
husbands
whereon
theirs
depended
,
but
also
when
it
happened
any
their
husbandes
to
die
,
the
wyues
would
be
at
controuersy
(
if
he
had
many
)
which
of
them
shoulde
haue
that
glorie
and
honour
,
as
then
chaunced
,
for
the
lawe
woulde
that
one
should
be
burnte
,
and
bycause
there
were
two
,
eyther
of
them
pleaded
hir
cause
before
the
Chieftaynes
and
Captaynes
of
the
armie
to
haue
the
glorie
.
The
yonger
woman
saide
,
that
the
other
was
with
childe
,
wherefore
by
the
lawe
it
was
not
laufull
she
should
be
burnt
:
the
elder
said
,
that
since
she
was
the
auncienter
,
she
most
deserued
the
honour
.
In
the
end
the
Commissioners
appointed
for
the
hearing
and
determining
of
the
controuersie
,
enformed
by
the
report
of
the
Matrones
,
that
the
elder
was
with
childe
,
iudged
the
yonger
to
be
perferred
:
Wherewith
the
other
sore
agréeued
,
with
great
lamentation
and
teares
,
despoiled
hir
of
hir
clothes
,
and
tare
hir
haire
,
as
if
she
had
had
maruellous
euill
tydinges
brought
hir
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
yonger
who
had
the
honour
,
accompanied
with
hir
wayting
maids
casting
chappellets
of
floures
vppon
hir
head
as
if
she
had
ben
newlie
married
,
ioyfullie
went
to
the
fire
.
Her
kinsfolkes
also
went
with
hir
,
singing
hympnes
and
songs
agreable
to
hir
vertue
.
And
as
she
came
néere
the
stake
,
she
beganne
to
put
of
hir
garments
whereof
she
hadde
stoare
,
besides
rings
,
bagges
of
golde
and
all
kindes
of
precious
stones
and
iewels
both
on
hir
fingers
,
head
,
necke
and
armes
,
which
she
gaue
and
bestowed
vppon
hir
friends
and
seruaunts
as
tokens
of
remembrance
.
And
after
she
was
vnrayed
,
hir
owne
brother
ledde
hir
to
the
fire
:
where
in
the
view
and
sight
of
al
the
whole
armie
there
assembled
in
greate
admiration
to
sée
the
sight
,
she
honorably
ended
hir
life
.
But
before
the
fire
was
put
to
hir
,
all
the
armie
thrice
marched
about
the
stake
in
armes
:
whiche
done
,
she
embraced
the
body
of
hir
husband
hard
by
hir
,
and
so
without
either
sighe
or
grone
was
burnt
.
Whereupon
some
of
the
lookers
on
moued
with
pitie
,
condemned
the
lawe
of
the
Indians
,
as
strict
and
cruell
,
and
other
some
highly
commended
the
same
.
After
Eumenes
had
celebrated
the
exequies
of
the
dead
,
he
departed
from
Paretace
,
and
trauailled
into
the
countrey
and
Prouince
of
Gabene
,

wherein
his
men

In

IN
the
meane
time
that
Antigone
and
Eumenes
warred
in
Asie
as
aforesaid
,
The
citie
of
Tege
.
Cassander
who
besieged
the
Citie
of
Tege
in
the
Countrey
of
Peloponese
in
Europe
,
vnderstanding
of
Olympias
comming
into
Macedone
,
and
the
death
of
Euridice
and
Phillip
hir
husband
,
and
of
the
defacing
the
tombe
of
Iolas
his
brother
,
concluded
with
the
Tegeans
a
peace
,
and
with
his
armie
marched
towardes
Macedone
,
whereby
he
leaft
his
friendes
and
allies
in
great
perplexitie
.
For
Alexander
Polispercon
his
sonne
hauing
a
great
armie
,
alwayes
had
an
eye
to
the
Cities
of
Peloponese
.
And
the
Etholians
minding
to
gratify
Quéene
Olympias
and
Polispercon
,
toke
and
furnished
the
passage
of
the
piles
,
by
whiche
Cassander
should
passe
:
wherefore
he
was
forced
to
leaue
that
passage
,
and
to
get
together
a
number
of
Passengers
out
of
the
countrey
of
Eube
and
Locres
,
in
which
he
put
ouer
his
armie
into
Thessalie
,
The
Citie
of
Perrhebie
.
where
he
was
aduertised
that
Polispercon
besieged
the
Citie
of
Perrhebie
.
So
he
sent
Calas
one
of
his
Captaynes
with
parte
of
his
armie
to
maintaine
the
warres
against
Polispercon
,
and
Dynias
an
other
of
his
Captaynes
to
win
the
passages
of
Macedon
:
Dynias
.
which
he
diligently
exploited
and
wanne
,
before
the
Souldiers
of
Olympias
(
whome
she
had
for
that
purpose
thether
sent
)
were
come
.
But
after
she
vnderstood
that
Cassander
with
a
power
royall
was
approched
Macedone
,
she
constituted
Aristone
Generall
,
Aristone
.
to
fight
against
him
,
and
hir self
accompanied
with
the
yong
sonne
of
Alexander
&
Roxanne
his
mother
,
Thessalonique
the
daughter
of
Philip
,
and
sister
to
the
saide
Alexander
,
Deidamie
the
daughter
of
Eacle
King
of
Epire
sister
to
Pyrrhe
,
who
after
warred
on
the
Romaines
,
the
daughters
of
Attale
,
and
many
other
of
the
principall
Ladies
of
the
countrey
,
with
a
great
number
of
their
kinsfolkes
and
friends
,
retired
into
the
Citie
of
Pidue
:
The
Citie
of
Pidue
.
the
more
parte
of
which
people
were
vnméete
for
the
warres
,
and
the
towne
vnprouided
of
victuals
to
maintaine
the
siege
long
.
And
notwithstanding
that
she
see
she
was
in
some
daunger
,
yet
determined
she
to
tarry
there
,
trusting
that
the
greater
parte
of
the
Grekes
and
Macedonians
wold
come
ayde
hir
.
She
had
aboute
hir
a
certain
numbre
of
footemen
and
horse
,
whiche
accustomably
were
restaunt
in
the
court
,
besides
a
fewe
Elephants
which
Polispercon
had
least
in
the
Countrey
.
For
Cassander
at
his
first
entry
into
the
countrey
,
had
taken
the
greater
number
,
and
after
he
had
passed
the
straights
of
Perrheby
,
he
came
and
besieged
the
Citie
of
Pidue
,
and
with
a
trench
enclosed
it
from
the
one
side
of
the
sea
to
the
other
.
For
it
stood
in
a
gulfe
of
the
Sea
,
on
eche
side
enuironed
with
water
,
except
the
entrie
,
wherein
he
made
a
crosse
trench
,
&
sent
to
them
whiche
would
be
his
friends
and
allies
,
for
ships
,
artillary
,
and
all
other
hablements
of
warre
,
to
besiege
the
same
by
sea
and
land
.
And
when
he
vnderstood
that
Eacke
King
of
Epyre
was
with
a
great
army
comming
to
ayde
Olympias
his
sister
,
Attarie
.
he
sent
Attarye
with
one
parte
of
hys
army
out
against
him
:
who
made
suche
spéede
,
that
he
wan
and
kept
the
straight
passages
betwene
the
countrey
of
Epyre
and
Macedone
:
so
that
he
put
Eacle
from
his
enterprise
:
by
which
meane
,
and
also
for
that
the
greater
parte
of
his
subiects
which
with
euill
wil
came
against
the
Macedonians
,
made
in
his
camp
such
a
muteny
,
that
he
was
fayne
(
notwithstanding
his
meaning
to
succoure
his
sister
)
to
sende
backe
all
those
whome
he
sée
euill
willing
,
and
with
the
rest
which
determined
the
aduenture
with
him
,
continued
his
iourney
:
howbeit
,
he
was
very
weakely
accompanied
:
and
whiche
was
worse
,
they
that
forsooke
him
,
after
their
returne
home
,
brought
all
the
rest
of
the
people
of
the
countrey
into
such
a
mutenie
,
that
by
a
common
and
publique
decrée
,
they
bannished
their
King
Eacke
,
and
allied
with
Cassander
:
which
thing
in
the
countrey
of
Epyre
was
neuer
séene
since
Neoptoleme
the
sonne
of
Achilles
first
gouerned
there
.
For
that
Realme
always
went
by
discent
from
the
father
to
sonne
,
and
the
Kings
vntill
that
daye
died
within
the
Countrey

After
that
rebellion
,
Lyciseus
.
when
Cassander
had
sent
into
Epyre
Lisiske
to
be
gouernour
and
ruler
of
the
same
:
they
which
stoode
in
doubt
whether
to
take
Olympias
parte
or
no
,
seing
all
things
out
of
hope
,
turned
to
Cassander
:
whereby
remayned
no
more
for
Olympias
but
one
expectation
and
hope
of
aide
,
to
wete
,
of
Polispercon
,
who
not
withstanding
soone
failed
hir
.
Callas

For
Callas
whome
Cassander
hadde
sent
to
warre
vppon
Polispercon
,
being
verie
néere
encamped
the
said
Polispercon
,
as
he
besieged
the
Citie
of
Perrheby
,
founde
the
meane
so
to
suborne
his
men
of

,
that

forsoke
him

Thus
and
by
these
meanes
in
short
tyme
lost
Olympias
all

¶
Antigone
thinking
to
surprise
and
discomfit
Eumenes
and
his
armie
,
the
said
Eumenes
(
throughe
his
wisedome
and
diligence
)
frustrateth
his
enterprise

that

Elephants
and
baggage
.
The
.xiiij.
Chapter
.
WHile
Antigone
aboade
in
the
Countrey
of
Gamarge
,
in
the
Region
of
Mede
as
we
haue
before
declared
,
&
had
considered
that
he
was
much
weaker
than
the
enimie
:
he
imagined
and
enterprised
at
vnwares
to
assaile
them
,
&
by
skil
and
policie
martiall
to
conquer
them
,
and
the
rather
forasmuche
as
they
were
so
dispersed
in
diuerse
villages
to
winter
,
that
some
of
them
were
six
daies
iorneis
one
from
another
.
Notwithstanding
his
enterprise
was
very
difficulte
&
hard
to
bring
to
good
purpose
,
bycause
to
passe
throughe
the
maneured
countrey
was
a
very
long
iourney
,
and
neuer
able
to
do
it
without
knowledge
of
the
enimie
,
and
he
coulde
not
wel
passe
his
armie
the
shorter
way
without
great
trauaill
and
want
of
all
things
,
in
so
much
as
it
was
through
the
desertes
,
and
the
countrey
very
drie
.
Neuerthelesse
,
bycause
it
was
the
nearest
waye
and
méetest
to
bring
his
purpose
to
passe
,
he
fully
resolued
to
take
it
,
whereby
he
thought
he
might
best
so
surprise
the
enimie
,
being
all
dispersed
,
deuided
,
and
ydle
.
Wherevpon
he
commaunded
his
Souldiours
to
be
in
redinesse
to
departe
,
and
to
make
prouision
of
victuals
readie
to
eat
for
.x.
dayes
,
causing
it
to
be
noysed
,
that
he
would
into
Armenie
.
But
sodenly
beyond
all
mens
expectation
,
he
tooke
his
iourney
through
the
deserts
in
the
winter
when
the
dayes
are
at
the
shortest
.
And
as
he
passed
,
he
gaue
commaundement
to
his
souldiers
on
the
daye
to
make
so
great
fires
as
they
would
,
but
in
the
night
none
,
to
the
ende
the
p●
isaunts
might
not
by
the
sight
therof
haue
any
notice
to
aduertise
the
enimie
,
considering
that
the
deserte
being
playne
and
champion
,
and
with
hye
mountains
enuironed
,
the
light
of
the
fire
might
easelie
be
séene
very
farre
of
.
In
this
sorte
trauailled
they
without
fire
in
the
night
.v.
dayes
together
.
The
.v.
daye
at
night
,
the
Souldiours
almost
frosen
to
death
and
farre
spente
for
wante
of
victuals
and
other
things
necessarie
,
made
fires
to
warme
and
refresh
them
.
Which
the
inhabitaunts
of
the
desertes
seeing
,
and
suspecting
what
that
was
,
with
all
possible
post
sent
certain
of
their
men
vppon
Dromadaries
,
a
very
swift
beast
in
iourneying
,
towards
Eumenes
and
Penceste
:
which
beastes
in
one
daye
without
baite
,
had
posted
a
thousande
fiue
hundred
furlongs
,
to
aduerti●
e
them
of
the
comming
of
Antigone
.
When
Penceste
hys
Souldiours
vnderstoode
that
the
enimie
was
already
halfe
waye
,
they
determined
to
goe
into
the
farthest
partes
where
the
rest
of
the
Souldiours
laye
,
and
so
ioyne
with
them
,
rather
than
there
still
to
tarry
and
be
surprised
of
the
enimie
,
before
any
aide
coulde
come
vnto
them
.
When
Eumenes
sée
them
thus
feared
and
dismayed
,
he
to
gyue
them
courage
,
&
to
persuade
them
that
they
néeded
not
to
remoue
from
the
places
they
were
in
,
whiche
was
the
entrie
of
the
desert
,
declared
that
he
had
found
out
an
excellent
deuise
and
remedie
to
staye
the
comming
of
the
enimie
for
.iij
or
iiij
.
dayes
:
during
which
time
the
rest
of
the
armie
might
easely
be
gotten
thyther
,
and
so
by
that
meane
withoute
any
great
difficultie
they
should
winne
of
the
enimie
victorie
,
who
with
hunger
and
thirst
were
al
benoumed
and
weried
,
and
likewise
vnprouided
of
all
other
thinges
necessarie
.
At
whose
wordes
all
the
Souldiours
maruelled
,
and
would
needes
know
what
deuise
that
was
or
might
be
,
whiche
was
able
to
kéepe
back
the
enimie
iij.
or
.iiij.
dayes
.
Then
commaunded
he
,
and
enioyned
al
his
Captaynes
there
,
to
followe
him
with
those
men
they
had
,
and
to
carry
all
the
vessels
they
coulde
get
,
wherin
any
fire
might
be
made
.
Which
done
,
he
hasted
to
get
the
hiest
mountaynes
about
the
vttermost
limits
of
the
desert
,
in
the
sight
of
the
enimie
,
and
on
them
placed
men
dispersed
in
diuerse
places
,
being
about
.lxx.
furlongs
in
length
,
commaunding
euery
of
them
(
during
that
time
)
to
make
great
fires
in
the
places
wher
they
stood
all
alongest
about
.xx.
cubits
one
from
an
other
,
and
at
the
first
watche
of
the
night
to
make
notable
great
fires
,
as
thoughe
they
watched
and
were
at
supper
,
at
the
second
watch
lesse
,
and
at
the
third
watch
least
of
all
:
to
the
ende
,
that
they
which
sée
them
farre
of
,
might
thinke
it
a
great
campe
.
Which
commaundement
by
the
Souldiers
diligentlie
executed
,
many
paysaunts
dwelling
on
the
mountaynes
in
the
oppisite
,
and
Pithons
friendes
Satrapa
of
Mede
,
with
great
spéede
descended
into
the
playne
,
signifying
to
Antigone
and
Python
,
all
they
had
seene
:
who
were
greatly
abashed
at
those
newes
,
which
they
neuer
doubted
of
.
Wherefore
they
sobdainlie
stayed
where
they
were
,
&
asked
counsail
of
the
said
Paysants
what
was
best
to
do
.
For
they
thought
it
very
daungerous
,
for
their
men
being
trauailled
,
weried
,
and
vnprouided
of
all
things
,
to
ioyne
battaill
with
the
enimie
well
prouided
of
all
thinges
,
&
together
assembled
,
thinking
also
,
that
some
of
their
owne
men
had
betrayed
them
,
and
had
aduertised
the
enimie
of
their
comming
.
Wherefore
at
last
they
leaft
the
playne
waye
and
tooke
that
on
the
right
hande
,
by
the
mountaynes
,
a
whyle
to
repose
and
refreshe
their
people
.
In
this
sorte
abused
Eumenes
the
enimie
,
hauing
time
ynough
to
assemble
al
his
power
which
was
dispersed
in
diuerse
places
and
lodgings
,
to
entrenche
and
fortifie
his
camp
,
and
to
prouide
&
furnishe
it
with
all
things
necessarie
.
After
Antigone
had
passed
all
the
desertes
,
worde
was
brought
him
,
that
all
Eumenes
his
Captaynes
and
men
of
warre
were
gone
to
the
camp
,
and
that
their
Elephaunts
were
comming
behind
on
the
waye
almost
at
hande
,
without
companie
or
conduct
of
any
men
of
warre
.
Wherefore
he
chose
out
.ij.
thousand●
lau●●
es
.ij.
hundred
Tarentines
,
and
all
the
light
armed
footemen
to
go
and
assaile
the
enimies
Elephants
,
thinking
that
if
he
could
ouerthrowe
them
,
the
enimy
thereby
should
greatlie
be
weakened
.
But
Eumenes
doubting
thereof
,
sent
to
conduct
the
said
Elephaunts
,
a
thousande
of
the
best
horse
he
had
,
and
about
.iij.
thousande
light
armed
footemen
.
When
Antigone
his
Souldiers
had
shewed
them selues
to
the
conductours
of
the
Elephaunts
,
they
arranged
their
beastes
in
a
square
battaill
.
And
after
they
set
in
order
the.
CCCC
.
horse
that
they
hadde
for
their
ayde
,
and
in
the
middest
put
all
their
baggage
.
Howbeit
Antigone
his
bande
of
horse
,
bycause
of
their
great
numbre
so
violentlie
charged
the
horse
of
the
enimie
,
that
they
were
forthwith
ouerthrowen
and
put
to
flight
.
That
done
,
the
Antigonians
charged
the
Elephaunts
and
their
conductours
,
who
a
pretie
whyle
defended
them
,
albeit
they
were
by
the
enimie
very
sore
hurte
,
and
they
harmed
them
no
whit
at
all
.
Wherfore
in
the
ende
they
beganne
to
recule
and
had
out
of
hand
fled
,
if
present
ayde
whiche
was
vnlooked
for
,
hadde
not
come
and
deliuered
them
of
that
peril
and
daunger
.
¶
Antigone
in
battaill
ouerthroweth
Eumenes
,
putteth
him
to
death
,
and
after
seizeth
on
all
his
armie
.
The
.xv.
Chapter
.
SHortlie
after
,
as
they
laye
in
campe
about
.xl.
furlongs
one
from
an
other
:
they
embattailled
them selues
to
assaye
and
proue
fortune
,
and
to
hazarde
their
estates
in
hope
of
victorie
.
And
first
Antigone
beganne
to
place
his
horse
and
deuided
them
into
two
wings
or
battailles
,
of
whiche
the
charge
of
the
left
he
gaue
to
Python
,
and
him selfe
with
his
sonne
Demetre
ledde
the
right
,
and
aranged
the
armed
footemen
in
the
middest
,
and
appointed
the
Elephaunts
in
the
fronte
of
the
battaill
in
good
order
.
And
in
the
voyde
space
betwixt
both
,
he
placed
the
light
armed
footemen
:
so
accompting
those
he
brought
out
of
Mede
,
he
had
in
the
whole
.xxij.
thousand
footemen
.viij.
thousand
horse
,
and
lxv
.
Elephants
.
The
number
of
the
men
on
eyther
side
,
and
order
of
their
battailes
.
When
Eumenes
vnderstood
that
Antigone
led
the
right
wing
or
voward
of
his
battail
with
his
best
horse
,
he
placed
him selfe
right
ouer
against
,
in
hys
left
wing
or
rerewarde
with
his
best
and
choise
horse
,
bycause
he
had
in
that
battaill
appointed
the
greater
numbre
of
the
most
experte
and
best
trayned
horse
of
the
Satrapes
,
and
in
the
same
Mithridate
Ariobarzane
his
sonne
,
whiche
Ariaobarzane
was
descended
from
the
princes
of
Perse
,
whom
the
Tyraunts
sometime
flew
,
a
valiaunt
and
hardy
Champion
,
and
had
all
his
youth
ben
brought
vp
and
trained
in
the
warres
,
and
before
the
wing
or
rerewarde
he
arranged
in
forme
of
a
crosse
,
lx.
of
the
most
puissaunt
and
best
Elephaunts
:
and
in
the
voide
places
appointed
the
light
armed
footemen
.
Next
after
,
he
placed
his
armed
footemen
in
a
maine
battaile
,
in
the
foreparte
whereof
,
he
firste
placed
the
●
erge
bearers
,
behind
them
the
Argiraspides
,
and
after
them
the
Mercenaries
and
other
straungers
,
armed
after
the
manner
of
the
Macedonians
,
and
before
them
al
,
his
Elephants
,
and
betwene
them
the
light
armed
footemen
,
as
him
thought
best
.
In
the
right
wing
or
vowarde
which
Phillip
led
,
he
placed
the
other
horse
,
and
arranged
before
them
the
least
&
weakest
Elephantes
,
whome
he
commaunded
by
no
meane
to
charge
,
but
to
forbeare
fighting
and
to
haue
an
eye
and
regard
to
the
leaft
wing
or
rerewarde
.
So
there
where
in
Eumenes
armie
.xxx.
thousand
footemen
.vj.
thousand
and
vij
.
hundred
horse
,
and
.
Cxl.
Elephantes
.
A
little
before
they
ioyned
battail
,
Antigene
gaue
commaundement
to
one
of
his
horsemen
to
ryde
strayght
against
the
Phalange
of
the
enimie
:
and
when
he
was
néere
ouer
against
the
place
where
the
Macedonians
stood
,
so
that
they
might
well
heare
him
crie
out
with
a
loude
voice
vnto
them
,
saying
these
wordes
folowing
.
Ah
cursed
and
wicked
people
,
how
dare
you
presume
to
come
against
your
fathers
,
who
alwayes
haue
serued
with
Philip
and
Alexander
,
and
obtayned
in
their
companies
many
victories
.
Certes
anone
ye
shal
sée
them
exploit
as
condigne
and
worthy
factes
for
the
kings
whome
they
haue
serued
&
do
,
as
their
noble
and
honourable
déedes
heretofore
executed
and
done
.
For
there
was
not
one
thesame
time
among
the
Argiraspides
Macedonians
vnder
thrée
score
or
thrée
score
and
ten
yeares
of
age
or
more
,
and
by
reason
of
their
long
continuaunce
and
exercise
abidden
in
the
warres
,
all
passing
valiaunt
and
hardy
.
After
thys
horsseman
had
done
his
message
,
they
on
the
other
syde
aunswered
aloude
,
and
sayd
thay
they
were
very
sorie
it
was
their
chaunce
to
fight
againste
their
kinsfolkes
,
coosins
,
and
so
auncient
men
of
warre
.
But
the
souldiers
with
Eumenes
desirous
of
battaile
,
exhorted
him
to
march
with
speede
against
the
enimie
.
Then
Eumenes
seing
their
forwardnesse
,
made
signe
to
the
trumpets
,
who
forthwith
founded
to
battaile
,
wherat
both
the
armies
made
a
great
outecrie
.
The
first
which
encountred
were
the
Elephantes
,
and
nexte
the
horsse
:
whervpon
bicause
the
field
was
large
,
dry
and
barren
,
there
arose
through
the
mouing
and
stirring
of
the
horse
,
such
a
dust
,
that
although
they
were
hard
together
,
yet
could
they
scarsly
discerne
one
an
other
dyd
.
Whiche
thing
when
Antigone
see
,
he
commaunded
the
Median
horse
,
and
certain
Tarentines
,
to
ride
out
and
spoyle
the
campe
&
baggage
of
the
enemie
,
whiche
he
thought
by
reson
of
the
dust
,
might
without
the
sight
of
the
Eumenians
be
easily
done
,
and
so
winning
the
campe
and
baggage
,
woulde
with
little
effusion
of
bloude
be
the
cause
of
victorie
on
their
side
,
as
it
after
happened
.
For
the
sayd
Medians
and
Tarentines
passyng
:
the
corner
of
the
enimies
battaile
,
and
riding
forth
on
,
ranne
vpon
the
baggage
,
which
was
fiue
furlongs
from
the
battaill
,
before
they
were
perceiued
,
&
from
thence
to
the
campe
,
wherin
were
few
souldiers
but
many
straglers
,
who
for
a
while
resisted
,
but
soone
after
they
put
them
to
flight
,
and
by
that
meane
wanne
they
the
campe
and
carriages
,
and
without
any
greate
resistance
tooke
all
the
straglers
.
In
the
meane
while
began
Antigone
to
ioyne
battaile
,
and
so
charged
the
lefte
wyng
or
rerewarde
which
came
agaynst
hym
,
&
through
the
greate
numbre
of
his
horsse
,
gaue
so
violent
a
charge
,
that
he
daunted
their
courages
,
through
which
Penceste
Satrapa
of
Perse
,
being
in
that
wyng
,
retired
out
of
the
duste
with
his
owne
horses
,
and
after
hym
folowed
a
thousande
more
,
and
by
that
meane
was
Eumenes
left
disfurnished
and
weakly
accompanied
in
the
vttermoste
parte
of
that
wing
or
rereward
.
Notwithstandyng
he
thought
it
a
greate
shame
and
dishonoure
to
flie
,
and
therfore
determined
he
rather
to
tarrie
,
and
valiantly
defend
the
quarell
of
the
Kings
,
than
to
recule
.
Whervpon
he
with
might
and
maine
charged
Antigone
:
so
that
the
fight
betwixt
the
horsemen
was
sharpe
and
cruel
,
and
many
slaine
.
It
chaunced
the
same
very
tyme
as
the
Elephants
were
fighting
,
that
the
formost
on
Eumenes
side
,
was
by
the
chief
and
principal
of
Antigone
discomfited
and
ouerthrowne
.
When
Eumenes
see
hys
men
disordered
,
and
in
al
places
haue
the
worst
,
he
retired
the
rest
of
his
horse
yet
vnbroken
from
the
battayle
,
and
trouped
to
the
wing
or
voward
which
Philip
had
the
leading
of
,
whome
he
had
commaunded
to
stay
and
delay
from
fight
,
and
tooke
his
souldiers
.
In
the
meane
time
,
the
Argiraspides
so
lustily
&
couragiously
charged
the
maine
battail
of
the
enimie
,
that
with
very
hand
strokes
they
slew
many
,
&
put
a
numbre
more
to
flight
.
And
their
force
was
so
intollerable
,
that
they
repulsed
and
discomfited
the
whole
phalange
,
being
the
farre
greater
numbre
,
wherof
.v.
thousand
wer
slaine
,
and
the
rest
fled
.
When
Eumenes
vnderstode
that
the
ennimie
had
woon
his
campe
,
and
that
Penceste
was
at
hand
yet
whole
in
troupe
,
he
forced
to
ioyne
with
him
,
and
to
charge
Antigone
againe
with
hys
horse
.
For
he
thought
if
he
could
get
the
victorie
,
he
should
not
onely
recouer
his
owne
cariages
and
his
mennes
,
but
also
the
enimies
.
Howbeit
Pencest
and
his
horsemen
wold
not
therto
agrée
,
but
rode
further
of
from
the
battaile
:
and
when
night
came
,
they
retired
one
from
an
other
into
diuers
places
.
Antigone
likewise
deuided
his
horse
into
two
handes●
the
one
of
which
himself
kept
,
attending
the
doings
of
Eumenes
and
his
souldiers
,
and
the
charge
of
the
other
he
gaue
to
Python
,
commaundyng
hym
wyth
all
spéede
,
to
charge
the
Argiraspides
,
who
were
dissefurnished
of
their
horse
:
which
commaundement
with
great
diligence
he
executed
:
but
the
Argiraspides
seyng
their
vnabilitie
to
resist
,
retired
together
in
a
square
battaile
,
harde
to
the
riuer
side
,
withoute
hurte
,
greatly
blaming
Penceste
:
and
hys
companie
,
as
the
onely
causers
of
the
ouerthrowe
of
the
horssemen
.
And
being
in
such
order
retired
,
Eumenes
with
hys
horsse
came
and
ioyned
with
them
.
But
at
their
accustomed
houres
to
make
fiers
,
they
went
to
consulte
and
aduisedly
debate
of
their
greate
businesse
and
waighty
enterprises
.
The
Satrapes
were
of
the
opinion
that
they
all
should
forthwith
retire
into
the
high
countrey
which
they
gouerned
.
And
Eumenes
contrary
affirming
that
it
were
best
for
them
to
charge
afresh
,
saying
that
the
Phalange
of
the
enimie
was
discomfited
,
and
that
yet
they
were
as
many
horsse
.
Notwithstanding
the
Macedonians
Argiraspides
sayde
,
they
woulde
neyther
followe
the
one
opinion
nor
the
other
,
bicause
al
their
goodes
,
baggages
,
together
with
their
wiues
,
children
and
familie
,
were
vnder
subiection
of
the
enimie
,
so
that
the
counsayle
and
assemblie
without
any
conclusion
brake
vp
.
They
sent
also
secret
messangers
towards
Antigone
,
practizing
with
him
to
yeld
Eumenes
at
his
pleasure
,
condicionally
that
he
shold
restore
their
wiues
,
children
,
and
goodes
.
The
Satrapes
likewise
&
the
more
part
of
the
other
Captains
concluded
a
league
&
amitie
,
and
abandoned
their
chieftaine
.
Through
which
meane
,
Eumenes
was
betrayed
&
rendred
to
Antigone
.
Who
seeing
that
by
greater
happe
and
much
better
good
lucke
,
than
he
loked
for
,
he
hadde
gotten
vnder
his
subiection
the
Argiraspides
and
the
rest
of
the
souldiers
which
held
against
him
,
tooke
Antigene
coronell
of
the
Argiraspides
and
buried
him
quicke
.
He
also
slewe
Eudame
captaine
of
the
Indian
Elephantes
,
&
diuers
other
captaines
his
vtter
enimies
.
And
for
Eumenes
,
he
committed
the
garding
of
him
to
certayn
of
his
men
,
vntil
he
had
determined
what
to
do
with
him
.
For
gladly
he
would
haue
reteyned
him
,
if
eyther
by
good
or
gentle
entreatie
he
thought
he
might
win
him
:
bicause
he
knewe
him
to
be
a
noble
warriour
and
stout
man
.
Notwithstanding
he
had
no
great
confidence
in
his
premis
,
by
reason
of
the
maruellous
loue
and
singular
affection
that
he
did
beare
Olympias
&
the
Kings
,
which
he
before
had
well
declared
.
For
although
he
was
by
his
meane
from
the
siege
of
Nore
deliuered
,
yet
after
in
the
quarel
of
the
Kings
he
warred
vpon
him
with
his
whole
power
.
Moreouer
seing
the
mortall
hate
of
the
Macedonians
against
him
,
he
determined
to
put
him
to
death
.
Howebeit
for
the
loue
and
fauoure
he
before
bare
him
,
he
caused
him
to
be
burnt
,
and
in
a
faire
vessell
sent
his
bones
to
his
kinsfolkes
and
friends
.
He
found
likewise
among
the
hurte
men
,
Ierome
Cardian
,
a
wise
and
politike
man
,
whome
Eumenes
greatly
honoured
and
familiarly
vsed
:
Ierome
.
and
therefore
Antigone
in
like
sorte
,
after
Eumenes
hys
death
,
honoured
and
well
entreated
him
.

Antigone
retireth
to

The
.xvj.
Chapter
.
AFter
Antigone
had
brought
backe
al
his
armie
into
the
countrey
of
Mede
,
he
wintred
in
a
village
of
the
Ecbathanes
harde
by
,
wherin
is
the
Kings
Palace
of
that
quarter
,
and
deuided
his
men
of
warre
through
the
whole
countrey
of
Mede
,
and
chiefly
in
the
waste
country
,
so
called
bicause
of
diuers
mysfortunes
which
there
sometime
happened
.
For
in
olde
time
about
those
quarters
had
bene
the
richest
and
gretest
number
of
townes
within
al
that
Prouince
,
and
by
reason
of
so
many
terrible
and
continuall
earthquakes
,
The
wast
Countrey
.
all
the
sayde
townes
together
with
their
inhabitantes
perished
and
were
vtterly
lost
,
wherby
the
whole
region
was
maruellously
altered
and
chaunged
:
for
there
were
such
new
riuers
and
lakes
séene
,
as
had
not
customably
bene
.
The
same
time
that
Antigone
lay
in
Mede
,
the
citie
of
Rhodes
was
the
thirde
time
by
deluge
or
floude
ouercome
,
by
reason
wherof
a
great
many
Citizens
a
new
were
at
that
present
drowned
,
more
than
at
the
other
two
times
.
For
the
first
,
bycause
the
towne
was
newly
buylt
and
little
enhabited
,
dyd
no
great
hurt
.
The
second
was
much
greater
,
and
did
more
domage
,
for
that
there
were
more
enhabitaunts
.
But
the
third
came
about
the
spring
,
and
began
through
great
raines
&
showres
whiche
fel
sodenly
with
mightie
&
maruellous
hayle
stones
:
for
they
fel
hole
and
bigge
and
waightie
as
a
myne
,
but
some
much
bigger
and
heauier
:
so
that
they
beate
downe
the
toppes
of
many
weake
built
houses
,
and
kild
a
great
number
of
people
:
and
bycause
the
Citie
was
round
,
stepest
and
hiest
in
the
middest
in
maner
of
a
Theatre
,
the
waters
on
euery
side
so
aboundauntlie
flowed
,
that
the
lower
partes
were
incontinent
filled
vp
,
and
coulde
no
waye
passe
nor
fall
,
bicause
the
Citizens
(
seeing
winter
paste
)
tooke
no
great
h●
de
to
the
clensing
of
their
sinks
vnder
the
earth
.
And
the
more
part
of
the
sinks
and
chanels
about
the
wals
were
so
choked
,
that
the
water
in
short
time
grew
so
●
ie
&
strong
,
that
it
flowed
vp
to
the
market
place
called
Digma
,
Digma
.
and
the
temple
of
Dionisie
,
and
in
the
end
grew
and
arose
vp
like
a
lake
,
euen
to
the
temple
of
Esculape
.
Whereuppon
the
Citizens
seeing
so
great
and
sodayne
a
deluge
,
sought
euery
man
to
saue
him selfe
.
Some
ranne
to
the
shippes
,
some
to
the
theatre
:
and
they
whiche
were
most
oppressed
,
s●
aled
the
tops
of
the
churches
,
and
clymbed
the
pillers
on
whiche
the
statues
and
ymages
stood
.
And
as
the
Citizens
were
in
this
terrour
and
perplexitie
,
chaunced
them
a
sodain
remedy
.
For
one
of
the
panes
of
the
wall
(
through
the
violence
of
the
water
)
fell
downe
:
and
so
by
that
means
it
voided
and
ranne
into
the
sea
.
It
was
also
a
happy
tourne
that
the
deluge
chaunced
on
the
daye
,
bycause
that
when
the
Citizens
see
the
imminent
daunger
,
they
had
leysure
to
get
out
of
their
houses
,
and
withdrawe
them
to
the
hiest
places
of
the
towne
.
It
was
good
happe
lykewyse
that
the
wals
of
their
houses
were
stronglie
buylt
of
stoane
,
and
not
of
bricke
:
and
therefore
they
which
got
vp
to
the
toppes
were
safe
.
Howbeit
,
there
died
aboue
.v.
hundred
,
and
many
houses
ouerthrowen
&
wholy
beaten
downe
,
besides
diuerse
that
were
sore
shaken
and
quashed
.
In
this
daunger
and
inconuenience
was
the
Citie
of
Rhodes
.

The
.xvij.
Chapter
.
AS
Antigone
wintered
in
the
countrey
of
Mede
,
he
was
aduertised
that
Python
practised
with
the
soldiers
in
garrison
,
about
some
enterprise
.
Notwithstanding
he
made
semblant
that
he
beléeued
not
the
report
,
reprouing
the
reporters
before
the
people
,
saying
,
that
to
set
controuersie
betwene
him
and
Python
,
they
had
fained
and
deuised
it
in
their
own
heads
.
He
caused
it
also
to
be
openly
diuulged
,
that
he
would
leaue
the
said
Python
Satrapa
and
gouernour
of
al
the
Prouinces
and
Satrapes
of
the
hye
countrey
,
together
one
parte
of
his
armie
,
so
that
he
might
rule
the
better
,
and
hold
and
kéepe
him selfe
in
sauetie
.
He
writte
also
vnto
him
gentle
and
gracious
letters
,
praying
hym
to
repaire
ouer
so
soone
as
was
possible
to
communicate
and
deuise
of
the
affaires
in
those
quarters
,
to
the
ende
Antigone
might
with
more
spéede
returne
to
Sea
.
This
dyd
he
with
a
crafty
and
painted
contenaunce
,
clerely
to
put
him
out
of
suspicion
,
thinking
he
would
,
in
hope
of
obtayning
that
Seignorie
,
come
to
him
.
For
well
he
knew
,
it
was
not
hi●●
ase
forcibly
to
take
him
,
bicause
he
was
a
valiaunt
and
couragious
man
,
and
such
one
,
that
Alexander
when
he
lyued
,
by
reason
of
his
vertue
,
had
gyuen
hym
the
gouernement
of
the
same
countrey
of
Mede
,
whiche
to
that
day
he
held
and
enioyed
.
And
to
be
short
,
he
through
corruption
and
other
ways
,
greatly
got
the
good
willes
of
the
men
of
warre
,
that
the
more
numbre
promised
to
forsake
Antigone
and
follow
him
.
Notwithstanding
,
although
he
for
this
cause
somwhat
mistrusted
his
crafty
cloyning
,
yet
through
the
hope
which
certen
of
his
familiars
and
friends
with
Antigone
put
him
in
,
he
came
at
his
commaundement
.
And
so
soone
as
he
was
come
,
Antigone
caused
him
to
be
apprehended
,
and
the
chiefe
and
principall
Captaynes
of
the
armie
being
there
in
maner
of
a
Senate
assembled
,
accused
him
.
Before
whome
he
was
lightly
conuict
,
&
incontinent
condemned
to
death
,
and
with
greater
spéede
executed
.
Whiche
done
,
he
assembled

whole

in

had
assembled

got
together
of

familiars
about

,
and
made
many
incursions
and
roades
vppon
the
people
of

Countrey
which
would
not
obey

.
But
when
they
were
aduertised
of

encamping
of
Hypostrate
and
Orondonate
,
they
sodenly
by
night
assayled
them
,
and
hadde
almost
wonne
their
camp
.
And
although
they
were
through
the
numbre
of
the
ennimie
repulsed
,
yet
suborned
they
some
of
their
Souldiours
,
who
went
away
with
them
.
And
bycause
they
were
all
horse
and
had
no
carriages
,
they
feared
all
the
whole
countrey
,
and
set
them
in
a
maruelous
vprore
.
But
in
the
end
being
sore
pressed
and
charged
,
they
were
forced
to
retire
into
a
valley
enuironed
with
steepe
rockes
,
and
almost
inaccessible
,
and
at

there
taken

,
who
were
of
the
inhabitants
in
the
said
prouinces
well
beloued
,
and
had
also
amongs
the
men
of
warre
great
friends
and
mightie
armies
.
Into
Arie
he
sent
Erite
,
Erite
.
and
after
his
death
,
he
deputed
Euagoras
,
Euagoras
.
a
man
of
meruelous
great
courage
,
and
wise
.
Oxiarthe
.
He
permitted
likewise
Oxiarthe
the
father
of
Roxanne
Alexanders
wife
,
to
kéepe
and
enioye
the
Satrapes
of
Paropanisade
,
as
he
before
held
it
:
bycause
he
could
not
expulse
him
without
great
power
,
and
long
continuaunce
.
He
also
called
home
out
of
Aracothe
Sybirte
,
whome
he
dearlie
loued
:
and
on
him
bestowed
that
Satrape
,
gyuing
him
the
charge
of
the
mutinous
Argiraspides
,
vnder
a
colour
to
lead
them
into
the
warres
,
but
the
trueth
is
,
it
was
to
destroye
them
.
For
he
tolde
him
in
counsail
,
that
he
would
send
and
put
them
to
such
vses
as
they
should
loose
their
liues
.
Amongs
whiche
were
those
the
betrayed
Eumenes
,
Euen
so
commeth
to
all
Traitours
.
and
for
their
treason
suffered
that
waye
condigne
punishement
.
And
as
oftentimes
it
happeneth
,
that
treasons
to
Princes
are
profitable
to
winne
victorie
:
euen
so
to
suche
as
commit
them
,
they
haue
always
ben
the
cause
efficient
of
many
and
great
mischiefs
.
After
Antigone
sée
that
Penceste
in
the
Countrey
of
Perse
was
greatly
honoured
,
he
expulsed
him
the
Satrapie
,
whereupon
many
of
the
countrey
being
therewith
agréeued
,
at
last
one
of
the
chief
and
principall
of
them
named
Thespius
,
Thespius
.
stepped
out
and
frankly
tolde
him
,
that
they
would
obey
none
other
:
whome
he
caused
for
hys
so
saying
,
incontinent
to
be
slayne
,
and
gaue
the
Satrapie
to
Ascleptodore
:
Ascleptodore
.
together
a
sufficient
and
able
numbre
of
men
of
warre
,
to
garde
and
defend
it
.
Notwithstanding
he
with
gentle
wordes
and
large
promysses
curteouslie
entertained
Penceste
,
vntil
he
had
gotten
him
out
of
the
countrey
.
These
things
done
,
Antigone
tooke
his
iourney
towards
Suse
:
and
as
he
approched
néere
the
citie
,
Xenophile
Captayne
of
the
the
Castle
of
Suse
,
Xenophilus
.
and
Treasurer
of
all
the
treasure
Royall
within
the
same
,
by
Seleuke
sent
to
offer
his
seruice
,
and
to
be
at
his
commaundement
,
met
him
about
the
riuer
Pasitigre
,
whom
Antigone
gently
and
curteouslie
receyued
,
making
him
beleeue
that
he
would
honorably
entreat
him
,
least
if
he
otherwise
dyd
,
Xenophile
might
alter
his
determination
and
purpose
,
and
so
shoulde
be
despoyled
and
robbed
of
him
.
By
which
meane
,
after
they
were
entred
the
Citie
,
Xenophile
rendred
him
the
Castle
,
wherein
he
founde
a
trée
and
many
other
things
,
all
of
massife
golde
,
amounting
to
the
value
of
.xv.
thousand
Talents
:
he
found
also
there
great
summes
of
money
,
besides
many
crowns
with
other
great
giftes
and
spoyles
,
to
the
value
of
.v.
thousand
Talents
.
So
by
that
meane
and
with
that
he
brought
out
of
the
countrey
of
Mede
,
he
had
in
golde
and
siluer
the
summe
of
.xxv.
thousand
Talents
.
And
for
this
time
we
will
leaue
speaking
of
Antigone
and
the
things
by
him
done
in
Asie
,
and
returne
to
that
the
same
time
exploited
in
Europe
.

Cassander
taketh
by
composition
Olympias
,
and
after
putteth
hir
to
death
.
The
.xix.
Chapter
.
NOwe
saith
the
historie
,
that
Cassander
who
besieged
Olympias
within
the
Citie
of
Pidue
,
in
the
countrey
of
Macedone
,
could
not
well
winne
it
,
by
reason
of
the
winter
season
,
but
only
with
ditches
and
trenches
,
held
it
enclosed
and
garded
the
Port
with
ships
:
to
the
end
no
ayde
or
succoure
should
be
thether
brought
.
By
meane
whereof
,
the
townes
men
were
so
distressed
and
in
such
néede
,
that
they
allowed
monethly
to
euery
soldiour
,
but
fiue
Choenices
of
corne
:
Choenice
was
a
measure
amongs
the
Grekes
about
the
bignesse
of
our
quart
,
or
somewhat
more
.
Neyther
did
the
Elephantes
eat
any
thing
else
than
the
poudre
of
drie
wood
,
and
the
horsemen
were
forced
to
eate
their
horses
.
Notwithstanding
the
Quéene
still
hoping
of
succoure
,
so
long
aboade
the
siege
,
that
the
Elephantes
dyed
of
hunger
:
and
almost
all
the
extraordinarie
horssemen
,
besides
the
greater
part
of
the
footemen
,
died
for
want
of
victuals
.
And
certen
Barbarians
whiche
there
serued
,
by
necessitie
constrayned
(
against
nature
)
eat
the
fleshe
of
the
dead
carcases
.
And
the
rest
whiche
were
vneaten
,
one
parte
by
the
Commissioners
,
deputed
by
the
Quéene
,
was
buried
,
and
the
other
throwen
ouer
the
wals
into
the
ditches
,
very
horrible
to
sée
:
so
that
not
the
women
alone
,
who
always
had
ben
fynely
&
delicately
brought
vp
,
but
the
Souldiours
also
,
which
had
abyden
almost
as
many
miseries
as
might
be
,
endured
there
a
most
intollerable
stench
.
But
at
last
,
the
famine
dayly
encreased
,
that
many
of
the
Souldiours
came
to
the
Quéene
and
desired
leaue
to
depart
,
who
seeing
the
great
want
of
victuals
,
and
other
inabilitie
to
deliuer
them
of
the
siege
,
gaue
licence
:
whereupon
they
departed
and
rendred
to
Cassander
,
whome
he
right
gentlie
receyued
,
and
sent
them
home
to
their
owne
houses
,
trusting
that
the
Macedonians
thereof
aduertised
,
and
séeing
no
hope
to
be
looked
for
at
the
Queenes
hands
,
would
not
long
trauail
in
hir
ayde
:
wherein
they
had
good
reason
.
For
all
the
Macedonians
which
determined
to
succoure
hir
,
vnderstanding
the
daunger
,
she
was
in
,
altered
their
opinions
,
and
tooke
parte
with
Cassander
:
Aristone
.
Aristone
and
Momme
except
,
which
Aristone
kept
the
Citie
of
Amphipolis
,
Amphipolis
.
and
Monime
the
Citie
of
Polle
When
Olympias
see
,
Monime
.
Polle
.
that
one
parte
of
the
Macedonians
had
quite
forsaken
hir
,
&
that
the
rest
were
vnable
to
mainteyn
&
help
hir
,
she
went
about
to
saue
hir self
&
hir
friends
in
a
Gally
by
sea
,
which
she
caused
to
be
sent
for
and
brought
to
the
Port.
But
Cassander
being
therof
aduertised
by
one
that
fled
out
of
the
town
tooke
the
sayd
Gallie
.
Whereupon
the
Queene
despayring
in
hir
affaires
&
businesse
,
sent
Ambassadours
to
Cassander
,
to
treat
a
peace
.
But
he
séeing
the
necessitie
wherein
she
stood
,
and
therfore
meaning
that
she
should
yeld
hir self
to
his
curtesie
,
he
hardly
graunted
hir
safe
conduct
for
hir
owne
person
.
When
Cassander
had
the
citie
rendred
to
him
,
he
incontinent
sent
certen
of
his
men
of
warre
to
take
Amphipolis
and
Polle
.
Whereupon
Monime
Captayne
of
Polle
vnderstanding
the
state
of
Olympias
,
yelded
without
resistaunce
.
But
Aristone
who
was
extréeme
proude
both
of
his
great
hande
of
men
of
warre
,
as
also
for
that
he
had
a
little
before
vanquished
and
ouercome
Cratebas
,
one
of
Cassanders
Captaynes
,
in
battaill
slayne
a
great
parte
of
his
armie
,
Cratebas
.
subsecuted
&
chased
him
through
the
countrey
of
Busalcie
,
hard
to
the
Citie
of
Bedine
,
Bedine
.
&
it
besieged
&
tooke
by
composition
,
whom
he
after
with
.ij.
thousand
of
his
men
besides
,
sent
away
with
white
roddes
in
their
hands
,
supposing
that
Eumenes
had
not
ben
yet
dead
,
and
hoping
that
Polispercon
and
Alexander
his
sonne
would
come
to
ayde
hym
,
vtterly
refused
the
yelding
vp
of
the
Citie
of
Amphipolis
.
But
after
Olympias
had
written
to
him
to
render
the
Towne
,
summoning
him
of
his
faith
and
allegiaunce
,
he
thought
it
best
so
to
do
,
and
taking
suertie
for
his
persone
,
gaue
vp
the
same
.
Notwithstanding
Cassander
considering
the
great
aucthoritie
of
Aristone
,
by
reason
of
Alexanders
aduauncing
him
in
his
life
,
and
meaning
to
make
quicke
dispatch
of
so
many
as
would
or
might
any
way
let
or
hinder
his
affaires
and
doings
,
caused
Cratebas
owne
kinsfolkes
to
kill
him
.
He
persuaded
likewise
all
their
friends
which
Olympias
had
put
to
death
,
to
accuse
hir
in
the
place
of
iudgement
before
the
assemblie
of
the
Macedonians
,
which
thing
they
did
:
where
the
Macedonians
in
hir
absence
without
patrone
or
Aduocate
there
to
defend
hir
cause
,
condemned
hir
to
death
:
wherupon
after
sentence
and
iudgement
gyuen
,
Cassander
sent
to
hir
certen
of
his
friends
,
persuading
hir
to
flie
,
promising
to
enbarque
hir
in
a
Gallie
,
which
should
bring
hir
to
the
citie
of
Athens
.
And
this
did
he
,
not
for
anie
good
will
to
saue
hir
,
but
to
the
end
she
might
by
that
meane
voluntarily
runne
in
exile
,
and
be
drenched
in
the
Sea
:
so
that
it
might
after
haue
ben
said
,
how
by
fortune
of
the
sea
,
and
iudgement
of
the
Goddes
,
she
was
for
hir
cruell
,
mischeuous
and
wicked
déedes
,
iustly
punished
.
Neuerthelesse
,
she
aunswered
that
messangers
,
that
flie
she
would
not
,
nor
yet
refuse
the
iudgement
of
the
Macedonians
.
Which
thing
Cassander
perceyuing
,
he
for
feare
that
the
people
and
assemblie
of
the
men
of
warre
would
alter
their
determinations
and
minds
,
when
they
vnderstood
she
was
well
able
to
purge
hir
of
euery
offence
wherewith
they
would
charge
hir
,
and
should
likewise
reduce
and
call
to
memory
the
great
good
turnes
and
honour●
by
them
long
before
at
the
hands
of
Phillip
and
Alexander
receiued
,

of
his
trustiest
soldiers
about
him
to
kill
hir
.
Who
with
great
violence
entring
the
Palaice
where
she
was
,
were
at
the
first
sight
so
abashed
with
the
Maiestie
of
hir
face
,
that
they
returned
without
doing
hir
any
hurte
.
But
their
kinsfolkes
whom
she
caused
to
be
slayne
,
thinking
to
reuenge
their
deaths
,
&
also
to
gratifie
Cassander
,
out
of

slew
hir
,
who
neuer
made

or
shewed
any

In

The
.xx.
Chapter
.
WHen
Cassander
thus
gloriously
&
prosperously
raigned
,
he
affected
the
realme
of
Macedon
,
and
the
better
to
bring
his
purpose
to
passe
,
espoused
Thessalonice
,
Thessalonice
.
Phillip
his
daughter
and
Alexander
his
sister
both
by
father
and
mother
,
being
always
desirous
to
insinuate
him selfe
with
the
ligne
royall
.
He
likewise
in
the
countrey
of
Palene
,
within
the
Region
of
Macedone
,
found
and
built
a
citie
named
Cassandria
,
The
Citie
of
Cassandria
.
and
peopled
it
with
inhabitaunts
of
the
Cities
of
Cheronese
and
Potede
,
and
diuerse
other
villages
about
the
same
Citie
,
and
the
remnaunt
of
the
Olinthians
.
By
whiche
meane
&
also
bycause
of
the
great
&
fertile
territorie
,
he
laid
and
gaue
thereto
and
by
other
ways
he
tooke
,
wherewith
on
hand
to
enlarge
and
make
it
great
.
The
Citie
in
short
time
became
so
mightie
and
riche
,
that
it
was
named
to
be
the
greatest
and
worshipfullest
amongs
all
the
Cities
of
Macedone
.
Nowe
had
Cassander
purposed
to
put
to
death
Alexander
his
sonne
,
and
Roxanne
his
mother
:
to
the
end
,
there
shoulde
no
more
of
Alexanders
ligne
remayne
on
liue
.
But
before
he
would
execute
this
execrable
murder
,
he
stayed
,
first
to
vnderstand
what
the
Macedonians
thought
of
the
death
of
Olympias
,
&
what
talke
was
emongs
them
:
togither
what
Antigone
did
in
Asie
.
Wherefore
he
all
that
while
caused
Roxanne
and
hir
sonne
to
be
brought
into
the
Castle
of
Amphipolis
,
and
charged
Glaucias
Captayne
thereof
and
one
whome
he
greatly
trusted
with
the
kéeping
of
them
,
commaunding
him
to
vse
and
treat
them
no
other
wayes
but
as
common
persones
,
laying
al
princilie
honours
and
dignities
towardes
them
aparte
,
and
to
put
away
all
the
children
which
had
ben
brought
vp
with
the
said
Sonne
of
Alexander
,
as
his
playe
fellowes
.
After
that
,
he
tooke
vppon
him
the
aucthoritie
and
gouernement
as
King
,
and
caused
solemne
exequies
for
Euridice
and
Phillip
,
whome
Olympias
had
made
be
murdred
,
to
be
celebrated
,
&
with
great
pompe
and
solemnitie
entombed
them
in
a
tombe
royall
with
the
Kings
their
predecessours
,
making
sports
and
pastimes
,
at
those
dayes
accustomed
.
That
done
,
he
leuied
a
great
numbre
of
men
of
warre
in
the
countrey
of
Macedone
,
to
go
into
Peloponese
.
While
Cassander
was
thus
occupied
,
and
that
Polispercon
who
laye
besieged
in
the
Citie
of
Naxe
,
in
the
Region
of
Perrheby
,
vnderstood
of
Olympias
death
,
apperceyuing
no
longer
hope
for
him
to
take
in
hand
to
rule
the
affaires
of
Macedone
.
priuilie
by
night
stoale
out
of
the
Citie
with
a
fewe
of
his
people
,
and
passing
through
Thessaly
,
tooke
the
Souldiours
with
Eucide
,
and
trauelled
into
Ethole
(
where
he
was
verie
well
beloued
)
to
see
what
retinue
or
traine
would
there
gouerne
the
affaires
of
Macedone
,
hoping
to
find
some
mutacion
or
chaunge
.
After
Cassander
had
assembled
a
mightie
armie
,
he
sped
him
into
Peleponnese
to
chase
Alexander
the
Sonne
of
Polispercon
,
bycause
there
was
not
one
of
his
enimies
which
hadde
an
whole
armie
but
he
,
who
also
had
fortified
and
furnished
all
the
Townes
and
Castles
of
the
same
Countrey
,
by
hym
thought
most
meete
and
defensible
.
Thus
without
empechement
or
stoppe
,
passed
Cassander

of
Thessaly

But
after
he
was
come
to
the
entrie
of
the
Piles
the
Etholian
.
kept
him
such
play
,
and
so
stoutly
resisted
him
,
that
with
great
and
difficult
payne
,
he
perforce
wanne
the
passage
:
but
after
he
was
passed
&
had
entred
the
countrey
of
Beote
,
he
sped
him
to
bring
backe
and
agayne
to
assemble
all
the
Thebanes
,
and
to
restore
and
reedifie
the
Citie
of
Thebes
,
thinking
be
should
therby
get
both
great
praise
and
immortall
fame
:
aswell
for
the
high
and
incomparable
facts
of
the
same
Citie
,
as
also
for
the
maruellous
reports
which
came
thereon
.
And
bycause
it
had
ben
greatly
altered
and
chaunged
,
&
oftentimes
made
desolate
,
I
thinke
good
to
make
some
notable
declaration
of
the
fortunes
and
chaunces
that
thereto
happened
.
¶
Of
the
foundation
and
fortunes
of
the
Citie
of
Thebes
in
Beota
.
The
.xxj.
Chapter
.
AFter
the
deluge
and
flood
of
Deucation
,
the
Citie
of
Thebes
in
Beote
was
by
Cadme
first
founded
&
built
,
Cadme
.
and
by
his
name
called
Cadme
,
by
the
Spartes
inhabited
,
to
saye
,
a
people
dispersed
,
bycause
the
recourse
there
was
of
al
sortes
.
It
was
by
some
also
named
Thebicene
to
wete
dwelling
at
Thebes
,
for
that
by
reason
of
the
deluge
,
the
people
departed
thence
and
scattered
abroad
in
diuerse
countreys
,
and
after
returned
thyther
.
It
fortuned
after
,
that
the
Eucheleians
(
by
force
)
chased
and
expulsed
the
said
inhabitants
aboute
the
same
season
that
Cadme
with
his
people
was
put
to
flight
,
and
fled
into
the
countrey
of
Illyrie
.
After
that
,
Amphion
and
Zethe
who
had
the
gouernement
thereof
,
Amphion
.
Zethe
.
enlarged
the
same

Who

Thebane
Towne
:
And
with

gates
,
to
winne
fame
and
renowne
.
Yet
after
that
,
the
inhabitaunts
whome
Amphion
&
Zethe
had
thyther
brought
,
were
by
Polidore
the
sonne
of
Cadme
the
second
time
expulsed
,
Polydore
.
by
reason
of
a
sodaine
mortalitie
whiche
happened
Amphion

children
.
And
in
processe
of
time
,
the
same
being
by
the
successours
of
the
saide
Polydor
gouerned
,
all
the
countrey

of

,
so
called

the
sonne
of

which
somtime
ruled
there
.
Neptune
.
The
Argiues
likewise
the
third
time
expulsed
the
Thebanes
,
Menalippe
.
and
tooke
the
Citie
.
But
after
the
Argiues
were
gone
agayn
into
their
countrey
,
the
Thebanes
which
retired
into
Alcomene
,
in
the
mountaine
of
Thilphosine
,
returned
home
.
Yet
after
that
certen
of
the
said
Thebanes
were
gone
to
the
siege
of
Troye
,
the
Pelasgians
draue
so
many
as
remayned
at
home
,
both
oute
of
the
Citie
&
Countrey
,
who
continued
in
exile
in
diuerse
miseries
vntill
the
fourth
generation
,
as
by
an
Augurie
of
certen
Crowes
was
presaged
.
But
in
the
end
,
the
succession
of
the
exiles
,
in
the
fourth
generation
returned
,
and
there
enhabited
the
space
of
eyght
hundred
yeares
.
Who
were
the
first
that
gouerned
that
Region
,
and
after
contended
and
fought
for
the
Empire
of
Grece
vntil
the
tyme
that
Alexander
the
sonne
of
Phillip
(
by
force
)
tooke
the
citie
,
and
after
razed
it
.
But
about
.xx.
yeares
after
,
Cassander
(
desirous
of
glorie
as
aforesaid
)
through
his
earnest
request
and
maruellous
persuasions
,
by
the
assent
and
consent
of
the
whole
countrey
,
reedified
it
,
and
repeopled
it
with
those
which
liued
,
and
of
the
ligne
of
the
exiles
which
were
dead
,
aswel
for
the
pitie
he
had
of
the
miserable
people
,
as
also
for
the
glorie
&
renoume
of
the
citie
.
The

at

After

The

THe
yeare

wherein
Praxibule
was
created
Gouernour
of
Athens
,
and
Nance
,
Spure
&
Marcke
Popill
were
chosen
Consulles
at
Rome
,
after
Antigone
had
gyuen
to
Aspise
one
of
the
Satrapes
of
the
countrey
,
the
Satrapie
of
Susiane
,
Aspise
.
he
got
togyther
a
numbre
of
charriotes
and
Camelles
to
carrie
all
his
golde
and
siluer
to
sea
,
and
with
them
and
his
armie
tooke
his
iourney
to
Babylon
.
And
when
he
had
in
.xx.
dayes
iourneis
reached
Babylon
,
Seleuke
Gouernour
of
that
Prouince
,
honorablie
receyued
him
,
on
whome
he
bestowed
great
giftes
,
and
roially
banquetted
his
souldiours
.
Notwithstanding
Antigone
called
him
to
an
accompt
,
for
the
reuenue
of
the
said
Prouince
.
And
bicause
he
held
&
mainteyned
that
he
was
not
accomptable
for
it
,
considering
that
the
said
Prouince
was
by
the
Macedonians
in
the
life
of
Alexander
,
for
his
merites
and
good
seruice
bestowed
on
him
,
they
were
at
some
controuersie
.
Neuerthelesse
after
Seleuke
had
remembred
his
dealing
towards
Python
,
he
much
doubted
that
Antigone
vnder
like
colour
,
would
make
quicke
dispatch
of
him
,
for
so
much
as
it
was
well
knowen
,
that
he
endeuoured
hym
to
discomfite
all
the
noble
personages
and
men
in
aucthoritie
,
which
were
appointed
for
the
ruling
and
gouernement
of
any
good
and
honest
businesse
.
Wherfore
bycause
of
the
notable
fame
and
renoume
whiche
was
blowen
abroad
of
Ptolome
,
his
great
honour
and
honestie
,
and
also
his
gentlie
and
friendlie
entreaty
of
al
such
as
came
vnto
him
for
helpe
,
he
with
.
L.
horse
departed
thence
,
and
fled
into
Egipt
vnto
him
.
Whiche
newes
wonderfully
ioyed
and
gladded
Antigone
,
bycause
he
thought
the
would
be
such
a
colour
for
him
,
that
no
man
shoulde
be
able
to
reproche
him
and
saye
he
had
layde
hands
on
Seleuke
his
great
friend
,
who
had
with
his
power
always
ayded
him
:
but
that
of
his
owne
mynde
he
voluntarily
fled
,
and
by
that
meane
left
him
withoute
question
or
difficultie
,
the
said
Satrapie
.
But
after
he
was
by
the
Chaldees
aduertized
and
admonished
,
that
if
Seleuke
escaped
his
hands
,
he
should
be
Lorde
and
King
of
the
whole
Empire
of
Asie
,
and
s●
ea
hym
in
battaill
:
he
then
maruellous
sorie
repented
him
of
his
escape
.
Wherfore
he
sent
out
in
all
possible
post
,
certen
horsse
after
him
,
who
in
long
pursuite
and
doing
lesse
good
,
returned
.
And
although
Antigone
gaue
no
great
faith
or
credit
to
such
diuinations
,
yet
by
reason
of
the
aucthoritie
of
the
said
Chaldees
,
and
their
great
and
long
knowledge
and
experience
in
the
course
and
influence
of
the
starres
,
he
was
meruellouslie
troubled
.
For
the
people
of
that
countrey
and
sect
,
had
alone
a
thousande
yeares
wholie
applied
them selues
to
that
kind
of
studie
and
knowledge
.
Which
thing
by
their
great
experiences
,
well
appeared
,
and
chieflie
by
Alexander
his
death
,
of
whome
they
presaged
that
if
he
entred
Babylon
,
he
shoulde
there
lose
his
life
.
And
as
that
prediction
proued
true
in
Alexander
,
euen
so
according
to
their
diuination
of
Antigone
happened
him
,
as
hereafter
when
we
come
to
the
time
wherein
it
chaunced
,
shall
at
large
be
declared
.
But
for
this
time
let
vs
out
of
hand
treat
of
the
armie
of
Seleuke
in
Egipt
.
¶
Of
Seleuke
his
practize
and
deuise
,
touching
the
alliaunce
and
confederacie
betwixt
Ptolome
,
Cassander
&
Lysimache
,
against
Antigone●
of
their
defiaunce
they
send
him
,
and
of
his
preparation
against
them
.
Also
of
his
siege
aginst
the
Citie
of
Tyre
in
Phenice
.
The
.xxiiij.
Chapter
.
WHen
Seleuke
was
come
into
Egipt
,
Ptolome
right
honorablie
and
curteouslie
receyued
him
.
To
whom
he
recompted
the
vngentle
and
disloyall
dealing
of
Antigone
against
him
:
declaring
farther
,
that
Antigone
his
meaning
was
to
expulse
and
vanquish
all
the
Satrapes
which
had
any
rule
or
dominion
,
and
especiallie
all
those
which
had
ben
in
houshold
with
Alexander
.
And
the
more
to
asserten
him
of
the
trueth
that
it
was
so
,
he
recompted
how
he
had
put
to
death
Python
,
expulsed
Penceste
Perse
,
and
all
he
had
done
to
him selfe
:
where
neyther
he
nor
they
had
once
offended
him
,
but
had
employed
and
bestowed
all
their
trauaill
and
seruice
,
as
his
deare
friends
and
complices
.
He
farther
shewed
him
the
mightie
power
he
had
of
men
,
and
hys
innumerable
treasure
:
togyther
the
great
victories
and
prosperitie
he
had
in
short
time
atchieued
:
whereby
he
beganne
to
waxe
so
proude
and
arrogaunt
,
that
he
affected
the
whole
Empire
of
Macedone
.
By
these
tales
&
reports
had
he
persuaded
Ptolome
to
prepare
and
resist
him
.
And
agayne
sent
certen
of
his
friends
into
Europe
towards
Cassander
and
Lysimache
,
to
perusade
them
to
do
the
like
:
who
diligentlie
performed
their
charge
.
By
reason
whereof
they
forged
manie
practizes
,
whiche
were
the
originall
and
beginning
of
great
dissention
&
warres
.
For
Antigone
who
doubted
(
&
not
without
good
cause
)
the
euill
will
of
Seleuke
against
him
,
and
the
practizes
he
would
deuise
,
sent
his
Ambassadours
towardes
Ptolome
,
Cassander
,
and
Lysimache
,
to
exhorte
and
desire
them
to
continue
and
remayne
his
olde
and
auncient
friends
.
Neuerthelesse
after
he
had
created
Python
who
descended
from
the
Indians
,
Pithon
.
Gouernour
of
Babylon
,
and
left
him
there
,
he
tooke
his
iourney
with
the
whole
armie
,
and
marched
towardes
Cilicie
:
And
after
he
was
come
to
Maley
,
Maley
.
he
diuided
his
armie
into
diuerse
places
to
winter
.
The
Citie
of
Quint.
He
tooke
also
all
the
money
he
could
gette
in
the
Citie
of
Quint
,
amounting
to
.x.
thousand
Talents
:
&
with
the
rest
he
brought
with
him
,
he
was
maruelouslie
prouided
of
gold
and
siluer
,
besides
his
cleare
yerely
reuenue
of
.xj.
thousand
Talents
.
Antigone
hys
yearelie
reuenue
.
By
reason
whereof
,
as
also
for
his
mightie
puissaunce
of
Souldiours
and
men
of
warre
,
he
was
much
to
be
feared
.
When
winter
was
past
,
as
Antigone
with
his
whole
power
had
taken
hys
iourney
to
come
into
the
hier
Syrie
,
the
Ambassadours
of
Ptolome
,
Cassander
,
and
Lysimache
came
vnto
him
:
who
hauing
open
audience
to
tell
their
Ambassade
,
demaunded
of
him
to
restore
to
Cassander
the
countreys
of
Cappadoce
and
Lycie
,
to
rendre
Lysimache
Phrygie
and
Hellespont
,
to
yeld
vp
to
Ptolome
all
Sirie
,
and
to
deliuer
to
Seleuke
Babilon
.
And
that
he
would
also
make
an
egall
deuision
with
them
of
all
the
treasure
he
had
gotten
and
taken
since
the
warres
commenced
against
Eumenes
:
bycause
they
had
ben
pertakers
with
him
,
and
companions
in
the
said
warres
.
And
in
case
he
refused
this
to
do
,
they
denounced
to
him
in
the
names
of
them
all
,
that
they
would
allie
and
ioyne
togyther
,
to
arrere
mortall
hostilitie
against
him
.
When
Antigone
had
heard
this
their
Ambassade
,
he
with
arrogaunt
&
insolent
wordes
aunswered
,
and
amongs
other
things
willed
and
charged
them
to
tell
Ptolome
that
he
made
good
and
strong
preparation
to
stand
to
his
defence
.
When
the
Ambassadoures
were
returned
and
had
made
reporte
of
their
aunswer
,
the
saide
Ptolome
,
Cassander
and
Lysimache
,
reallied
togyther
,
and
made
the
greatest
preparation
of
men
,
armoure
,
and
all
other
things
necessarie
for
the
warres
,
they
possiblie
could
.
When
Antigone
vnderstood
thereof
,
and
considered
the
noblenesse
,
puissaunce
and
aucthoritie
of
those
against
whome
he
tooke
on
hande
warres
:
he
drew
to
his
amitie
and
alliaunce
all
the
Princes
,
Nations
and
Cities
he
could
get
.
For
accomplishing
wherof
,
he
sent
Ageselaye
towardes
the
Kings
of
Cypres
,
and
to
the
Rhodians
,
Idonome
and
Moschion
.
He
sent
also
into
Cappadoce
an
armie
with
his
Nephew
Ptolome
,
to
raise
the
siege
before
the
citie
of
Amisse
,
and
to
expulse
all
Cassanders
Souldiours
that
countrey
:
gyuing
him
farther
in
charge
to
haue
a
vigilaunt
eye
and
take
good
heede
,
the
Cassander
passed
not
into
Asie
,
through
Hellespont
.
Moreouer
,
Aristodeme
.
he
sent
Aristodeme
the
Milesian
with
a
thousand
Talents
to
Peloponnese
to
make
alliaunce
with
Polispercon
&
Alexander
his
sonne
,
and
to
get
togyther
there
,
so
many
men
as
they
could
,
and
forthwith
warre
vpon
Cassander
.
That
done
,
he
sent
to
make
readie
hys
posts
&
Beacons
,
throughout
al
the
countrey
of
Asie
vnder
his
obeissance
:
by
which
he
might
in
all
his
affaires

These
things
set

,
he
sped
him
towards
the
countrey
of
Phenice
,
meaning
there
to
prepare
and
make
readie
a
Nauie
to
send
to
Sea
:
bycause
the
enimie
was
yet
strongest
at
Sea
:
by
reason
of
their
great
Nauie
,
and
himselfe
altogyther
disfurnished
.
And
when
he
was
come
into
Phenice
,
he
encamped
before
the
Citie
of
Tyre
,
meaning
to
besiege
it
.
Neuerthelesse
,
he
sent
towards
the
Kings
of
the
Countrey
,
and
Gouernours
of
Syrie
,
exhorting
and
requiring
their
ayde
and
helpe
for
the
addressing
his
Nauie
to
sea
:
bycause
all
the
ships
which
had
ben
before
in
the
countrey
,
Ptolome
had
sent
into
Egipt
.
He
commaunded
also
the
Lieutenaunts
of
Syrie
to
furnish
him
with
so
muche
wheat
,
as
should
suffise
the
maintenaunce
of
hys
armie
for
one
whole
yeare
,
and
him selfe
got
togyther
all
the
Carpenters
,
Sawyers
and
shipwrights
he
could
finde
,
and
caused
them
to
fell
an
innumerable
numbre
of
trées
in
the
mount
Libane
,
The
mount
Libane
.
whiche
were
carried
to
the
Sea
side
,
for
he
had
.viij.
thousand
men
to
fell
,
sawe
and
build
ships
,
besides
a
thousand
waines
for
carriage
.
It
is
to
be
vnderstoode
,
that
the
Mountaine
is
of
a

length
,
for
it
runneth
alongest
from
the
Cities
of
Tripolis

to
Sydone
,
full
of
an
innumerable
numbre
of
maruelous
high
and
mightie
Cedres
and
Cypres
trées
.
He
likewise
caused
.iij.
mightie
Docks
to
be
cut
oute
to
build
the
sayd
shippes
in
,
one
at

:
and
another
at
Rhodes
,
by
the
consent
of
the
citizens
,
likewise
to
build
shippes
in
.
As
Antigone
was
thus
occupied
in
building
of
shippes
,
&
encamped
about
the
sea
side
,
Seleuke
commeth
out

who
would
saye
,
in

Antigone

At

the
Citizens

were
in
great
terrour
and
feare
,
being
then
apparaunt
that
the
enimie
was
Lord
and
King
at

Wherefore
they
thought
,
they
went
to
forraie
and
robbe
their
Cities
and
territories
.
When
Antigone
sée
them
thus
daunted
,
he
comforted
them
in
the
best
maner
he
could
,
saying
,
that

would
that

be

Ageselay

by

and

the
Citie
of

.
The
.xxvj.
Chapter
.
BUt
now
we
will
returne
to
the
Chieftaynes
and
Ambassadoures
whom
Antigone
hadde
sent
into
diuerse
places
to
make
new
alliaunces
.
And
first
,
Aristodeme
who
was
sent
towards
the
Spartians
,
Aristodeme
.
hadde
by
their
permission
and
sufferaunce
,
assembled
in
the
countrey
of
Peloponnese
.viij.
thousand
footemen
,
with
whome
he
went
to
seeke
out
Alexander
Polispercon
his
Sonne
,
and
in
Antigone
his
name
allied
with
him
&
his
father
:
through
which
alliaunce
he
left
the
gouernement
of
the
countrey
of
Peloponnese
to
Polispercon
,
and
persuaded
Alexander
to
go
into
Asie
towardes
Antigone
,
whiche
he
performed
.
And
the
other
Chieftaynes
,
to
wete
,
Ptolome
his
Nephew
whome
he
had
sent
into
Cappadoce
with
a
great
armie
,
deliuered
the
citie
of
Amise
from
the
siege
,
which
Asclepiodore
one
of
Cassander
his
Captaynes
laye
before
,
Amise
.
and
vpon
composition
dismissed
him
with
all
his
Souldiours
,
Asclepiodore
.
and
so
recouered
the
Satrape
.
From
thence
he
went
into
Bythanie
,
and
finding
Zibith
King
of
the
said
countrey
besieging
the
Cities
of
Calcedone
and
Astacone
,
forced
him
to
raise
it
,
and
after
allied
with
him
,
and
the
said
cities
,
and
tooke
of
them
ostages
.
From
thence
he
trauailled
into
Ionye
and
Lydie
:
bicause
Antigone
had
written
to
him
to
make
so
great
spéed
as
might
be
to
the
Regions
lying
and
bordering
vpon
the
sea
,
bycause
he
vnderstood
the
Seleuke
was
sayling
towardes
those
quarters
.
And
at
last
Seleuke
arriued
in
the
Countreys
,
and
besieged
the
citie
of
Erythe
.
But
after
he
was
aduertised
of
Ptolome
his
comming
,
he
retired
without
doing
of
any
thing
.
When
Alexander
was
come
to
Antigone
,
he
confirmed
and
sware
the
alliaunce
for
him
and
Polispercon
his
Father
.
Then
assembled
he
all
his
men
of
warre
,
and
in
presence
of
them
,
charged
and
greatlie
accused
Cassander
,
but
chieflie
for
the
death
of
Olympias
,
and
the
detayning
of
Roxanne
&
hir
sonne
in
prison
:
alleadging
moreouer
that
he
forciblie
had
espoused
Thessalonicke
,
and
in
déed
meant
thereby
openly
to
vsurpe
the
Realme
of
Macedone
.
And
farther
obiected
,
that
he
had
suffered
the
Citie
of
Olynthe
chief
enemie
to
the
Macedonians
,
to
be
reenhabited
,
and
also
reedified
the
citie
of
Thebes
,
whiche
Alexander
,
surnamed
the
great
,
hadde
destroied
and
razed
.
When
he
sée
,
that
by
the
meanes
of
those
accusations
and
tales
the
men
of
warre
and
Souldiers
there
assembled
,
were
with
Cassander
greatlie
despited
:
he
incontinent
caused
a
decrée
to
be
written
&
proclaimed
:
wherin
Cassander
was
pronounced
an
enimie
,
except
he
wold
raze
the
said
two
cities
,
set
at
libertie
the
said
King
and
Roxanne
his
mother
into
the
hands
and
gard
of
the
Macedonians
,
and
also
wholie
obey
Antigone
,
named
and
chosen
Emperoure
of
the
armie
,
protector
and
regent
of
the
Kings
,
and
of
the
realme
of
Macedone
.
He
woulde
also
it
should
be
denounced
,
that
all
the
Grekes
were
discharged
of
al
garrisonnes
and
other
impositions
,
to
liue
at
libertie
according
to
their
auncient
and
accustomed
woonte
.
When
this
Decrée
had
bene
thus
by
the
common
assent
and
consent
of
the
whole
armie
ratified
and
approued
.
Antigone
by
&
by
sent
it
throughout
all
quarters
to
be
published
,
trusting
that
the
Grekes
in
hope
to
come
at
libertie
,
would
allie
and
ioyne
with
hym
.
He
likewise
thought
that
when
the
Satrapes
and
Gouernours
of
the
Satrapies
of
the
hier
countreys
of
Asie
(
whiche
still
ymagined
that
Antigone
would
clerelie
extinquish
the
Kings
,
and
all
the
ligne
Royal
of
Alexander
)
apperceyued
that
he
nowe
enterprised
and
publikelie
tooke
in
hande
,
the
warres
for
the
defence
of
the
Kings
,
they
would
alter
&
chaunge
their
determination
&
purpose
,
&
gladlie
become
obedient
and
subiect
to
him
.
That
done
,
he
gaue
to
Alexander
.v.
hundred
Talents
,
and
sent
him
into
Peloponnese
laden
and
fraught
with
faire
promisses
,
and
in
hope
to
be
preferred
to
some
great
authoritie
and
honour
.
He
sent
also
for
his
ships
to
Rhodes
,
the
greater
numbre
of
which
he
made
readie
and
furnished
,
and
after
embarqued
and
sailed
to
Tyre
,
Tyre
.
and
both
by
sea
&
land
besieged
the
citie
the
space
of
.xv.
monethes
,
so
that
nothing
could
be
brought
into
it
.
Whereupon
in
the
ende
they
were
enforced
to
render
vppon
thys
composition
and
agréement
,
that
all
Ptolome
his
Souldiours
within

,
should
with

vnderstood
the
edict

decrée
which
Antigone
and
the
Macedonians
had
made
for
the
libertie
of
Grece
,
bycause
he
would
it
should
to
the
Grekes
be
knowen
,
that
he
had
so
good
an
hart
and
will
to
restore
them
to

,
as
the
said
Antigone
,
he
caused
the
like
proclamation
to
be
made
,
and
before
them
to
be
notified
and
published
.
For
eyther
of
them
made
great
accompte
,
and
thought
it
a
verie
good
way
to
win
the
Grekes
to
stand
their

,
and
therfore
they
contended
howe

In
this
meane
time
the
Argiues
not
content
with
Cassander
,
sent
to
Alexander
Polispercon
his
sonne
,
and
promised
to
yelde
him

Towne
,
but
he
so
detracted
his
comming

that
Cassander
was

&
when
he
had
entred

,
the
Traitours
conspiratours
tooke
the
Palaice
for

,
which
he
besieged

.
And
of
the
reste
be
put
some
to
death
,
and
sent

The

time
Cassander
aduertised
of

sailing
of
Aristodeme
into
Peloponnese
,
and

first
assaied
,
if
he
could
withdrawe

remoue
Polispercon
and
Alexander
his
sonne
from
the
amitie
of
Antigone
.
And
séeing
it
would
not
frame
,
he
passed
throughe
the
countrey
of
Thessalie
into
Beote
,
and
strengthning
the
Thebanes
with
ayde
for
restauracion
of
their

,
entred

and
tooke
by

The
Citie
of

and
made
incursions
on
the
territories
of
Corinthe
,
and
there
winning
two
castles
by
force
:
licenced
Alexanders
Souldiours
to
departe
without
dommage
or
hurte
.
After
that
,
he
was
by
a

which
loued
not

receyued

,

and
licenced

the
Temple
of

,
and
to
do
with
them
what
they
listed
,
whome
they
incontinent
contrarie
to
the
lawe
and
common
custome
of
Grece
,
put
to
the
sworde
.
After

,
Cassander
came

,

and
séeing
it
to

passed
on

in

countrey
he
left

,

and
him selfe
returned
to
Argos
,
where
he
caused
manie
tou●
noys
to
be
done
,
and
after
returned
to
Macedone
.
Whereof
Alexander
aduertised
,
tooke
with
him
Aristodeme
,
and
warred
vpon
all
the
Cities
whiche
Cassander
had
wonne
and
furnished
with
garrisonnes
,
thinking
to
bring
vnder
his
subiection
the
saide
Cities
,
promising
to
restore
them
to
libertie
.
Which
Cassander
vnderstanding
,
sent
towardes
him
Propelle
,
Propelle
.
by
whome
he
offred
,
if
he
would
yeld
and
reuolt
from

,
to
gyue
him

gouernement
of
Peloponnese
,
and
the
aucthoritie
ouer
all
the
armie
:
&
farther
,
to
vse
him
as
his
companion
,
and
aduaunce
him
to
great
honour
and
dignitie
.
When
Alexander
had
considered
that
the
same
offer
whereunto
Cassander
graunted
,
was
the
onely
occasion
of
the
warres
betwene
them
,
he
allied
with
hym
,
&
so
became
and
remayned
Gouernour
of
Peloponnese
.
In
this
meane
while
,
Policlete
sent
by
Seleuke
out
of
Cypres
touched
at
Cencre
,
Polyclete
.
and
vnderstanding
of
Alexander
his
reuolte
,
and
séeing
there
no
armie
of
aduersaries
,
sailed
into
Pamphilie
,
Aphrodise
.
and
from
thence
to
the
citie
of
Aphrodise
in
Cilice
,
Theodote
.
where
he
vnderstood
,
that
Theodote
Admirall
for
Antigone
,
was
loused
from
Patare
in
the
region
of
Lycie
,
Patare
.
in
the
shippes
whiche
came
from
Rhodes
,
manned
with
Marriners
of
Carie
:
Perilaye
.
and
that
Perilaye
for
the
more
safetie
of
the
said
Nauie
,
went
by
land
with
a
terrible
armie
.
Wherefore
he
by
ambushes
deceyued
both
the
said
armies
:
for
he
closelie
laid
a
numbre
of
men
against
the
enimie
which
came
by
land
,
where
they
must
néedes
passe
:
and
him selfe
with
the
Nauie
laye
behind
a
promontorie
,
attending
the
enimie
to
battaill
.
It
happened
that
the
armie
by
land
first
lighted
vpon
the
Ambushe
,
where
being
surprised
and
sodenlie
come
vppon
,
they
were
almost
all
slaine
and
taken
prisoners
:
amongs
whome
was
Perilaus
,
all
in
the
sight
of
the
Rhodian
Nauie
:
who
with
great
spéede
making
towardes
the
lande
to
their
ayde
,
were
by
Policlete
which
there
road
in
order
of
battail
,
so
lustelie
bourded
,
that
they
discomfited
all
the
whole
Nauie
,
and
prized
their
shippes
,
and
the
greater
numbre
of
their
men
:
amongs
whome
was
Theodotus
,
who
soone
after
,
of
the
woundes
he
had
receiued
in
fight
,
died
.
When
Polyclete
had
thus
without
daunger
wonne
these
victories
,
he
sailed
into
Cypres
,
and
from
thence
to
Peluse
,
whome
Ptolome
honorablie
receyued
,
and
with
great
rewardes
and
giftes
rewarded
,
and
to
him
gaue
a
farre
greater
charge
,
as
to
the
Aucthor
of
that
notable
and
honorable
victorie
.
He
deliuered
also
Perilaus
and
manie
other
prisoners
,
for
deliuerie
of
which
Antigone
had
sent
an
honorable
Ambassade
,
and
to
treat
a
peace
.
Which
treatie
was
graunted
to
be
had
at
the
place
called
the
Eruption
where
they
met
togyther
,
and
commoned
of
the
matter
,
but
departed
without
conclusion
,
bycause
Antigone
would
not
agrée
to
Ptolome
his
demaundes
.
The
same
season
the
Romaynes
inuading
the
Samnites
,
tooke
by
force
from
them
the
Citie
of
Ferent
in
Ponille
.
But
the
Citizens
of
Nucere
called
Alphaterne
,
by
the
persuasion
of
some
reuolted
from

and
confederated
with

And

After

WHen
Cassander
had
considered
,
that
the
Etholians
(
which
fauoured
Antigone
)
warred
against
the
Acarnanians
their
neighbours

he
thought
he
should
do
very
well
to
allie
with
the
Acarnanians
in
that
warre
,
and
so
abase
and
represse

Whereupon
he
trauailed
with

of

into

encamped
about

the
importaunce
of

warres
which
they
so
long
had
had
so
néere
hand
,
and
yet
stil
continued
.
And
the
better
to
encounter
them
,
said
,
that
it
was
very
néedfull
,
that
they
did
forsake
the
indefensible
small
townes
and
villages
,
and
get
them
into
two
or

amongs

promised

After

he

who
trusting

WHen

And

but
apperceyuing
they
would
not

they
fouraged

besieged

Then

the
Samnites
with
all
their

came
thyther
to
raise
the
siege
,
where
both

ioyned

fought
together
.
In
which
battaill
were
many
slaine
,
but
the
Romaines
had
still
the
better
,
tooke
the
Citie
,
and
after
subdued
al
the
whole
countrey
.
When
the
Samnites
sée
that
their
only
strife
was
for
the
countrey
and
cities
of
Pouil
,
they
prepared
an
oste
and
sent
out
their
generall
letters
and
commaundements
,
by
which
all
the
Citizens
and
subiects
able
to
beare
armoure
,
were
commanded
to
come
,
and
then
encamped
hard
by
the
Romaines
,
being
all
determined
to
fight
for
the
totall
of
their
estate
.
The
Romaines
likewise
knowing
the
importaunce
of
that
battaill
,
sent
great
strength

supplices
of
men
:

appointed

on

side
were
many
men
slaine

But
in

ende
,
the
Romaines
were
discomfited
and
put
to

.
Which
Elye
séeing
,
bicause
he
would
auoide
the
shame
to
be
said
he
fled
,
tarried
alone
in
the
battaill
,
&
there
valiauntlie
and
manfullie
fought
against
the
enimie
:
not
for
anie
hope
he
had
of
victorie
,
but
to
shewe
such
magnanimitie
to
be
in
him
,
as
an
apparaunt

of

inuincible
courages
of
the
Romaines

much
more
loued
honorably
to
die
in

,
than
to
liue

fled

After
this
discomfiture

,
the
Romaines
fearing

vnderstood
that

were
come
in

with

But
as
he
was
thus
purposed

newes
came
that

With
whiche
newes
Lysimache
verie
sore
troubled

left
so
many
of

thought
would
suffise

apperceyuing
him selfe
frustrate

numbre
of
men
as

vnder

gaue
him
in
charge
to
restore
the
cities
of
the

thinking
to
get
suche
credit
thereby
amongs
the
Grecians
,
that
they
woulde
firmelie
beléeue
,
how
he
vnfainedlie
desired
nothing
more
,
than
the
restoring
of
them
to
their
libertie
and
popular
gouernement
.
He
sent
also
his
intelligencers
to
learne
what
Cassander
did
.
And
shortly
after
that
Thelesphore
arriued
in
Peloponnese
,
he
deliuered
all
the
citizens
from
the
garrisons
of
Alexander
,
except
Sycione
and
Corinth
,
which
Polispercon
with
a
great
armie
helde
and
kept
,
whome
he
coulde
not
expulse
,
considering
the
great
strength
of
the
places
.
The
same
season
,
Phillip
.
Phillip
whome
Alexander
hadde
sent
as
Lieutenaunt
Generall
against
the
Etholians
,
after
his
comming
into
Carnanie
,
beganne
to
make
incursions
and
robberies
in
the
countrey
of
Etholie
.
But
soone
after
,
he
was
aduertised
that
Eacide
,
who
had
ben
expulsed
the
realme
of
Epyre
,
was
thyther
returned
,
and
had
assembled
a
great
armie
.
Wherefore
he
departed
thence
and
marched
forth
,
meaning
to
encountre
him
before
he
ioyned
with
the
armie
of
the
Etholians
.
But
he
found
at
his
first
comming
the
Epirotes
all
prest
&
readie
to
battaile
,
whom
he
so
forcibly
assayled
,
that
he
them
discomfited
,
slew
many
,
and
tooke
a
great
numbre
prisoners
,
and
amongst
the
rest
.
L.
of
those
which
had
bene
the
causers
of
Eacide
his
returne
into
Epire

Eacide

which
.
L.
he
sent
bound
to

But
they
escaped
with
Eacide
,
&
ioyned
agayne
with
the
Etholians
,
to
fight
a
freshe
,
whome
Phillip
likewise
discomfited
,
and
slew
the
greater
part
,
togyther
with
King
Eacide
him self
.
Thus
Philip
by
reason
of
his
two
great
victories
in
so
short
time
,
put
the
Etholians
in
suche
terrour
and
feare
of
him
,
that
they
abandoned
the
playne
countrey
and
vndefensable
places
,
and
with
their
wyues
and
children
got
vp
to
the
straights

And
vppon

they
beginne

The
.xxxvj.
Chapter

DUring
the
time
that
these
things
were
exploited
in
Grece
,
Cassander
(
Lieutenaunt
to
Ptolome
)
&
other
his
Allies
in
Asie
,
by
Antigone
oppressed
,
came
to
an
agréement
with
him
.
Wherein
these
articles
were
concluded
vpon
.
First
,
that
he
should
put
away
and
deliuer
hys
armie
to
Antigone
.
Item
,
that
he
should
set
the
Cities
Grecians
in

Item
,
that
he
shoulde
retayne
and
hold
the
Satrapies
he
had
first
gyuen
him
.
And
lastlie
,
that
he
should
become
and
remayne
Antigones
entier
and
deare
friend
.
For
suertie
and
performaunce
of
which
things
he
gaue
him
in
ostage
his
brother
Agathon
.
Agathon
.
Notwithstanding
before
many
dayes
past
,
he
repented
him
of
that
alliaunce
,
and
founde
the
meanes
by
stealth
to
get
awaye
his
brother
.
And
incontinent
after
he
sent
towardes
Ptolome
Seleuke
,
and
Cassander
,
to
send
aide
for
his
defence
and
suertie
.
Whereof
Antigone
aduertised
,
in
great
despite
,
sent
both
by
sea
and
lande
,
a
mightie
armie
to
set
the
Grecians
Cities
at
libertie
:
to
saie
,
Medius
.
Mede
his
Admirall
by
sea
,
and
Decime
by
land
.
And
when
they
arriued
before
the
citie
of
Mylese
,
Decimus
.
they
denounced
to
the
Citizens
,
Mylese
.
that
they
were
come
to
restore
them
to
their
auncient
libertie
,
and
to
expulse
the
garrison
in
the
Castle
.
In
this
meane
while
,
Antigone
tooke
be
force
the
citie
of
Tralles
Tralles
.
From
thence
he
marched
by
land
and
came
before
the
citie
of
Caune
,
Caune
.
whether
he
made
his
shippes
also
to
come
by
Sea
,
and
it
besieged
,
&
wonne
(
except
the
castle
)
he
could
not
presentlie
take
.
Howbeit
,
he
entrenched
it
on
that
side
it
was
siegeable
,
and
gaue
many
assauts
.
And
as
he
laye
thus
before
the
castle
,
he
sent
in
the
meane
time
Ptolome
with
one
part
of
his
armie
to
the
citie
of
Iase
,
Iase
.
and
draue
them
to
a
composition
,
whome
he
enforced
to
take
parte
with
Antigone
,
and
so
the
cities
of
the
countrey
of
Carie
became
subiect
to
Antigone
.
Few
dayes
after
,
the
Etholians
and
Beotians
sent
an
Ambassade
towardes
him
,
to
treat
an
alliaunce
,
which
was
concluded
vppon
.
That
done
,
he
came
to
a
communication
with
Cassander
about
Hellespont
,
thinking
to
haue
agréed
vpon
some
conclusion
of
peace
:
but
they
departed
doing
nothing
.
By
reason
wherof
Cassander
voyde
of
all
hope
of
peace
,
determined
againe
to
winne
the
Grecian
cities
.
Wherefore
he
departed
with
.xxx.
saile
to
besiege
the

And
as
Cassander
was

the

so
sodeyn
ayde
came
to
him
from

with

tooke
such

Again

marched

perceyuing
that
the
Samnites
laye
before

they
came
and
encamped
hard
at

forced

.
But
few
dayes
after
they
ioyned
battaill

wherein
manie
on

but
in

wanne
the

in

so
lustelie
pursued

During

time
,

before

knowen

,
the
Champanois
contrarie
to
their

entrenched

,
Salmone
.
he
brought
thyther
his
whole
power
.
For
he
verilie
trusted
to
take
the
Calcedonians
,
being
onelie
defended
from
the
enimie
but
by
a
garrison
of
Eubeans
.
But
Cassander
myndfull
of
Calcide
,
and
fearing
the
loste
thereof
raised
his
siege
from
before
Crea
,
and
came
to
the
laid
Calcide
,
and
commaunded
his
armie
to
marche
thyther
.
When
Antigone
vnderstoode
that
the
two
armies
were
assembled
there
togyther
,
watching
one
another
,
and
euerie
of
them
attending
the
oportunitie
and
aduauntge
,
he
commaunded
Mede
with
al
spéede
to
returne
into
Asie
.
And
at
his
comming
backe
,
he
agayn
enbarqued
hys
armie
and
hastily
sailed
into
Hellespont
,
thinking
through
Cas●
ander
his
absence
,
to
finde
the
countrey
of
Macedone
vnprouided
of
men
,
and
so
win
the
same
before
he
could
returne
from
Calcide
,
or
if
he
came
backe
for
the
defence
of
the
realme
of
Macedone
,
he
should
lose
that
he
held
in
Grece
.
When
Cassander
vnderstood
thereof
,
he
left
for
the
defence
of
Calcide
his
Lieutenaunt
Plistarche
,
Plistarche
.
with
a
numbre
of
his
men
,
and
him selfe
with
the
remnaunte
went
to
the
citie
of
Orope
in
B●
ote
,
and
by
force
tooke
it
,
and
trucyng
with
the
other
Cities
of
the
Countrey
of
Beoce
,
left
for
his
Lieutenaunt
in
Grece
Eupoleme
,
Eupoleme
.
and
returned
into
Macedone
,
chieflie
to
stoppe
the
enimie
for
passing
into
Europe
.
When
Antigone
was
come
to
the
passage
of
Propontide
,
he
sent
his
Ambassadoures
towardes
the
Bizancians
,
requiring
their
ayde
in
those
warres
:
who
there
found
for
the
same
matter
the
Ambassadoures
of
Lysimache
,
requiring
that
they
would
not
go
against
him
nor
Cassander
.
By
reason
whereof
the
Bizancians
fully
determined
to
take
neyther
part
.
When
Antigone
sée
he
failed
of
his
purpose
,
and
that
the
winter
drew
néere
,
he
deuided
hys
Souldiours
into
garrisons
,
and
sent
them
abroad
into
the
Countrey
to
winter
.
In
this
meane
time
the
Corcirians
with
the
ayde
of
the
Apollonians
and
Epidaurans
,
expulsed
Cassanders
garrisons
their
cities
,
and
set
at
libertie
the
citie
of
Apollonie
,
and
restored
Epydaure
to
the
King
of
Illirie
.
Ptolome
also
(
one
of
Antigone
his
Captaynes
)
after
Cassander
was
departed
into
Macedone
,
tooke
the
citie
of
Calcide
,
and
after
he
had
expulsed
the
garrison
of
the
enimie
,
he
restored
them
to
their
pristinate
estate
:
to
the
end
al
men
might
thinke
the
Antigone
sans
faile
would
restore
the
cities
of
Grece
to
libertie
.
For
if
he
had
ment
to
kéepe
&
retaine
the
same
citie
,
it
had
ben
a
méete
defence
for
such
as
would
continue
any
warres
to
haue
recourse
vnto
.
Ptolome
likewise
tooke
the
Citie
of
Orope
,
and
restored
it
to
the
Beotians
,
and
had
Cassander
Souldiours
in
his
power
.
After
he
made
alliaunce
with
the
Eretrians
and
Caristians
,
and
remoued
his
camp
to
the
citie
of
Athenes
,
(
Demetre
Phalerey
being
then
gouernour
thereof
)
.
But
the
Citizens
vnderstanding
of
his
comming
,
first
secretly
sent
Ambassadours
towardes
Antigone
,
praying
his
ayde
for
the
defence
of
their
citie
.
When
Ptolome
was
approched
the
Citie
,
they
constrained
Demetre
to
make
a
truce
,
and
after
to
send
to
Antigone
to
treat
an
alliaunce
.
After
the
truce
made
&
taken
,
he
departed
and
came
into
Beote
and
there
tooke
the
citie
of
Cadmea
,
Cadmea
.
thrust
oute
the
garrison
of
the
enimie
,
and
deliuered
the
Thebanes
.
From
thence
went
he
into
the
countrey
of
Phocide
,
and
there
expulsed
Cassanders
garrisons
the
cities
,
and
after
besieged
the
citie
of
Locres
,
Cassanders
confederate
.
The
same
season
the
Cyrenians
rebelled
against
Ptolome
,
and
besieged
the
castle
which
his
Souldiours
kept
,
thinking
out
of
hand
to
haue
taken
it
.
It
chaunced
the
same
time
certen
Ambassadours
to
come
out
of
Alexandrie
in
the
name
of
the
citie
,
to
praye
and
exhorte
them
to
surcease
and
gyue
ouer
their
enterprise
and
rebellion
:
whiche
Ambassadours
they
killed
,
&
then
made
greater
preparation
to
take
the
castle
.
Wherewith
Ptolome
sore
moued
and
agreeued
,
sent
by
lande
Agis
a
Captayne
,
with
a
mightie
armie
,
and
by
sea
Epinete
for
his
greater
succoure
.
Epinete
.
Which
Agis
forcibly
tooke
the
citie
,
Agis
.
and
sent
the
principall
aucthours
of
the
rebellion
into
Alexandrie
,
and
from
the
rest
tooke
their
armour
and
weapon
,
and
taking
order
about
the
affaires
of
the
citie
,
returned
into
Egipt
.
When
Ptolome
had
thus
reduced
the
Citie
of
Cirene
to
his
minde
,
he
departed
from
Egipt
,
and
went
into
Cypres
,
to
subdue
the
kings
which
would
not
obey
him
.
Amongs
which
he
slew
Pigmalion
,
bycause
he
had
sent
an
Ambassade
towardes
Antigone
to
take
Praxippes
King
of
Lapithe
,
Pigmalion
.
and
the
tyraunt
and
Prince
of
Cyrene
,
Praxippe
.
for
that
he
mistrusted
them
,
with
Stasice
Malie
his
sonne
.
Whiche
Citie
he
destroyed
,
and
transferred
the
inhabitaunts
thereof
into
the
citie
of
Paphe
.
These
things
performed
,
he
left
Nicocreon
his
Lieutenaunt
in
the
Isle
of
Cipres
,
Nicocreon
.
and
gaue
to
him
the
cities
and
reuenue
of
the
Kings
,
whome
he
had
deposed
,
and
after
sailed
into
the
hier
Syrie
,
and
there
tooke
the
cities
of
Neptunie
and
Carie.
From
thence
with
al
spéede
,
he
departed
into
Cilice
,
where
likewise
he
tooke
and
forraged
the
citie
of
Male
,
and
solde
the
Citizens
he
tooke
prisoners
:
he
wasted
and
spoyled
also
the
next
region
.
And
after
he
had
enriched
and
furnished
the
whole
armie
with
spoyle
,
returned
into
Cypres
,
for
he
so
loued
his
Souldiours
,
that
he
thought
all
he
could
do
for
them
was
to
little
,
to
the
ende
they
shoulde
the
willinglier
serue
him
in
all
such
high
and
great
affaires
as
he
hadde
to
do
.
Amongs
these
entrefacts
,
so
soone
as
Demetre
Antigone
his
sonne
lying
in
Celosirie
,
and
nothing
mynding
the
warres
exploited
in
Egipt
,
vnderstood
the
great
spoile
and
domage
whiche
Ptolome
had
done
in
Cilice
,
and
the
hier
Sirie
,
he
left
the
charge
of
his
armed
men
,
hys
Elephantes
and
baggage
to
Python
,
and
him selfe
with
the
horsse
and
shot
,
departed
with
all
spéede
to
the
ayde
of
his
friends
in
Cilice
.
But
when
he
came
thyther
,
he
found
the
enimie
quite
dispatched
and
gone
.
Wherefore
by
reason
of
his
great
haste
he
returned
with
the
losse
of
many
horsse
,
for
he
had
rydde
from
Maley
thether
in
two
dayes
,
whiche
was
.xxiiij.
reasonable
dayes
iourneys
for
men
of

to
trauaill
,
in
so
much
that
neyther

nor

might
follow
him
.

and
in

.
And
after

The
.xxxix.
Chapter
.
WHen
Ptolome
had
according
to
his
harts
desire
woonne
in
shorte
time
so
many
victories
,
and
performed
such
notable
exploictes
,
he
sailed
into
Egipt
.
Howbeit
,
not
long
after
at
the
instigation
of
Seleuke
,
and
the
rather
bycause
he
maliced
Antigone
,
he
determined
a
freshe
to
inuade
Celosyrie
,
and
fight
with
Demetre
.
Wherefore
he
assembled
his
armie
and
losed
from
Alexander
to
Peluse
with
.xviij.
thousand
footemen
,
and
.iiij.
thousand
horsse
,
the
one
halfe
Macedonians
,
the
other
Mercenaries
.
He
had
besides
of
the
Countrey
of
Egipt
,
a
great
numbre
of
men
,
as
victuallers
and
suche
like
,
and
some
armed
men
méete
for
the
warres
.
From
Peluse
daylie
trauelled
he
through
the
desertes
vntill
he
came
about
the
old
citie
of
Gaze
in
Syrie
,
The
Citie
of
Gaze.
&
there
encamped
néere
the
enimie
.
When
Demetre
vnderstood
of
his
comming
,
he
likewise
assembled
and
mustered
his
garrisons
and
brought
them
into
the
said
old
Gaze
,
attending
the
violence
of
the
enimie
.
And
although
his
Gouernours
and
friendes
counsailed
him
not
to
hazard
battaill
against
so
valiaunt
a
chieftayne
&
mightie
an
armie
,
yet
would
not
he
by
their
counsayls
be
stayed
,
but
made
him
readie
to
fight
,
hoping
(
notwithstanding
hys
yong
yeares
and
absence
of
his
father
)
to
winne
honour
and
victorie
.
And
after
he
hadde
assembled
hys
armie
and
by
hys
oration
verie
stoutlie
exhorted
them
to
warre
,
perseuering
and
still
abyding
in
the
assemble
pensiue
and
in
great
trouble
of
mynd
,
the
multitude
with
one
voyce
showted
and
cried
vnto
him
to
hope
well
and
feare
nothing
.
And
such
was
their
honor
&
reuerence
towardes
him
,
that
before
he
could
commaund
them
to
silence
,
they
held
their
peace
,
vppon
this
onely
occasion
,
for
that
he
neyther
in
factes
martial
or
cyuill
hadde
offended
them
,
in
so
much
as
he
was
but
newly
made
chieftayne
,
&
the
first
time
that
the
charge
of
an
armie
had
ben
committed
vnto
him
:
but
it
commonly
chaunceth
otherwise
to
them
which
long
haue
hadde
such
rule
and
leading
,
The
variable
nature
and
conditions
of
soldiours
.
bycause
they
sundrie
wayes
and
by
diuerse
meanes
gréeue
their
men
of
warre
and
Souldiours
.
And
therefore
when
they
once
gette
occasion
to
trippe
and
take
their
Captaynes
in
any
one
faulte
,
they
forthwith
séeke
reuenge
of
the
rest
of
the
iniuries
against

committed
:
for
the
multitude
loue
not
long
to
perseuer
and
continue
in

estate
,
but
always
desire
and
are
glad
of
chaunge
,
so

excéede
not

King
appertayned
,
so
that
both
the
ordinarie
and
extraordinarie
Souldiours
would
runne
to
heare
his
proposition
and
sentence
,
&
were
verie
carefull
of
hys
youth
and
victorie
:
bycause
he
mynded
so
valiantlie
to
aduenture
his
persone
against
such
a
numbre
of
enimies
,
and
especiallie
against
two
such
Chieftaynes
(
to
saye
Ptolome
and
Seleuke
)
both
in
pollicies
martial
renoumed
and
greatlie
experimented
,
and
had
had
often
conduct
&
charge
aswell
in
the
companie
of
Alexander
as
else
where
,
being
neuer
vanquished
nor
ouercome
.
When
Demetre
had
with
an
hartie
oration
exhorted
his
men
of
warre
,
promising
them
giftes
and
butinie
according
to
their
demerites
,
he
arraunged
them
in
order
of
battaill
.
And
firste
in
the
left
battaill
(
where
he
him selfe
ment
to
fight
)
he
placed
two
hundred
of
the
choysest
horsse
within
the
camp
,
which
alwayes
attended
about
him
:
amongs
whome
were
his
chief
and
principall
seruitours
and
friends
,
and
the
same
Python
also
who
had
serued
amongs
Alexander
his
men
at
armes
,
and
therefore
had
Antigone
gyuen
him
the
principall
charge
and
conduct
of
the
armie
with
Demetre
.
In
the
front
of
that
he
placed
thrée
bandes
of
horsse
like
vnto
a
bulwark
,
and
on
eche
side
as
many
:
and
without
from
the
battaill
to
the
wings
he
placed
thrée
other
bandes
of
Tarentines
,
so
that
about
and
néere
his
persone
he
had
.v.
hundred
launces
and
an
hundred
Tarentines
.
After
them
he
placed
about
eight
hundred
horsse
called
the
Companions
or
Aduenturers
.
And
next
to
them
about
a
thousande
horsse
of
diuerse
Nations
:
and
before
the
whole
front
of
that
battaill
he
placed
.xxx.
Elephantes
,
and
the
spaces
betwixt
them
he
furnished
with
.xj.
hundred
shot
:
with
this
leaft
battaill
thus
ordered
as
aforesaid
,
he
determined
to
beginne
the
fight
,
the
Phalange
or
mayne
battail
of
footemen
being
to
the
numbre
of
.xj.
thousand
or
therabouts
,
whereof
a
thousand
were
Macedonians
,
and
as
many
Lycians
&
Pamphilians
,
the
rest
all
Mercenarie
soldiers
.
In
the
right
side
adioyning
to
the
Phalange
he
placed
the
rest
of
the
horsse
to
the
numbre
of
a
thousand
and
.v.
hundred
vnder
the
leading
of
Andronike
,
whom
he
commaunded
that
when
he
shoulde
come
to
fight
,
to
slippe
by
and
not
to
come
on
that
front
,
but
to
stay
and
delaye
the
battaill
,
attending
and
diligentlie
marking
what
the
other
poincte
woulde
doe
.
He
placed
moreouer
the
.xiij.
Elephantes
which
remayned
,
before
the
Phalange
or
maine
battaill
,
and
betwene
them
an
other
companie
of
light
armed
footemen
.
In
this
order
arranged
Demetre
his
battailles
.
But
before
Ptolome
&
Seleuke
knew
Demetre
his
order
,
they
had
stronglie
appointed
and
well
furnished
their
left
corner
.
But
after
they
were
by
their
espials
aduertised
of
the
order
of
the
enimie
,
they
altered
and
chaunged
theirs
,
and
ordered
their
battails
as
followeth
.
First
they
placed
in
their
right
corner
all
their
principall
force
to
encountre
the
battaill
wherein
Demetre
was
.
On
the
other
side
in
the
left
corner
were
.iij.
thousand
horsse
,
and
the
two
Chieftayns
.
Before
them
went
a
great
numbre
of
men
which
carried
great
store
of
iron
poles
,
tied
to
iron
chaines
,
prepared
like
an
haie
against
the
violence
of
the
enimies
Elephantes
,
which
was
an
excellent
deuise
easelie
to
staie
&
repulse
the
Elephants
.
And
by
them
they
placed
a
great
numbre
of
shot
to
hurt
and
galle
the
saide
beastes
and
their
Gouernours
.
The
rest
of
their
men
they
arraunged
as
to
them
best
séemed
,
in
the
middest
of
the
right
poinct
and
at
the
wings
,
and
in
this
order
with
great
shoutes
and
cries
beganne
to
marche
one
against
an
other
.
And
firste
the
horssemen
whiche
were
in
the
vttermost
places
of
the
poinctes
beganne
to
charge
,
so
that
on
eche
side
was
a
stout
fight
.
Howbeit
from
the
beginning
the
Demetrians
dyd
valiauntest
and
had
the
better
:
but
shortlie
after
they
which
were
in
the
opposite
began
so
lustely
to
charge
and
enuironne
the
old
battaill
wherein
Demetre
was
,
that
the
fight
on
eche
side
(
by
reason
of
the
readinesse
and
valyauntnesse
of
the
Souldiours
)
waxed
hoat
and
terrible
,
in
so
muche
that
at
the
first
encountrie
they
brake
well
néere
all
their
launces
,
in
whiche
were
many
hurte
and
ouerthrowen
.
Then
drew
they
their
swordes
&
fought
so
cruellie
,
that
the
slaughter
was
farre
greater
than
before
:
bycause
the
Chieftaynes
them selues
preased
forth
so
valiauntlie
,
&
aduentured
so
many
perilous
and
daungerous
attemptes
,
that
by
meane
&
throughe
their
exhortacions
they
encouraged
the
Souldiours
violently
to
fight
.
And
all
the
horssemen
who
for
their
vertue
and
prowes
were
all
choise
men
,
manfully
&
stoutly
fought
togyther
in
the
view
and
sight
of
their
Chieftaynes
,
bycause
they
might
beare
witnesse
of
their
noble
harts
and
inuincible
courages
.
But
after
the
horssemen
hadde
fought
long
,
and
that
no
man
could
iudge
whiche
parte
had
the
better
,
the
Indians
Demetre
his
Elephanters
with
great
violence
marched
against
the
enimie
,
who
somewhat
at
the
first
feared
,
bycause
they
thought
them
nothing
able
to
resist
their
power
.
But
so
soone
as
they
came
against
the
yron
rampier
,
they
stayed
,
and
the
shot
which
flanked
the
rampier
,
shot
so
thicke
,
that
the
greater
parte
of
the
beastes
were
sore
wounded
and
their
ryders
,
who
féeling
their
greuous
woundes
,
vrged
the
beastes
with
great
strokes
,
so
that
some
of
them
fell
on
the
rampier
,
and
being
sore
hurte
with
the
pricking
of
the
poles
and
shot
,
ranne
quite
out
of
order
.
And
here
is
to
be
noted
,
that
those
kinde
of
beastes
so
long
as
the
way
is
playn
&
short
,
are
maruelous
strong
,
eyther
to
charge
or
encountre
.
But
when
they
shal
charge
in
hard
places
they
can
do
nothing
,
by
reason
of
the
softnesse
of
their
féete
.
Which
thing
they
with
Ptolome
right
well
knew
,
and
therfore
prepared
this
maner
of
stoppe
.
At
laste
,
after
the
greater
part
of
the
Indians
Elephanters
were
eyther
slaine
or
sore
hurte
,
the
Elepantes
were
by
the
enimie
all
taken
.
Which
thing
Demetre
his
horssemen
were
so
a
fraide
of
,
that
the
greater
number
of
them
●
ledde
.
And
althoughe
Demetre
by
entreatie
and
persuasions
dyd
what
in
hym
laye
to
kéepe
still
the
small
number
which
tarried
about
him
,
yet
was
there
no
remedie
but
that
they
would
néedes
flie
to
Gaze
:
and
when
he
see
he
could
not
staye
them
,
yet
enforced
not
he
hym selfe
to
flée
with
them
:
but
so
handled
the
matter
,
that
a
great
numbre
of
his
horssemen
ioyned
togyther
,
and
in
suche
order
retired
,
that
the
enimie
which
pursued
in
heapes
and
disordered
were
neuer
able
to
hurte
them
:
by
reason
the
waye
was
so
champion
and
large
,
that
they
easely
retiered
in
a
great
troupe
togythers
.
Some
footemen
likewise
disorderlie
followed
,
and
bycause
they
would
runne
the
lighter
,
they
cast
of
their
harne●
s.
In
this
sorte
they
came
néere
Gaze
,
almost
at
the
sunne
set
.
But
after
they
were
about
the
citie
,
certen
of
hys
horssemen
forsooke
him
and
entred
the
Towne
,
to
carrie
oute
their
baggage
:
by
reason
whereof
the
throng
&
prease
was
so
great
of
mares
and
other
bestiall
at
the
gates
,
for
that
euery
man
thrust
to
be
foremost
,
that
Ptolome
his
Souldiours
whiche
chased
them
thyther
,
bycause
they
could
not
shut
the
gates
,
entred
the
towne
,
and
so
seized
on
it
to
Ptolome
his
vse
.
When
Demetre
had
thus
loste
the
battaill
,
he
fledde
all
that
night
without
staye
vntil
he
came
to
the
Citie
of
Azote
,
Azote
.
distaunt
from
them
two
hundred
.lxx.
furlongs
.
The
next
daye
in
the
morning
he
sent
his
Ambassadours
towards
the
enimie
,
of
whom
he
prayed
leaue
to
burie
the
dead
,
meaning
in
that
case
to
do
them
all
the
honour
he
could
.
There
were
in
that
conflict
slaine
the
greater
parte
of
his
friendes
.
Amongs
whome
Python
was
principal
,
who
with
him
had
equall
charge
of
the
armie
,
and
Berte
whiche
was
with
hym
brought
vp
of
a
childe
,
and
knewe
all
his
mynde
and
secretes
.
In
that
battaill
also
were
slaine
of
noble
personages
aboue
.v.
hundred
,
the
more
parte
horssemen
,
and
aboue
.viij.
thousand
prisoners
taken
.
When
Ptolome
and
Seleuke
had
gyuen
leaue
to
burie
the
dead
,
they
sent
backe
to
Demetre
all
hys
mouable
goodes
and
treasure
which
they
had
taken
,
and
so
many
prisoners
as
were
his
housholde
meiny
without
ransome
,
saying
,
that
the
warres
which
they
arrered
against
Antigone
,
was
not
for
his
goods
and
treasure
,
but
bycause
when
they
were
in
consort
and
warred
togyther
,
firste
against
Perdicas
&
after
against
Eumenes
,
he
woulde
not
make
egall
distribution
with
his
friends
and
companions
of
the
realmes
and
dominions
atchieued
in
those
warres
:
and
also
for
that
against
the
tenor
of
his
alliaunce
,
contrarie
to
all
equitie
and
conscience
,
he
had
expulsed
Seleuke
Babilon
.
The
reste
of
the
prisoners
Ptolome
sent
into
Egipt
for
Gallie
slaues
.
When
Ptolome
had
magnificiallie
and
honorablie
buried
all
the
dead
on
his
parte
,
he
with
his
armie
inuaded
the
cities
of
Phenice
,
some
of
which
he
besieged
,
and
vpon
composition
reconciled
others
.
When
Demetre
sée
hys
power
and
armie
decrease
and
insufficient
,
he
sent
letters
towardes
his
father
,
praying
his
ayde
and
spéedy
helpe
.
And
in
the
meane
tyme
while
he
taried
for
aunswere
,
he
went
to
the
citie
of
Tripoly
in
Phenice
:
Tripoly
.
and
from
thence
sent
into
Cilice
for
Souldiers
,
and
to
all
the
Captaynes
farder
of
,
whiche
eyther
in
citie
or
castle
had
any
garrison
.
When
Ptolome
had
wonne
this
victorie
,
and
that
there
was
no
armie
to
resist
hym
,
he
subdued
the
citie
of
Sidonne
,
and
from
thence
departed
and
encamped
before
the
citie
of
Tyre
,
and
practized
with
Andronicke
Antigone
his
Lieutenaunt
,
to
render
it
vnto
hym
,
promising
great
giftes
and
hie
promotions
:
who
not
onely
aunswered
that
he
would
by
no
meane
falsifie
his
faith
to
Antigone
and
Demetre
,
but
also
vsed
chorlish
language
to
Ptolome
.
Notwithstanding
he
was
shortlie
after
through
the
mutenie
and
sedition
of
the
Souldiours
expulsed
,
and
the
towne
rendred
to
Ptolome
:
so
that
Andronicke
then
became
his
prisoner
,
who
both
for
his
vile
and
naughtie
language
,
also
bycause
he
would
not
yeld
the
town
,
looked
to
be
euil
entreted
.
Neuerthelesse
Ptolome
forgat
the
iniurie
,
and
gaue
him
great
giftes
,
and
retayned
him
as
one
of
his
chief
friendes
,
and
after
preferred
him
to
an
honorable
charge
.
He
was
a
Prince
ful
of
maruelous
equitie
and
iustice
,
curteous
,
pitifull
,
full
of
lenitie
,
and
therewith
liberal
,
which
greatly
profited
him
,
and
was
the
chief
cause
that
great
and
honorable
personages
desired
his
amitie
and
friendshippe
.
And
amongs
other
,
he
right
gently
reteyned
Seleuke
,
who
praying
his
ayde
for
the
recouering
of
Babylon
,
willingly
graunted
hys
request
,
and
farther
promised
to
lende
him

vntill
such
tyme
as

recouered

AS
the
matters
of
Asie
stood
in
the
estate
aforesaid
:
Thelesphore
Antigone
his
Admiral
lying
about
Corinth
,
apperceyuing
that
Ptolome
(
Antigones
Lieutenaunt
)
was
better
perferred
and
aduaunced
than
he
,
and
all
the
estate
and
affaires
of
Grece
committed
to
hys
charge
,
complained
thereof
to
Antigone
,
and
after
sold
all
his
shippes
,
and
bestowed
the
money
amongs
the
men
of
warre
which
would
follow
and
go
with
him
.
And
going
to
the
citie
of
Elyn
,
Elyn
.
was
there
receyued
as
Antigone
his
friende
.
But
when
he
had
once
furnished
the
Castle
,
he
brought
the
citie
in
seruitude
.
He
robbed
also
the
temple
in
Olympe
,
and
tooke
away
aboue
.
L.
Talents
,
wherewith
he
waged
a
great
number
of
hired
souldiers
straungers
.
In
this
sorte
Thelesphore
(
for
the
enuie
and
malice
of
Ptolome
his
preferment
and
auctoritie
)
reuolted
from
Antigone
.
Whiche
things
Ptolome
(
Antigone
his
Lieutenaunt
in
Grece
)
vnderstanding
,
with
his
armie
entred
Peloponnese
,
and
marched
to
the
Citie
of
Elyn
,
tooke
the
Castle
and
razed
it
,
restored
the
Citie
to
libertie
,
and
rendred
to
the
God
the
siluer
violentlie
taken
away
from
him
.
After
,
vpon
treatie
and
composition
he
compassed
Thelesphore
to
render
the
citie
of
Cylene
which
he
enioyed
and
kept
,
Cylene
.
and
it
restored
to
the
Citizens
of
Elyn
.
Amongs
these
exploites
,
the
Epyrotes
after
the
death
of
Eacide
(
their
King
)
bestowed
the
Realme
on
Alcete
,
whome
Aryuille
his
father
,
Ariuille
.
and
enimie
to
Cassander
,
had
bannished

Lyciske
.
Wherefore
Lyciske
(
Cassander
his
deputie
of
Acarnanie
)
marched
with
his
armie
into
Epyre
,
thinking
easely
to
depriue
and
put
downe
Alcete
from
hys
princelie
seat
and
realme
,
before

were
throughlie
confirmed

Whereupon
Lyciske

approche
(
although
the
greater
number
)
so
lustely
charged
them
,
that
they
reculed

and
finally
fled
:
but
Alcete
escaped
vnto
the
citie

Alexander

came
with
all
his
power
to
the
ayde
of
his

and
fought
with
Lyciske
.
In
which
conflict
he
had
the
better
and
slew

and
forsoke
the
Citie
of

,

shortlie
after

sackt
and

Cassander
was
aduertized
of
the
discomfiture
of
his
people
,
before
he
had
heard
of
the
victorie
before
by

atchieued
,
he
leuied
a

numbre
of

,
and
hasted
into

to
the
aide
of

But
after
he
vnderstood
that
his
Souldiours
had
had
the
better
,
he
concluded
a
peace
and
contracted
amitie
with
Alcete
.
From
thence
departed
he
with
a
great
number
of
men
into

quarters

hundred
footemen
and
aboute
two
hundred
horsse
,
(
which
Ptolome
deliuered
him
)
trauailled
into

.
For
so
great
was
his
hope
,
that
although
he
had
no
men
of
warre
,
yet
doubted
he
not
,
but
with
his
seruauntes
&
familiar
friends
only
to
go
thyther
,
bycause
he
surely
trusted
that
the
Babylonians
for
hys
gentle
entreatie
towardes
them
heretofore
shewed
,
so
hartelie
loued
him
that
they
woulde
with
right
good
will
receyue
him
:
and
especiallie
for
that
Antigon●
was
far
off
that
countrey
.
And
as
he
in
this
hope
and
confidence
went
,
his
friendes
which
sée
his
small
number
,
and
the
great
force
&
power
of
the
enimie
,
both
of
men
,
money
,
friendship
,
victuals
,
and
all
other
things
necessarie
,
were
not
a
little
astonied
.
When
Seleuke
sée
them
in
this
terrour
and
feare
,
he
with
these
persuasions
comforted
them
.
Had
it
bene
requisite
(
quod
he
)
thinke
you
,
that
they
which
serued
Alexander
the
king
in
his
warres
(
to
whome
for
their
prowes
he
had
preferred
and
giuen
charge
to
enterprise
and
take
on
hand
matters
of
great
waight
)
shoulde
haue
trusted
in
the
force
&
strength
of
men
and
money
,
more
than
in
their
owne
prudence
,
experience
and
industrie
?
No
:
for
throughe
that
chieflie
atchieued
Alexander
so
many
honorable
and
notable
victories
,
which
at
this
day
are
in
admiration
of
all
the
world
.
It
is
also
méete
and
conuenient
to
gyue
faith
and
credit
to
the
oracles
and
mouthes
of
the
goddes
,
who
haue
presaged
,
that
the
beginning
and
sequele
of
this
voyage
shall
haue
good
and
prosperous
successe
.
For
as
I
went
to
the
oracle
of
Branchide
to
knowe
my
fortune
,
the
God
saluted
and
gréeted
me
as
a
King
:
moreouer
I
hadde
a
vision
in
my
sléepe
which
seemed
that
Alexander
was
with
me
in
my
iourney
for
myne
ayde
and
succoure
,
letting
me
clerely
vnderstand
,
that
in
tyme
I
should
attayne
to
great
Empire
and
dominion
.
Agayn
,
no
great
and
waightie
matter
can
be
brought
to
passe
without
some
labour
and
trauaill
,
besides
great
hazard
and
daunger
.
And
after
all
these
persuasions
,
he
vsed
him selfe
as
a
companion
amongs
the
Souldiours
,
which
encreased
suche
loue
and
reuerence
in
their
hartes
towards
him
,
that
they
were
emboldened
to
do
him
double
seruice
.
In
this
sorte
came
he
with
his
small
companie
into
the
countrey
of
M●
sopotamie
,
and
there
what
with
faire
and
fowle
meanes
,
he
drew
to
him
many
of
the
Macedonians
enhabiting
Caris
,
and
with
them
marched
into
the
countrey
of
Babilon
.
And
after
he
was
entred
,
al
the
whole
Countrey
mette
him
and
offred
their
entier
seruice
and
obedience
:
bycause
that
during
the
space
of
.iij.
or
.iiij.
yeares
while
he
gouerned
that
Prouince
,
he
shewed
him self
a
iust
man
and
good
Officer
:
by
meane
wherof
,
he
wonderfully
got
the
loue
of
all
the
people
.
He
likewise
grew
in
the
amitie
of
diuerse
and
sundry
persons
,
which
woulde
do
hym
seruice
at
a
pinche
:
Poliarche
.
and
Poliarche
besides
Antigone
his
Lieutenaunt
of
a
certen
countrey
,
reuolted
and
ioyned
with
him
,
with
aboue
a
thousand
men
of
warre
.
When
they
in
League
with
Antigone
sée
the
vnbrideled
affection
of
the
multitude
,
they
retired
into
a
strong
castle
(
where
of
the
Captayne
was
one
Deiphile
)
whiche
Seleuke
shortly
after
besieged
and
wanne
,
Deiphile
.
and
therein
found
many
of
his
friends
and
familiars
,
whome
Antigone
after
his
departure
out
of
Babylon
had
committed
to
warde
.
That
done
,
Seleuke
gotte
togyther
so
many
men
as
he
could
,
and
bought
a
numbre
of
horses
whiche
he
bestowed
on
such
as
came
in
his
ayde
.
He
likewise
shewed
him selfe
to
al
men
so
curteous
and
gentle
,
that
they
determined
to
endure
al
aduentures
and
daungers
in
his
seruice
whatsoeuer
.
But
after
he
was
aduertised
that
Nycanor
gouernour
of
Mede
had
assembled
of
the
same
countrey
and
Perse
and
of
other
countreys
thereabouts
,
an
armie
of
.x.
thousande
footemen
,
and
.vij.
thousand
horsse
,
he
with
great
diligence
departed
with
those
Souldiours
he
had
,
to
the
numbre
of
.iij.
thousande
footemen
and
.v.
hundred
horsse
to
méete
him
.
And
when
he
had
passed
the
ryuer
Tygre
,
and
was
aduertised
that
the
enimie
was
not
aboue
two
or
thrée
dayes
iourneys
of
,
he
retired
&
hid
his
men
in
certen
mershes
thereabouts
,
amongs
the
réedes
and
bulrushes
,
to
the
intente
by
ambush
to
surprise
Nycanor
,
who
being
come
to
the
bank
of
the
said
riuer
,
and
hearing
no
newes
of
the
enimie
,
lodged
in
a
Manor
roial
hard
by
:
thinking
the
enemie
vnderstood
of
his
comming
,
&
had
gone
into
some
place
farther
of
.
And
for
that
selfe
same
cause
was
he
not
verie
carefull
to
set
his
watch
,
neyther
yet
put
him selfe
in
any
readinesse
whatsoeuer
might
chaunce
.
By
reason
whereof
Seleuke
that
night
with
great
noise
and
affraie
assaulted
his
lodging
.
Neuerthelesse
the
enimie
in
that
disorder
stoode
to
the
defence
aswell
as
they
could
:
and
as
it
happened
,
the
Persians
first
encountred
and
fought
,
wherevpon
their
Satrapa
Euager
and
diuerse
other
of
their
captaynes
were
slaine

Wherefore
the
more
parte

the
rest
of
the
Souldiours
,
what
for
feare
of
daunger
,
and
for
that
they
liked
not
Antigone
hys
dealing
,
rendred
to
Seleuke
.
Whiche
thing
Nycanor
séeing
and
fearing
to
be
by
the
Souldiours
betrayed
and
deliuered
prisoner
to
Seleuke
,
fled
through
the
desertes
with
a
few
of
his
friends
.
When
Seleuke
had
strenghtned
him selfe
with
these
men
at
armes
,
and
vsing
his
acustomed
curtesie
and
humanitie
towardes
all
men
,
he
easely
wanne

Of
whiche
doings
Ptolome

were
aduertised

such
encrease
of

Chapter

DUring
the
time
that
Seleuke
was
occupied
as
is
aforesayde
,
Ptolome
who
had
in
battaile
vanquished
Demetre
in
Celosirie
(
as
aboue
)
and
there
still
remained
,
vnderstanding
that
Demetre
was
againe
come
into
the
hier
Syrie
,
and
there
encamped
,
sent
one
of
his
captaynes
named
Cylles
a
Macedonian
,
Cylles
.
with
suche
numbre
of
men
as
he
thought
good
,
eyther
to
expulse
him
the
countrey
of
Syrie
,
or
else
to
kéepe
hym
so
occupied
,
that
he
should
do
no
kind
of
exploite
.
But
as
he
was
vppon
the
waye
,
Demetre
being
by
his
scoulte
aduertised
of
hys
comming
,
and
their
disorder
:
bycause
he
neyther
feared
or
estéemed
the
enimie
,
in
the
night
departed
from
hys
camp
(
lying
nere
Myunte
)
with
hys
horsse
and
light
armed
footemen
,
Myunte
.
leauing
in
his
camp
the
rest
with
the
baggage
:
and
so
hasted
,
that
about
the
daye
breake
he
assayled
Cilles
camp
,
which
he
found
so
disordered
,
that
they
without
resistaunce
yelded
,
togyther
Cylles
himselfe
.
Whervpon
when
Demetre
had
thus
sodenlie
done
so
great
an
exploite
,
he
thought
he
had
well
reuenged
the
shame
and
domage
by
him
(
at
the
battail
before
lost
)
receiued
.
Notwithstanding
,
doubting
that
if
Ptolome
hearde
of
those
newes
,
he
would
with
his
power
come
agaynst
him
,
he
pitched
his
campe
in
a
verie
strong
place
,
hauing
at
hys
backe
a
great
Marris
,
and
then
so
much
as
in
him
laye
,
sent
to
aduertise
his
father
of
that
he
had
done
,
praying
him
with
all
diligence
to
sende
a
strong
supplie
,
or
else
with
all
his
power
to
come
him selfe
and
enter
Syrie
,
to
recouer
it
.
Of
these
newes
Antigone
(
then
lying
in
Cylene
in
the
countrey
of
Phrigie
)
was
right
glad
that
his
sonne
,
Cylene
.
a
yong
man
,
had
wonne
so
great
and
honorable
a
victorie
,
whereby
he
deserued
to
be
a
King
.
And
incontinent
he
with
hys
whole
armie
departed
Phrigie
:
and
after
he
had
passed
the
mount
Thaure
,
he
made
such
spéed
,
that
within
few
days
he
was
come
to
his
sonne
.
When
Ptolome
vnderstood
of
his
comming
,
he
aduised
with
hys
counsaile
what
should
be
best
to
doe
,
whether
to
attend
the
enimie
in
Syrie
and
there
to
fight
,
or
to
returne
into
Egipt
,
and
from
thence
make
warre
as
he
hadde
before
done
against
Perdicas
.
Whereuppon
they
all
agréed
that
he
should
not
hazard
his
case
against
the
force
of
the
enimie
ioyned
togyther
:
and
chieflie
,
bycause
they
hadde
a
great
numbre
of
Elephants
,
and
Antigone
hym selfe
also
in
persone
,
who
neuer
yet
was
vanquished
.
Wherefore
it
séemed
to
them
that
the
beste
&
surest
way
was
,
that
Ptolome
should
returne
into
Egipt
,
where
were
victuals
great
store
:
and
might
there
kéepe
hym selfe
in
strong
and
aduauntageous
places
.
In
following
which
counsaill
he
delibered
to
go
into
Egipt
:
but
before
hys
departure
he
beat
downe
and
razed
certayne

and
beutiful
cities

That
done
he
with
his
armie
and
al
the
mouable
goods
which
might
be
carried
,
went
into
Egipt
.
By
this
meane
Antigone
without
difficultie
or
resistaunce
recouered
all
the
countreys
of
Sirie
&
Phenice
.

The
.xliij.
Chapter
.
AFter
Antigone
had
thus
recouered
and
wonne
the
countreys
of
Syrie
and
Phenice
:
he
indicted
warres
to
the
Arabians
called
Nabathians
,
whom
he
thought
his
enimies
.
Wherfore
he
chose
out
one
of
his
Captains
named
Atheney
,
and
deliuered
to
him
.iij.
thousande
shot
,
and
.vj.
hundred
of
his
lightest
horsse
,
commaunding
them
to
enter
the
said
countrie
,
and
to
make
so
many
incursions
as
they
might
.
But
bycause
the
maner
of
life
and
order
of
the
said
Arabians
is
farre
different
and
disagréeing
from
all
other
,
I
thinke
it
meete
and
expedient
here
to
make
some
mention
and
declaration
thereof
.
First
they
dwel
wildlie
abroad
without
eyther
townes
or
houses
:
wherefore
they
saie
their
lande
is
vnhabitable
,
bicause
there
are
neither
ryuers
or
fountayns
wherwith
to
maintayne
an
armie
.
The
Arabians
maner
of
life
in
the
deserts
.
They
haue
also
a
lawe
which
prohibiteth
them
on
paine
of
death
not
to
sowe
any
corne
,
neyther
to
set
or
graf
trées
bearing
fruit
,
nor
to
drinke
wyne
or
build
houses
.
This
they
hold
&
mayntayn
,
bycause
they
thinke
that
those
which
haue
houses
,
and
maneured
lands
and
fruitfull
,
are
always
subiect
to
conquerours
.
But
there
are
amongs
them
many
whereof
some
haue
great
flockes
of
shéepe
&
other
great
heards
of
Camels
going
abroad
in
the
desertes
,
neuer
tarrying
long
in
one
place
.
And
althoughe
there
are
diuerse
kindes
of
Arabians
whiche
inhabit
the
desertes
,
yet
are
the
Nabathians
the
richest
and
wealthiest
,
and
are
about
the
numbre
of
.x.
thousand
:
whereof
some
are
accustomed
to
trade
by
Sea
with
incense
,
myrrhe
and
other
drugs
aromatique
,
growing
in
the
fertile
Countrey
of
Arabie
.
They
are
also
meruelouslie
determined
to
kéepe
and
mainteyne
their
libertie
.
And
when
any
enimie
inuadeth
,
they
draw
to
the
desert
and
places
solitarie
which
serue
in
stead
of
castles
and
forts
,
where
no
straunger
can
liue
.
Notwithstanding
they
haue
certen
receptacles
within
the
Caues
whiche
they
digge
in
the
same
earth
being
of
plaister
and
softe
stones
,
whereby
they
may
the
better
digge
the
Caues
,
the
entry
of
which
are
little
,
but
within
large
and
déepe
,
so
that
they
are
more
than
an
Arpent
square
:
and
in
those
they
set
earthen
vessels
filled
with
great
store
of
rayne
water
,
and
then
they
in
suche
sorte
couer
the
entry
of
the
Caue
aboue
,
that
they
which
passe
by
can
not
perceyue
it
,
but
them selues
knowe
it
again
by
a
signe
which
they
leaue
behinde
,
and
euery
third
daye
they
water
their
cattell
with
that
water
,
to
the
ende
,
if
they
were
put
to
flight
,
they
should
not
want
drinke
:
and
their
chief
foode
is
flesh
,
mylke
,
and
other
things
which
the
lande
bringeth
forth
,
verie
good
and
holsome
to
eate
.
In
this
lande
also
groweth
Peper
and
wild
honie
,
which
they
drinke
with
water
.
There
are
besides
beyond
these
,
other
Arabians
,
dwelling
in
the
maneured
land
,
and
are
tributaries
as
the
Syrians
,
and
liue
in
such
order
as
they
doe
,
saue
that
they
dwell
in
no
houses
.
And
this
is
the
maner
and
life
of
the
Arabians
.
Nowe
is
there
a
place
in
the
same
Countrey
verie
strong
,
without
walles
or
anie
suche
like
defence
(
distaunt
from
the
land
habitable
two
dayes
iourney
)
where
at
one
time
of
the
yeare
whiche
was
euen
verie
then
,
they
repaire
and
come
from
all
quarters
of
the
countrey
to
buy
and
sell.
And
as
the
merchaunts
were
there
assembled
and
had
left
at
home
their
goodes
,
wyues
,
children
,
and
olde
men
and
women
in
a
certen
strong
rocke
,
Atheney
(
who
had
wel
espied
out
his
time
)
with
his
deliuerest
and
lightest
Souldiours
,
departed
the
countrey
of
Ydumey
,
and
in
two
dayes
&
thrée
nights
had
trauailled
thrée
thousande
&
two
hundred
furlongs
,
and
were
gotten
to
the
saide
rocke
and
assaulted
them
within
,
whereof
some
they
slew
,
●
ooke
some
prisoners
,
and
left
the
rest
hurte
:
from
whence
they
carried
great
store
of
incense
and
myrrhe
,
besides
.v.
hundred
talents
of
siluer
.
Which
done
,
Atheney
fearing
that
the
Arabians
which
were
assembled
at
the
place
abouesaid
,
when
they
heard
thereof
,
woulde
pursue
them
,
he
after
.iij.
or
iiij
.
dayes
with
spéed
returned
&
without
stay
iourneyed
aboue
two
hundred
furlongs
.
Wherefore
being
through
their
great
speede
sore
trauailled
,
and
thinking
that
the
Arabians
could
not
in
two
or
thrée
dayes
ouerget
them
,
without
making
any
great
watche
,
pitched
their
camp
.
But
the
Arabians
in
that
assemble
aduertised
by
suche
as
see
it
,
of
the
domage
the
Grekes
had
done
them
,
broke
vp
their
assemble
,
and
with
all
diligence
came
to
the
place
where
the
discomfiture
was
,
and
there
being
better
informed
of
the
trueth
of
their
losse
,
and
tolde
of
the
waye
which
the
Grekes
went
,
in
such
haste
pursued
them
,
that
they
hadde
the
same
night
ouertaken
them
,
and
encamped
hard
by
.
And
hauing
intelligence
of
some
of
their
people
which
were
escaped
,
by
meane
of
the
negligence
of
the
watche
,
all
weried
and
a
sléepe
,
aboute
thrée
houres
before
daye
assailed
them
,
and
slewe
all
the
footemen
a
sléepe
in
their
beddes
,
to
the
number
of
.viij.
thousand
,
and
there
escaped
not
aboue
.
L.
of
their
horsse
,
the
greater
parte
of
which
were
also
sore
hurt
.
In
this
sorte
the
Souldiours
vnder
the
charge
of
Atheney
,
after
good
exploite
of
their
matters
in
the
beginning
,
were
in
the
end
through
follie
and
negligence
ouerthrowen
.
As
commonlie
happeneth
,
that
with
felicitie
and
good
Fortune
followeth
negligence
and
contempt
of
the
enimie
,
by
reason
whereof
many
sage
and
wise
men
haue
said
(
and
not
without
good
ground
)
that
it
is
more
easie
paciently
to
sustaine
and
abide
infelicitie
and
aduersitie
,
than
in
prosperitie
,
sagely
and
wisely
to
gouerne
.
For
the
infelicitie
and
miserie
once
passed
,
causeth
them
which
haue
tasted
thereof
(
for
feare
to
runne
hedlong
into
the
same
agayne
)
to
be
in
their
affaires
verie
circumspect
and
diligent
:
where
contrariwise
prosperitie
and
felicitie
maketh
men
negligent
and
●●
relesse
,
and
in
all
things
causeth
great
contempt
and
rechelousnesse
.
When
the
Nabathians
had
reuenged
the
outrage
and
domage
done
to
them
in
such
sorte
as
aforesaid
,
they
writte
their
letters
in
Greke
to
Antigone
,
wherein
they
complayned
them
of
Atheney
his
assailing
,
and
excused
the
déede
by
them
committed
.
To
whose
letters
Antigone
aunswered
,
that
whatsoeuer
Atheney
had
done
against
them
,
was
without
his
consent
and
knowlege
,
&
that
he
was
well
pleased
with
the
reuenge
thereof
.
All
this
saide
he
to
assure
and
deceyue
them
:
to
the
ende
they
shoulde
haue
no
regard
or
care
of
him
,
whereby
he
might
sodenly
surprise
them
.
For
it
was
a
hard
matter
without
some
cautel
and
wyle
to
surprise
such
a
people
always
liuing
like
shéepheardes
,
and
hauing
for
their
retraict
places
inaccessible
and
impregnable
.
And
although
the
said
Arabians
were
right
ioyous
to
be
by
that
meane
deliuered
of
so
great
terrour
and
feare
where
they
were
,
yet
gaue
they
no
such
credit
to
the
letters
of
Antigone
,
but
that
they
placed
their
espialles
and
watches
vppon
the
mountaines
and
places
eminent
,
where
they
might
sée
al
the
entries
of
that
countrey
:
and
beside
disposed
and
ordered
their
businesse
,
to
their
best
aduauntage
according
to
the
necessitie
of
the
same
,
attending
that
whiche
might
happen
.
When
Antigone
thought
he
had
by
his
letters
sufficiently
abused
,
deceyued
and
assured
them
,
he
chose
out
.iiij.
thousand
of
his
lightest
men
,
and
as
many
horse
,
and
commaunded
them
to
make
prouision
of
victualles
to
carry
for
certen
dayes
,
and
be
obedient
to
followe
his
sonne
Demetre
to
whatsoeuer
he
commaunded
.
Willing
him
by
al
meanes
possible
he
could
,
to
chase
and
expulse
the
said
Arabians
.
Which
commaundement
he
obeyd
&
followed
,
and
so
tooke
his
iourney
&
trauailled
throughe
the
desertes
the
space
of
thrée
dayes
(
thinking
the
Arabians
had
thereof
knowen
nothing
)
but
they
forthwith
by
their
espials
and
watches
were
aduertised
by
signes
and
tokens
whiche
they
made
on
the
hie
mountaines
with
fiers
and
other
ways
as
they
had
amongs
them
deuised
.
Wherefore
they
carried
into
their
strong
rocks
,
al
their
baggage
,
wyues
,
children
and
olde
people
,
and
left
with
them
a
number
of
their
lustie
yong
fellowes
to
defende
the
same
,
very
easie
to
garde
and
kepe
,
bicause
it
was
of
a
mightie
heigth
,
and
but
one
entrie
and
way
to
come
in
at
.
The
rest
deuided
them
into
bandes
,
&
draue
their
bestiall
thorow
diuers
places
amidst
the
wildernesse
.
When
Demetre
was
come
to
the
rocke
,
and
all
their
cattaile
driuen
away
,
he
gaue
many
assautes
to
take
it
,
but
the
Arabians
right
valiantly
defended
it
,
&
by
reason
of
the
aduauntage
of
the
place
,
easily
repulsed
the
Greekes
,
so
that
the
assaut
through
many
attemptes
continued
all
day
.
But
about
the
sunne
going
downe
,
Demetre
caused
to
sound
the
retraict
.
The
nexte
day
in
the
morning
,
as
they
thought
to
giue
a
fresh
assault
,
one
of
Arabians
standing
in
the
toppe
of
the
rocke
,
cried
oute
with
a
loude
voice
,
addressing
to
Demetre
these
words
ensuing
:
Sir
King
Demetre
,
what
wickednesse
hath
moued
thée
to
warre
vpon
vs
pore
wretched
men
that
inhabite
the
desertes
,
where
is
neyther
corne
,
water
,
wine
,
nor
any
other
thing
necessary
and
méete
for
thy
vse
.
For
we
to
defend
our
liberty
haue
chosen
this
place
improuided
of
all
things
méete
and
necessarie
for
the
life
and
maintenance
of
any
other
nation
,
but
liue
here
like
sauage
and
wilde
beastes
,
doing
neither
hurt
or
displeasure
to
any
.
Wherfore
we
pray
&
earnestly
desire
thée
and
thy
father
to
take
such
giftes
as
we
are
able
to
yéeld
you
,
and
withdraw
and
call
backe
your
army
,
and
hereafter
to
holde
and
retaine
the
Nabathians
for
your
friendes
.
For
if
thou
tarrie
and
continue
here
any
whyle
,
thou
shalt
want
water
,
and
other
things
necessarie
for
the
nourishing
and
relieuing
of
thy
people
.
And
admit
thou
conquer
vs
,
thou
canst
neuer
force
vs
to
alter
and
change
our
maner
of
life
,
so
that
those
which
thou
shalt
kepe
prisoners
,
can
not
nor
wil
not
endure
or
abyde
in
seruitude
and
bondage
.
Through
these
words
Demetre
his
heart
waxed
so
colde
,
that
he
drewe
backe
his
men
,
and
caused
it
to
be
declared
to
the
Arabians
,
that
they
should
send
to
him
their
Ambassadours
to
treat
a
league
and
amitie
:
whereuppon
they
sent
the
most
auncient
amongs
them
,
who
in
like
maner
persuaded
as
the
first
man
dyd
.
Whereby
was
accorded
,
that
they
should
giue
him
a
certen
numbre
of
ostages
with
many
other
riche
and
precious
giftes
,
and
that
then
he
would
returne
with
his
armie
.
Whiche
conclusion
performed
,
he
forthwith
departed
.
And
after
he
had
trauelled
about
thrée
hundred
furlongs
,
he
arriued
at
the
Lake
called
Asphalte
.
The
Lake
Asphalte
.
The
nature
of
which
bycause
it
is
meruelous
and
singular
,
I
thinke
it
méete
to
entrelace
in
this
present
historie
.
¶
Of
the
Lake
Asphalte
,
and
the
meruelous
nature
thereof
:
also
the
discomfiture
of
Antigone
his
people
there
,
by
the
Arabians
.
The
.xliiij.
Chapter
.
THis
Lake
surnamed
Asphalte
,
is
as
it
were
in
the
middest
of
the
Satrapie
of
Arabie
,
about
.v.
hundred
furlongs
long
and
.lx.
broode
:
the
water
thereof
is
meruelous
foule
and
stinking
,
so
that
no
fish
can
lyue
therein
,
nor
any
other
thing
accustomed
to
lyue
in
the
water
.
And
albeit
there
entreth
and
runneth
into
it
many
great
ryuers
of
fresh
and
swéete
waters
,
neuerthelesse
they
are
through
the
great
and
maruelous
stenche
of
the
water
of
the
Lake
incontinent
infected
,
which
of
it selfe
yéerely
casteth
a
great
quantitie
of
plastry
all
hoale
as
bigge
and
great
oftentimes
as
thrée
Arpentes
:
and
many
times
not
passing
as
great
as
one
Arpent
.
And
when
there
is
great
store
and
abundaunce
,
the
inhabitaunts
cal
it
the
Bull
,
and
when
lesse
,
the
Bulchin
.
This
amasse
and
heap
of
plaistry
in
such
sorte
riseth
and
swimmeth
aboue
the
water
,
that
they
which
sée
it
farre
of
,
thinke
it
to
be
some
Island
.
And
when
it
beginneth
to
arise
as
we
haue
before
saide
,
they
may
perceyue
it
xx
.
daies
before
:
bycause
there
issueth
oute
of
the
Lake
such
a
vapoure
smelling
like
plaistre
,
many
furlonges
round
about
:
and
of
such
efficacie
and
strength
,
that
all
the
golde
,
siluer
,
and
all
other
metall
within
the
limites
and
compasse
thereof
,
lose
their
colour
.
But
after
the
plaistre
is
once
risen
aboue
the
water
,
it
getteth
it
agayne
.
Whiche
vapoure
scaldeth
all
the
Regions
thereabouts
,
and
drieth
them
as
if
they
were
half
burnt
,
and
maketh
the
people
verie
pale
and
wanne
&
also
sicklie
,
so
that
they
are
not
long
lyued
.
Notwithstanding
the
land
round
about
is
fruitfull
for
Date
trées
,
whereas
is
any
ryuer
or
fountayne
to
moyst
them
.
And
in
a
place
lying
in
a
valley
néere
thereto
,
groweth
the
swéete
and
odoriferous
Baulme
whiche
is
of
great
price
:
bycause
there
is
none
in
the
whole
worlde
but
there
,
The
sweete
Baulme
.
whiche
the
Phisicions
vse
in
their
receytes
as
an
excellent
and
singular
thing
.
And
as
touching
the
plaistre
rising
oute
of
the
Lake
,
the
people
of
the
Countrey
runne
thyther
to
spoile
and
gather
it
as
it
were
the
butine
of
the
enimie
.
The
boats
which
they
row
in
are
made
of
great
réedes
,
and
in
euery
boat
but
thrée
men
,
whereof
two
rowe
,
the
third
hath
bowe
and
arrowes
to
defende
them
against
those
which
would
let
them
from
gathering
.
And
when
they
are
come
to
that
amasse
or
heape
,
with
their
axes
and
hatchets
they
cut
thereof
as
a
man
shoulde
do
on
a
Tuph
or
softe
stone
,
and
therewith
fraught
their
boats
,
and
then
returne
.
And
if
it
happen
at
any
tyme
that
the
boats
breake
that
they
fall
into
the
water
,
yet
thoughe
they
cannot
swymme
,
they
sinke
not
to
the
grounde
as
in
other
waters
,
but
remayne
aboue
as
if
they
swam
.
For
the
nature
of
the
water
is
to
beare
and
hold
vp
the
bodyes
of
any
thing
whiche
hath
humiditie
and
breath
.
And
such
things
as
are
whole
and
massife
,
as
golde
,
siluer
,
lead
and
such
other
mettals
sinke
not
so
soone
to
the
ground
as
they
do
in
other
waters
.
With
the
same
plaistre
the
Paisaunts
gather
&
get
great
store
of
siluer
,
for
they
carry
it
into
Egipt
,
where
they
sell
it
very
déere
,
bycause
it
is
verie
excellent
and
soueraine
to
preserue
dead
bodies
from
steach
and
putriture
:
and
if
the
other
dredges
be
not
mingled
with
that
,
they
can
not
long
preserue
and
keepe
them
.
When
Demetre
was
returned
to
his
Father
in
Sirie
,
he
recompted
all
he
had
done
against
the
Arabians
,
and
also
the
nature
of
the
Lake
whereof
we
haue
spoken
.
Howbeit
his
father
was
no
deale
contented
with
the
league
and
amitie
made
with
the
Arabians
:
saying
they
would
hereafter
become
more
cruell
and
fierce
,
seing
they
hadde
not
now
bene
chastised
and
brought
vnder
:

determined
to
arrere
open
hostilitie

against

Whereuppon
he
sent
one

For

not
styck

When

taken
with

they

who
from

vsed
many

But
when
he
see
there
was
no
accompt
made
of
his
talke

he
at

slew
him selfe

And
after

after
exhorted
Nycocles
brothers
wyues
willinglie
to
die
with
hir
,
whiche
they
did
,
albeit
Ptolome
had
commaunded
that
no

be
done
to

let
them
alone

moued
and
offended
,
assembled
a
great
number
of
men
,
of
the
countreys
thereto
adioyning
,
to
warre
vppon
hys
brother
.
And
he
vnderstanding
his
fetch
and
enterprise
,
with
a
mightie
power
came
against
hym
.
And
when
he
had
passed
the
Ryuer
Thatis
,
The
Riuer
of
Thatis
.
whiche
ranne
betwene
the
two
armies
,
he
enpaled
his
Campe
with
hys
carriages
,
whereof
he
badde
store
,
and
arranged
his
Souldiours
in
order
of
battaill
,
and
placed
him selfe
in
the
middest
of
the
Phalange
according
to
the
custome
of
the
Scythes
.
He
had
in
his
companie
and
armie
aboute
two
thousand
Mercenarie
Grekes
,
and
so
many
Thracians
.xx.
thousand
Scythian
footemen
,
and
aboue
.x.
thousand
horsse
.
And
on
Eumele
his
side
came
Arypharne
King
of
Thrace
with
xx
.
thousand
horsse
,
and
.xxij.
thousand
footemen
.
And
at
last
they
courageouslie
ioyned
battaill
.
Satire
then
hauing
about
him
his
choise
and
picked
horssemen
,
so
lustely
charged
Arypharne
in
the
middest
of
hys
battaill
,
that
there
was
a
sharpe
and
cruell
conflicte
betwixt
the
horssemen
,
and
many
on
bothe
sides
slaine
:
but
in
the
ende
Aripharne
was
put
to
flight
,
whome
Satire
a
while
chased
,
and
ouerthrew
and
killed
a
great
number
of
hys
people
.
But
when
he
vnderstood
that
his
brother
Eumele
which
lead
the
other
wing
ouer
against
the
Mercenarie
Grekes
,
hadde
the
better
of
them
,
he
desisted
chasing
of
Aripharne
and
came
to
the
rescous
of
his
owne
men
.
At
whose
comming
the
enemie
was
repulsed
,
and
in
the
end
put
to
flight
.
And
in
this
maner
Satyre
him selfe
was
cause
of
victorie
in
both
the
wings
.
By
which
well
appeared
that
the
realme
,
aswell
for
his
Seignoritie
as
also
for
his
vertue
and
prowes
,
to
him
only
apperteyned
.
The
victorie
thus
wonne
,
Aripharne
and
Eumele
retired
into
a
Castle
standing
on
a
verie
stéepe
rocke
,
scituate
in
the
middest
of
the
Riuer
of
Thatis
.
By
reason
whereof
,
and
also
bycause
the
walles
were
strong
and
hie
,
well
manned
and
also
furnished
with
all
kyndes
of
shot
and
weapon
,
it
was
not
easie
to
be
taken
,
but
verie
difficile
and
harde
to
besiege
,
hauing
but
two
wayes
to
enter
,
both
of
them
artificially
made
and
wrought
:
the
one
went
directlie
to
the
castle
,
enuironed
and
defended
with
flankers
and
bulwarks
:
the
other
to
certen
marshes
lying
round
about
the
castle
,
fortified
with
rampiers
of
wood
,
in
the
middest
of
whiche
marshes
were
faire
houses
buylt
vppon
great
pillers
standing
vppon
the
ryuer
.
When
Satyre
had
considered
the
strong
situation
and
great
daunger
in
the
siege
thereof
,
he
first
made
incursions
and
robberies
vppon
all
the
countrey
round
about
,
and
tooke
a
great
numbre
of
the
paysauntes
prisoners
,
with
great
plenty
of
cattell
,
and
burnt
and
fouraged
all
the
villages
.
And
after
he
had
thus
done
,
he
determined
forcibly
to
assaile
the
place
whiche
lead
to
the
Castle
,
but
he
was
repulsed
with
losse
of
many
men
.
Notwithstanding
he
desisted
not
,
but
so
lustely
and
courageously
assaulted
the
other
waye
,
that
he
wanne
the
rampers
and
houses
standing
on
the
marshes
,
and
spoyled
them
,
and
after
passed
the
ryuer
,
where
he
began
to
cut
and
hew
down
the
piles
and
houses
of
wood
through
which
he
must
néedes
passe
if
he
determined
to
come
to
the
Palaice
.
Which
thing
when
Arypharne
sée
,
and
fearing
the
taking
of
the
Palaice
,
his
whole
trust
and
chief
refuge
,
defended
the
same
by
all
the
possible
meanes
he
could
.
Now
had
he
a
great
numbre
of
shot
,
which
he
deuided
on
both
sides
the
waye
,
who
hurt
a
great
numbre
of
the
wood
fellers
,
bycause
they
coulde
not
auoyde
the
shot
,
nor
yet
endomage
them
which
did
the
hurte
.
Neuerthelesse
they
couragiouslie
endured
the
daunger
,
and
for
thrée
dayes
togyther
neuer
ceased
cutting
downe
of
wood
,
so
that
they
hadde
made
a
playne
beaten
waye
through
the
marshes
,
and
the
fourth
daye
were
gotten
hard
to
the
curten
.
For
Menisce
Captayne
of
the
Mercenaries
,
Menisce
.
a
valiaunt
and
wise
man
,
came
brauely
and
courageouslie
with
his
Souldiours
throughe
the
same
waye
to
gyue
the
assault
.
But
after
he
had
long
susteyned
the
violence
of
the
shot
within
,
and
the
greater
number
of
his
men
hurt
,
he
then
of
force
retired
.
And
in
the
retire
they
of
the
Castle
in
such
number
sallied
out
vppon
him
,
that
what
through
the
narrownes
of
the
way
,
and
disaduauntage
of
the
place
,
he
surely
had
ben
slayn
,
had
it
not
ben
that
Satyre
séeing
them
so
distrest
,
incontinent
came
to
their
rescous
.
Who
nobly
fighting
and
abyding
the
force
of
the
enimie
,
was
with
the
blowe
of
a
launce
in
one
of
his
armes
so
sore
hurte
,
that
he
was
faine
to
be
taken
and
carried
backe
into
his
campe
,
and
the
night
ensuing
died
on
the
same
stroke
,
when
he
had
raigned
but
.ix.
monethes
,
after
the
death
of
his
Father
.
When
Menisce
sée
that
,
he
raysed
the
siege
and
retired
the
armie
to
the
citie
of
Galgaze
,
Galgaze
.
and
from
thence
sent
his
brothers
bodie
downe
elongest
the
Ryuer
vnto
hys
brother
Prytame
,
in
the
citie
of
Panticape
:
who
caused
it
very
sumptuously
&
honorably
to
be
enterred
,
amongs
the
sepulchres
and
tombes
of
the
Kings
.
And
that
done
,
he
incontinent
went
into
the
citie
of
Galgaze
,
and
there
seized
on
the
armie
and
Realme
.
To
whom
Eumele
hys
brother
sent
Messangers
to
demaund
particion
of
the
said
Realme
,
who
harkened
not
to
any
suche
demaund
:
but
after
he
had
placed
his
garrisons
in
Galgaze
,
forthwith
returned
to
Panticape
,
Panticape
.
to
establish
and
set
an
order
about
the
affaires
and
estate
of
the
realme
.
The
same
time
Eumele
with
the
ayde
of
a
numbre
Barbarians
,
tooke
the
citie
of
Galgaze
,
and
many
other
Townes
and
Uillages
thereabout
.
Whereof
Pritame
aduertised
,
leuied
a
great
armie
and
came
against
him
,
where
he
in
battaill
was
vanquished
,
and
enforced
to
flie
into
a
place
in
the
straight
néere
the
marshe
Meothide
:
and
being
there
by
Eumele
enclosed
,
was
driuen
of
necessitie
to
come
to
a
composition
,
wherein
he
gaue
ouer
&
restored
to
him
his
armie
,
and
also
forsooke
his
right
and
title
of
the
realme
.
But
after
he
was
returned
to
Panticape
the
Palaice
Royall
of
the
King
of
Bosphore
,
he
againe
forcibly
tooke
vppon
him
the
gouernement
and
estate
of
the
Realme
,
but
he
was
a
fresh
by
Eumele
ouerthrowen
,
and
fleing
through
certen
orchyardes
,
there
slaine
.
After
whose
death
,
Eumele
meaning
to
assure
himselfe
of
the
realme
,
caused
all
the
friends
,
wyues
and
children
of
Pritame
&
Satyre
his
brethren
,
to
be
put
to
death
,
except
and
reserued
Parisade
,
Satyre
his
sonne
,
a
verie
yong
stryppling
,
who
on
horse
backe
got
out
of
the
towne
and
fled
to
Agare
King
of
the
Scythes
.
Agare
.
But
when
Eumele
sée
the
Citizens
for
the
slaughter
of
their
friendes
and
familiars
waxe
mutinous
,
he
assembled
them
and
declared
the
causes
which
moued
him
to
do
the
same
,
saying
farther
,
that
he
would
restore
them
into
their
auncient
estate
,
immunitie
and
franchize
,
sometime
had
vnder
his
predecessours
,
and
that
they
should
be
exempte
of
all
trybutes
and
impostes
:
by
which
meane
he
appaised
them
,
and
wanne
againe
their
good
willes
and
fauoures
,
and
after
,
sagely
and
courteouslie
gouerned
&
behaued
hym selfe
in
his
raigne
,
to
the
great
admiration
of
all
his
neighbours
.
For
through
his
munificencie
and
curtesie
,
he
made
all
his
friendes
to
loue
him
:
as
the
Byzancians
,
Synopians
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Grekes
inhabiting
the
countrey
of
Pont.
And
when
Lysimache
besieged
the
Calantians
,
who
for
want
of
victuals
,
were
brought
into
great
daunger
and
necessitie
,
he
receyued
a
thousand
of
them
which
came
out
by
reason
of
the
famine
:
and
not
onely
licenced
and
assured
them
to
remayne
in
his
Countrey
,
but
also
gaue
them
one
of
his
owne
cities
,
named
Yse
,
&
amongs
them
deuided
the
territorie
thereof
.
Yse
.
He
moreouer
warred
vppon
the
Heniques
,
Thaures
,
and
Achees
,
Barbarians
,
and
Sea
rouers
,
to
make
the
Sea
Pontique
nauigable
to
them
of
the
countrey
.
By
which
his
doings
he
both
got
great
prayse
and
renowne
of
the
countrey
men
there
,
and
also
of
the
whole
world
:
bycause
of
the
reporte
the
people
of
that
countrey
made
to
all
whiche
sailed
and
came
thyther
,
so
that
he
hadde
wonne
a
great
parte
of
the
region
of
Barbary
ioyning
vpon
his
realme
,
and
became
so
puissaunt
and
renoumed
,
that
he
enterprised
to
subdue
and
conquer
the
whole
countrey
of
Pont
,
which
he
had
without
pe●
aduenture
compassed
,
if
death
by
a
meruelous
mishappe
had
not
shortened
hys
dayes
,
after
he
had
raigned
.v.
yeares
and
.v.
monethes
.
For
as
he
was
ryding
in
a
coche
running
on
foure
wheles
,
by
foure
horsses
drawen
towards
a
sacrifice
or
pilgrimage
,
the
horsses
sturtling
at
some
thing
they
sée
,
ranne
quite
out
of
the
waye
,
coursing
ouerthwart
all
the
fieldes
.
But
when
the
King
sée
that
the
waggoner
coulde
not
stay
them
,
fearing
the
ouerthrowe
of
that
coche
or
charriot
,
made
haste
to
get
oute
,
&
thinking
to
leape
to
the
ground
,
his
sworde
caught
betwene
the
spokes
of
one
of
the
wheles
,
wherewith
he
was
immediatlie
drawen
vnder
the
wheles
,
and
there
frushed
and
brused
to
death
.
And
it
is
said
,
that
the
death
of
him
and
his
brother
,
were
by
certen
playne
and
simple
Oracles
pronosticated
of
,
which
in
deed
the
men
of
the
countrey
greatly
credited
.
For
one
daye
Satire
demaunding
what
death
he
shoulde
die
,
The
superstition
of
the
Paynims
.
aunswer
was
by
the
Oracle
made
,
that
he
shoulde
take
heede
and
beware
he
were
not
by
a
mouse
sodenly
slayne
.
By
reason
whereof
he
would
neyther
suffer
free
or
bond
bearing
that
name
,
to
tarry
within
his
countrey
:
and
so
feared
the
myse
in
field
and
towne
,
that
he
commaunded
all
should
be
slayne
:
and
farther
made
all
the
holes
in
the
ground
to
be
stopped
vp
,
whiche
they
might
come
oute
at
.
Howbeit
,
that
serued
to
no
purpose
,
nor
was
the
cause
of
his
ende
,
but
died
of
a
wounde
on
the
muscle
of
the
arme
by
vs
called
the
brawne
.
It
is
to
be
vnderstood
,
that
a
mouse
in
Latin
is
called
Mus
,
and
a
little
Mouse
,
Musculus
:
and
thereby
was
signified
,
that
he
should
take
héede
,
he
died
not
by
a
mouse
,
and
after
his
death
,
some
enterpreted
that
it
was
of
the
muscle
,
which
in
Latin
may
be
said
a
little
mouse
,
&
also
the
brawne
.
And
it
was
of
Eumele
presaged
,
to
beware
of
the
fall
of
a
house
,
and
therefore
he
neuer
entred
any
house
,
but
that
he
would
first
circumspectlie
aduise
,
and
looke
vpon
the
fundation
,
to
sée
if
it
were
stable
and
sure
.
But
after
he
was
dead
in
maner
as
aforesaide
,
some
thoughte
the
Oracle
was
accomplished
,
and
that
the
Charriot
was
vnderstood
the
fall
of
an
house
.
But
for
this
time
we
wil
gyue
ouer
mencioning
of
the
things
done
in
the
East
parte
of
Pont
,
and
speake
of
those
the

to
méete
with
Ptolome
at
Coo
,
he
receyued
and
welcomed
him
right
honorably
.
But
after
he
sée
his
prodigalitie
and
ambition
,
to
winne
and
get
away
Ptolome
his
Captaynes
,
fearing
he
went
about
to
betray
him
,
he
preuented
the
matter
,
and
caused
him
to
be
apprehended
and
poysoned
:
and
attracting
his
Souldiours
to
his
fauoure
,
deuided
them
amongs
his
bandes
.
In
this
meane
while
,
after
Polispercon
had
assembled
a
great
armie
,
he
tooke
hys
iourney
to
bring
Hercules
the
sonne
of
Alexander
by
Barsine
,
to
the
realme
of
Macedon
.
And
when
he
was
with
hys
armie
come
to
the
place
Stymphale
,
Cassander
also
came
thyther
with
a
puissaunt
armie
,
and
encamped
very
néere
hym
.
But
when
he
perceyued
that
the
Macedonians
which
came
with
him
,
were
satisfied
and
content
that
Hercules
should
be
restored
to
his
fathers
realme
,
and
fearing
if
they
sée
him
,
they
would
quickly
take
his
part
,
sent
secret
Messangers
to
Polispercon
,
declaring
that
so
soone
as
he
had
restored
Hercules
to
his
realme
,
he
shoulde
then
become
his
subiect
and
thrall
:
but
if
he
would
kil
him
,
and
make
alliaunce
with
the
saide
Cassander
,
he
would
first
render
and
restore
to
him
,
al
that
he
before
held
and
enioyed
in
Macedone
,
gyue
him
a
sufficient
armie
,
nominate
&
proclame
him
Prince
and
Gouernour
of
Peloponnese
,
make
him
partaker
and
consorte
of
all
he
had
vnder
his
dominion
,
and
besides
haue
him
in
greater
honour
and
reuerence
,
than
any
other
of
the
Satrapes
.
Through
these
persuasions
and
faire
promisses
,
he
induced
Polispercon
to
consent
vnto
this
mischeuous
and
wicked
practize
:
and
after
they
had
plighted
their
faythes
one
to
an
other
,
he
caused
the
yong
Hercules
trayterouslie
to
be
slaine
:
and
that
done
,
openly
then
shewed
him selfe
friende
to
Cassander
,
who
for
accomplishing
hys
promysse
,
rendred
first
to
him
all
that
he
had
held
and
enioyed
in
Macedon
,
and
after
deliuered
him
.iiij.
thousand
Macedonian
footemen
,
and
.v.
hundred
Thessalian
horsse
:
and
so
many
as
voluntarily
came
to
serue
him
,
he
receyued
and
gaue
them
good
enterteynement
,
with
which
armie
he
inuaded
and
entred
Peloponnese
,
through
the
countrey
of
Beoce
:
but
being
by
the
Beotians
and
Peloponnesians
repulsed
,
he
returned
with
his
armie
and
wintred
in
Locres
.
The

founded

ABout

,

a
colonie
of
the
Romaines
,
were
in
vattaill
by
the
Romaine
Consuls
vanquished
&
chased
home
into
their
campe
:
whiche
Romaines
came
thyther
with
great
power
,
of
purpose
to
rayse
their
siege
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Samnites
séeing
the
Romaine
armies
farre
from
their
countrey
,
burnt
,
wasted
,
and
pilled
the
landes
and
countrey
of
the
Iapides
,
confederats
with
the
Romaines
.
By
reason
whereof
the
Consuls
were
enforced
to
deuide
their
armie
,
leauing
Fabie
in
Toscane
,
Fabie
.
and
sent
Martie
against
the
Samnites
,
Martie
.
who
tooke
by
force
the
citie
of
Aliphe
,
and
deliuered
the
Allies
of
the
Romaine
people
,
from
the
necessitie
and
daunger
they
were
in
.
Agayne
,
Fabie
séeing
that
a
great
number
of
the
Tyrrhenians
were
assembled
to
besiege
the
Citie
of
Souttre
,
secretly
departed
from
that
quarter
,
and
passing
throughe
the
territorie
of
their
neighbours
,
before
they
were
espied
,
entred
the
hie
countrey
,
whiche
of
long
had
bene
vnpilled
and
vnrobbed
of
any
enemie
,
and
spoyled
and
fouraged
it
all
ouer
,
and
slew
numbres
of
the
paysaunts
that
resisted
hym
,
and
tooke
many
prisoners
.
Whiche
done
,
he
went
against
Perouse
:
and
finding
the
Tyrrhenians
there
assembled
in
battaill
,
Perouse
.
discomfited
them
,
and
slew
a
great
numbre
,
wherwith
they
were
maruelously
amazed
:
for
the
Romaines
had
neuer
ben
so
beforehand
as
Fabie
was
them
.
Who
after
that
victorie
,
trused
with
the
Aretians
,
Crotonians
and
Perousians
:
and
shortly
after
tooke
by
force
the
citie
of
the
Tyrrhenians
named
Castolle
,
Castolle
.
by
meane
whereof
they
were
enforced
to
raise
their
siege
from
before
the
citie
of
Souttre
.
In
this
season
Appie
Claudie
and
Lucie
Claudie
were
by
the
Romaines
elect
and
named
Censores
.
Ap.
Claudius
.
I.
Claudius
.
And
the
said
Appie
being
throughe
flatterie
of
his
companion
,
in
all
doings
followed
,
chaunged
and
altered
many
of
the
ancient
customes
of
the
citie
,
for
he
(
to
please
the
communaltie
)
had
no
regard
to
content
the
Senate
.
And
firste
,
he
caused
a
pipe
of
lead
to
be
brought
into
the
Citie
by
conductes
foure
score
furlongs
long
,
to
the
great
coste
and
charge
of
the
common
treasure
,
withoute
making
the
Senate
any
thing
priuie
thereto
,
and
called
it
after
his
owne
name
Appie
.
He
likewise
caused
the
wayes
and
straights
,
from
Rome
to
Capue
,
being
a
thousand
furlongs
distaunt
betwene
,
to
be
paued
,
and
called
them
Appie
,
he
playned
and
leuelled
also
all
the
rockes
and
mountaynes
,
and
filled
vp
all
the
ditches
and
vallies
with
earth
and
rubushe
,
so
that
he
had
about
those
works
employed
&
bestowed
almost
the
whole
reuenue
of
the
Citie
,
to
haue
his
name
ymmortall
,
for
his
liberalitie
and
munificence
towardes
the
weale
publicke
,
besides
great
nouelties
and
chaunges
in
the
Senate
by
him
made
.
For
where
in
times
past
were
none
but
of
the
noblest
houses
and
greatest
wealth
admitted
to
the
dignitie
of
a
Senator
,
he
put
in
many
sclaues
borne
,
wherewith
the
nobles
and
gentlemen
were
greatly
offended
.
He
likewise
graunted
to
euery
of
the
Citizens
,
to
enrolle
&
writte
him selfe
in
what
tribe
he
would
,
and
in
the
same
paye
his
rente
.
Moreouer
,
when
he
perceyued
the
nobles
wholie
moued
and
bent
against
him
,
he
woulde
do
nothing
,
that
in
any
wise
should
seeme
to
please
or
content
them
,
nor
do
any
thing
according
to
their
intention
and
desire
,
that
by
any
meane
might
displease
the
meane
sorte
of
the
communaltie
:
making
in
this
sorte
hys
parte
good
against
the
nobles
,
through
the
good
willes
of
the
commons
.
So
that
,
when
it
came
to
the
musters
of
the
horssemen
,
he
woulde
not
once
reiect
any
horsse
of
theirs
,
and
in
vewing
the
Senate
,
would
not
put
backe
one
of
the
infamed
according
to
the
auncient
custome
therein
always
before
obserued
and
kepte
.
By
reason
whereof
,
the
Senates
to
despite
him
,
when
they
assembled
the
Senate
,
would
not
once
cal
to
counsail
the
Senators
by
him
appointed
,
but
onely
those
whiche
before
had
ben
by
the
others
Censors
nominated
and
chosen
.
Howbeit
,
the
communaltie
thinking
to
please
Appie
,
&
to
vpholde
and
mainteyne
that
whiche
he
had
done
,
and
also
desiring
that
the
promotion
of
their
kinsfolkes
and
friends
by
him
pronounced
Senators
might
take
effect
,
chose
to
the
chief
and
principall
office
of
Edilite
Gne
Flauie
,
Gne
Flauie
.
sonne
to
a
bondman
:
whiche
thing
in
Rome
was
neuer
before
seene
.
When
all
these
things
were
finished
and
done
,
and
that
the
ende
and
terme
of
Appie
was
consumed
and
determined
,
to
auoyde
the
malice
and
displeasure
of
the
nobles
conceyued
against
him
,
he
feigned
and
countrefaited
blindnesse
,
and
neuer
after
remoued
out
of
his
owne
house
.
¶
After
Ptolome
Prince
of
Egipt
hath
restored
one
parte
of
the
Cities
of

to

he
for
despite

in

of

miserablie
slayne
.
The
.vj.
Chapter
.
THe
yeare
that
Carine
helde
the
principalitie
of
Athens
,
and
at
Rome
were
created
Consuls
,
Publie
Decie
and
Quite
Fabie●
and
in
the
Olympiade
the
.
Cxxvij
.
Ptolome
Prince
of
Egipt
went
to
Sea
with
a
great
armie
from
Mynde
:
and
sayling
alongest
the
Isles
of
Grece
,
deliuered
first
Andrie
from
the
subiection
of
Antigone●
and
expulsed
his
garrisons
.
From
thence
he
sayled
to
the
straight
of
Peloponnese
,
called
Isthmus
,
and
there
tooke
the
cities
of
Sycione
,
Corynth
,
and
Cratesipole
,
and
restored
them
to
libertie
,
fully
de●
ermined
to
do
the
lyke
to
the
rest
of
the
cities
in
Grece
,
thinking
thereby
to
get
great
good
will
and
fauoure
,
and
so
to
fortifie
and
make
strong
his
estate
.
But
after
he
sée
that
the
Peloponnesians
would
not
with
victuals
and
money
ayde
him
according
to
their
promisse
,
he
for
despite
and
anger
,
allied
and
concluded
a
peace
with
Cassander
,
wherein
was
declared
,
&
agreed
on
,
that
euery
of
them
should
gouerne
the
Cities
and
Prouinces
alreadie
in
their
possessions
.
And
vppon
that
conclusion
,
after
he
had
garrisonned
Sycione
and
Corinth
,
he
returned
into
Egipt
.
In
the
meane
while
Cleopatre
séeing
the
enimitie
dayly
betwene
hir
and
Antigone
encrease
,
determined
to
ioyne
with
Ptolome
,
and
so
departed
from
the
Citie
of
Sardis
,
meaning
to
séeke
hym
out
.
It
is
to
be
vnderstood
,
that
Cleopatre
was
sister
to
Alexander
the
great
,
and
sometime
wife
to
Alexander
late
King
of
Epyre
deceased
,
whiche
warred
in
Italie
:
whome
for
the
noblenesse
of
hir
ligne
and
stemme
,
Cassander
,
Lysimache
,
Antigone
,
Ptolome
,
and
in
effect
all
the
puissaunt
and
renowmed
Princes
&
Chieftaynes
which
remained
after
Alexander
the
great
,
greatly
desired
to
wife
,
thinking
that
the
Macedonians
would
soone
obey
and
follow
him
,
who
shoulde
marry
hir
,
by
reason
of
the
affinitie
he
should
haue
in
the
bloud
Royall
,
and
be
held
for
chief
and
soueraigne
ouer
the
rest
.
But
the
deputie
of
the
Citie
of
Sardes
for
Antigone
,
hauing
from
hym
expresse
charge
and
commaundement
to
take
diligent
héede
she
departed
not
,
incontinent
stayed
hir
going
.
And
after
,
by
the
commaundement
of
Antigone
,
throughe
certen
women
whome
he
had
for
that
purpose
corrupted
,
put
hir
to
death
.
And
bycause
Antigone
woulde
not
séeme
to
be
the
Author
of
so
execrable
a
murder
,
he
by
iustice
put
to
death
certen
of
the
said
women
,
as
if
they
had
perpetrated
and
committed
some
hainous
facte
:
and
verie
honorably
buried
the
body
of
the
Ladie
,
as
apperteyned
to
so
noble
a
Dame
.
In
this
sorte
Cleopatre
for
marriage
of
whome
all
the
noble
and
renowmed
Princes
were
at
debate
and
controuersie
,
before
the
time
of

ended
hir
life

¶
After
the
taking

of

,
Demetre
,
Antigone
his
sonne
,
by

restoreth
Athens
,
Megare

and
many
other
Cities
of

and
of
their

and
the
honours
they
iudged
him
worthie
for
that
his
benefite
&
good
turne
.
The
.vj.
Chapter
.
THe
same
yéere
in
which
Anaxicrate
held
the
gouernement
of
Athens
,
and
that
Appie
Claudie
and
Lucie
Volamine
were
at
Rome
created
Consuls
,
when
Demetre
Antigone
his
sonne
(
to
execute
his
Fathers
commaundement
for
restauration
of
the
Cities
of
Grece
to
libertie
)
had
gotten
togyther
a
great
number
of
footemen
,
shippes
,
plentie
of
armoure
,
and
all
other
munition
méete
&
necessarie
for
a
siege
,
he
loused
from
Ephesus
,
and
sayled
directly
to
the
Citie
of
Athens
,
by
Cassander
garrisoned
.
And
after
he
had
before
the
Porte
of
Pyrea
pitched
his
campe
,
he
caused
by
an
edict
,
his
fathers
commaundement
to
be
published
for
the
restauration
of
the
cities
of
Grece
to
libertie
.
But
Dionise
Captayne
of
Munychie
,
and
Demetre
Phalerey
deputie
of
Athens
for
Cassander
,
right
ouer
against
him
had
with
Souldiours
manned
their
walles
and
curtens
.
Neuerthelesse
some
of
Antigone
his
Souldiours
had
gotten
one
quarter
of
the
curten
of
Pire
,
standing
vppon
the
Sea
side
named
Acten
,
and
there
slew
and
repulsed
the
enimie
,
whiche
was
the
cause
of
the
taking
of
Pyre
.
Howbeit
,
Dionise
retired
into
Munichie
,
and
Demetre
Phalerey
into
the
Citie
of
Athens
,
who
the
next
day
in
the
morning
was
by
the
commoners
sent
in
an
Ambassade
towardes
Demetre
,
before
whom
he
propounded
aswell
the
deliueraunce
of
the
citie
and
Citizens
,
as
also
his
owne
.
But
when
he
see
he
could
no
whit
impetrate
or
get
graunt
for
the
said
Citie
,
but
for
him selfe
only
,
he
fled
into
Egipt
to
Ptolome
,
and
so
abandoned
hys
Countrey
after
he
had
gouerned
the
citie
.x.
yeares
.
And
after
the
people
had
gotten
libertie
,
they
adiudged
the
authors
thereof
worthie
perpetuall
honours
.
In
this
meane
tyme
Demetre
hauing
great
prouision
of
shot
and
engines
for
to
assault
,
both
by
Sea
and
land
besieged
Munychie
.
Howbeit
Dionise
and
his
souldiours
had
great
aduantage
of
the
enimie
,
by
reason
the
towne
was
of
great
heigth
,
and
the
scituation
of
the
walles
agréeing
thereto
,
so
that
they
right
valiauntlie
defended
it
,
although
Demetre
hadde
maruelous
great
prouision
of
all
things
.
And
lastly
,
after
he
had
two
dayes
togyther
without
staye
assaulted
the
castle
,
he
shreudlie
daunted
the
courages
of
the
defendants
,
bycause
the
greater
number
were
sore
hurte
and
gald
with
shot
,
not
able
to
releue
the
curten
with
fresh
men
,
and
the
assailaunts
by
reason
of
their
mightie
numbre
,
continuallie
refreshed
and
releued
their
Souldiers
,
and
thereby
at
last
wanne

By

WHen
Demetre
had
executed
and
performed
hys
Fathers
commaundement
,
concerning
the
restauration
of
the
Cities
of
Grece
,
he
sailed
into
Carie
,
&
from
thence
sent
his
Ambassadoures
to
the
Rhodians
,
to
persuade
them
to
allie
and
ioyne
with
him
in
the
warre
against
Ptolome
,
whereunto
they
would
not
agrée
,
but
concluded
to
be
in
amitie
and
friendship
with
them
both
,
and
not
to
make
or
medle
with
any
of
their
doings
,
which
was
the
first
occasion
and
chief
cause
that
plucked
away
the
harts
of
the
Rhodians
from
Antigone
.
From
thence
loused
Demetre
,
and
passing
elongest
the
Isle
of
Sicile
,
leuied
shippes
and
Souldiours
and
sayled
into

,
hauing
with

,
and
a
number
of
Barques
laden
with

and
other
necessarie
hablements
for
the
armie
.
And
first
he
landed
on
the
coast
of

,
Carpasie
.
and
there
encamped
hard
by
the
shoare
,
which
he
entrenched
with

.
From
thence
he
went
to
the
siege
of

,

.
making
incursions
on

,
and
tooke

.
That
done
,
leauing
a
sufficient
number
for
the
garde
of
his
shippes
,
he
marched
on
to
Salamine
,

whereof
Menelaye
was
deputie
for
Ptolome
,
Menelaye
.
who
had
leuied
a
number
of
men
in
the
Isle
,
and
retired
into
Salamine
,
&
hauing
intelligence
that
Demetre
was
approched
within
.xl.
furlongs
of
the
citie
,
he
marched
oute
against
him
with
.xij.
thousande
footemen
and
.viij.
hundred
horsse
,
and
encountred
him
in

,
but
after
the
horssemen
had
a
while
lustely
charged
one

,
the
Menelaians
retired
and
fled
,
and
the
Demetrians
séeing
the
victorie
theirs
,
subsecuted
and
chased
them
harde
to
the
walles
of
the
citie
,
so
that
they
slewe
aboute
a

,
and
tooke
aboue
thrée
thousand
prisoners
.
Whome
Demetre
reteyned
in
wages
,
and
deuided
amongs
hys
bandes
.
But
when
he
see
they
dayly
fled
from
him
to
Menelaye
,
bycause
their
goods
and
baggage
,
were
left
in
Egipt
with
Ptolome
:
and
that
he
could
not
reduce
them
to
his
amitie
and
seruice
,
he
enbarqued
the
rest
,
and
sent
them
to
his
father
lying
in
the
hier
Syrie
,
where
he
buylt
about
the
ryuer
Oronte
a
verie
sumptuous
Citie
,
called
after
his
owne
name
Antigone
,
being
foure
score
furlongs
about
.
Now
was
this
a
méete
and
necessarie
place
to
get
and
hold
the
imperiall
dominion
of
Babylon
and
al
the
hier
and
lower
Satrapies
in
subiection
,
notwithstanding
,
it
stoode
not
or
continued
long
:
for
Seleuke
shortly
after
destroyed
it
and
transported
the
inhabitaunts
into
an
other
citie
of
his
foundation
and
building
called
after
his
name
Seleuke
.
After
Demetre
hadde
bene
victor
in
the
battaill
aforesaid
,
Menelaye
and
the
reste
of
his
Souldiours
which
escaped
and
had
gotten
the
Citie
of
Salamine
,
made
great
preparation
of
shot
and
engines
for
their
defence
and
suretie
,
deuiding
the
quarters
of
their
walles
with
the
towers
and
flankers
betwene
them
,
bycause
they
sée
that
Demetre
determined
with
al
his
power
and
force
,
to
attempt
and
assault
the
citie
.
They
also
sent
into
Egipt
to
Ptolome
,
signifying
to
hym
of
their
estate
and
daunger
,
solliciting
him
to
send
hys
ayde
and
helpe
.
When
Demetre
sée
that
the
Citie
was
mightie
and
strong
,
and
throughlie
manned
,
he
determined
to
make
huge
&
mightie
engines
wherewith
they
commonly
vsed
to
besiege
and
ouerthrow
Townes
and
Cities
,
which
shot
stones
and
other
kinde
of
shot
of
all
sortes
against
the
walles
,
and
the
residue
of
his
prouision
maruelous
terrible
to
batter
&
ouerthrow
the
same
.
For
exploiting
wherof
he
sent
for
a
wonderful
number
of
workemen
and
artificers
,
&
plentie
of
yron
and
such
other
stuffe
out
of
Syrie
,
so
that
in
short
tyme
he
had
prepared
and
made
readie
all
things
to
batter
and
ouerthrow
the
walles
.
But
amongs
other
his
deuises
he
caused
an
engine
to
be
made
called
Helepolis
,
Helepolis
.
to
saye
,
an
ouerthrower
of
cities
.xl.
cubits
eche
waye
square
,
and
foure
score
and
ten
cubits
hie
,
in
which
were
.ix.
stories
or
sellers
deuided
one
from
another
with
planchers
of
wood
,
all
running
vppon
foure
great
wheles
.viij.
cubits
hie
.
He
had
also
many
other
engines
called
Rammes
,
very
large
&
great
to
batter
any
wall
,
&
two
great
and
puissaunt
Tortoises
to
helpe
them
.
In
the
lowermost
sellers
of
the
Helepolis
he
planted
store
of
engines
and
ordinaunce
which
threw
and
shot
stones
,
the
greater
sorte
waying
thrée
Talents
.
In
the
middle
stories
he
planted
engines
made
like
boltes
shooting
long
&
sharpe
shot
,
and
in
the
hier
stages
were
other
whiche
shot
lesse
and
lighter
.
He
placed
also
in
the
saide
roomes
or
stories
two
hundred
experte
Souldiours
to
shoote
off
and
handle
the
said
ordinaunce
and
engines
.
After
he
hadde
placed
his
engines
of
battery
against
the
wall
,
he
in
short
time
beat
down
the
toppes
and
batlements
of
the
curten
,
and
after
sore
battered
and
shaked
the
walles
:
Howbeit
the
besieged
so
valiauntly
defended
their
Citie
with
such
weapon
and
engines
as
they
had
prepared
against
the
assaultes
,
that
for
certen
dayes
no
man
could
iudge
of
the
winning
of
the
citie
,
suche
were
the
noble
hartes
and
courages
inuincible
of
the
honorable
Captaynes
and
lustie
Souldiours
on
eyther
side
.
But
to
be
short
,
the
wall
was
so
sore
battered
and
shaken
,
and
a
long
breach
made
,
that
the
citie
was
disfurnished
of
defence
and
no
remedy
but
to
yelde
or
be
taken
the
nexte
day
following
,
if
there
were
not
found
some
newe
maner
of
defence
that
night
,
before
the
assault
ceassed
.
Wherfore
the
Menelayans
hauing
great
store
and
plenty
of
drie
wood
and
suche
like
stuffe
whiche
soone
would
take
fire
,
about
midnight
so
néere
approched
the
engines
of
the
enimie
,
that
with
long
poles
and
other
which
they
had
lighted
,
they
cast
in
fire
:
so
that
in
lesse
than
an
houre
,
the
fire
grew
so
quicke
and
terrible
,
that
they
had
burnt
the
greater
part
of
the
engines
and
the
souldiours
within
them
:
which
thing
the
Demetrians
coulde
not
helpe
,
and
auoide
by
reason
of
the
sodainenesse
therof
.
And
althoughe
Demetre
for
that
time
was
frustrate
of
hys
determination
&
purpose
,
yet
had
he
good
hope
and
still
vrged
to
take
the
citie
,
continuing
the
siege
both
by
Sea
&
land
,
not
doubting
but
in
the
ende
to
winne
it
.
In
this
meane
while
Ptolome
hauing
intelligence
of
the
affaires
and
slaughter
of
his
people
,
departed
oute
of
Egipt
,
and
tooke
sea
with
a
great
power
sayling
towardes
Salamine
,
and
being
dryuen
into
the
Porte
of
Paphe
in
the
Isle
of
Cypres
,
he
there
landed
and
got
togyther
all
the
ships
of
the
cities
thereabout
,
and
from
them
made
his
course
to
Syrie
,
distaunt
from
Salamine
two
hundred
furlongs
.
He
had
in
his
Nauie
an
.
Cl.
Gallies
,
wherof
the
greater
were
of
.v.
tier
of
ores
on
a
side
,
and
the
lesser
of
foure
:
he
had
also
aboue
two
hundred
Barques
,
wherein
were
enbarqued
aboue
ten
thousand
souldiours
,
and
the
reste
laden
with
baggage
and
other
prouision
.
He
sent
by
land
likewise
certen
Messangers
to
Menelaye
,
commaunding
him
if
it
were
possible
to
send
the
.lx.
Gallies
lying
in
the
hauen
of
Salamine
,
which
ioyned
with
his
,
&
he
thought
to
be
much
stronger
at
sea
then
Demetre
,
hauing
two
hundred
Gallies
or
better
.
When
Demetre
vnderstoode
of
Ptolome
his
comming
,
he
left
the
siege
furnished
before
the
citie
,
and
enbarqued
the
rest
of
his
Souldiours
with
great
store
of
shot
and
engines
which
shot
far
off
,
planting
them
in
the
noses
of
his
Gallies
,
and
when
he
had
arranged
them
all
in
order
of
battaill
,
he
enuironed
the
Towne
,
and
in
the
mouth
of
the
hauen
cast
ancre
,
and
road
there
all
that
night
withoute
the
daunger
of
the
shot
,
bothe
for
stopping
of
the
Gallies
which
laye
in
the
Port
,
that
they
should
not
get
out
to
ioyne
with
Ptolome
,
and
also
to
sée
what
course
Ptolome
kept
,
to
the
ende
that
which
waye
soeuer
he
came
,
he
would
be
arranged
and
readie
in
order
of
battaill
to
fight
.
But
after
the
day
once
appeared
,
he
might
descry
a
mightie
and
terrible
Nauie
of
Ptolomes
,
sayling
towards
the
citie
,
whereat
he
was
astonied
:
Anthiston
.
wherfore
he
left
his
Admirall
Anthiston
with
ten
Gallies
of
fiue
tier
of
ores
,
in
the
place
where
he
laye
,
to
garde
and
take
héede
that
the
Gallies
of
the
Towne
made
not
out
,
&
commaunded
hys
horsemen
to
ryde
all
alongest
the
shoare
,
to
the
end
,
that
if
any
mischief
happened
him
,
they
might
saue
them
which
were
ouerthrowen
into
the
sea
and
swamme
to
lande
:
and
him selfe
in
order
of
battaill
,
sailed
against
the
enemie
with
a
Nauie
of
a
.
Cviij
.
saile
with
those
he
receyued
of
the
cities
he
wanne
,
whereof
the
greater
were
of
vij
.
tier
,
and
the
rest
of
.v.
tier
.
And
first
in
the
left
wing
or
rereward
he
placed
.vij.
Phenician
Gallies
of
.vij.
tier
,
and
of
the
Athenians
.xxx.
of
foure
tier
,
appointing
Mede
,
Mede
.
the
leading
of
that
battaill
:
behinde
them
he
placed
ten
of
sixe
tier
,
and
ten
of
fiue
tier
,
meaning
to
fortifie
and
strengthen
that
well
,
wherein
him selfe
paraduenture
would
fight
.
In
the
middle
wing
or
maine
battaill
he
placed
the
lesser
Gallies
,
the
charge
of
which
he
committed
to
Themise
the
Samian
,
and
Martian
the
Historian
who
writte
the
déedes
and
gestes
of
the
Macedonians
.
The
right
wing
or
vowarde
lead
Egesippe
the
Alicarnasian
,
and
Plescias
of
Coho
,
Admirall
of
the
whole
Nauie
.
Now
had
Ptolome
in
the
night
loosed
,
and
with
all
possible
speede
sailed
towardes
Salamine
,
thinking
to
preuent
the
enimie
,
if
he
could
gette
into
the
Porte
of
Salamine
.
But
when
it
waxed
néere
daye
,
he
might
discry
not
farre
of
the
Nauie
of
the
enimie
in
order
of
battaill
.
Wherefore
he
got
togyther
hys
Gallies
and
arranged
them
as
followeth
:
First
he
commaunded
that
the
barques
should
come
a
good
way
behinde
,
and
arranged
the
rest
in
good
and
compotent
order
,
placing
him self
in
the
left
wing
or
rereward
,
wherin
was
the
greatest
power
and
strength
.
When
he
had
ordered
and
placed
hys
battaill
,
the
Souldiours
on
eyther
side
made
the
prayers
and
supplications
to
the
Goddes
in
loude
maner
according
to
their
custome
.
And
the
Chieftayns
considering
that
the
hazard
of
their
liues
&
whole
estate
stood
thereon
,
were
very
carefull
and
sore
troubled
in
mynde
aboute
the
same
.
But
so
soone
as
they
were
approched
within
thrée
furlongs
one
of
an
other
,
Demetre
first
gaue
the
signe
and
token
of
battaill
to
his
Souldiours
,
halsing
a
terge
of
golde
in
the
poupe
of
hys
Gallie
in
the
view
of
the
whole
Nauie
:
and
shortlie
after
,
Ptolome
did
the
like
.
Then
sounded
the
trumpets
to
battaill
,
and
forthwith
beganne
a
fierce
and
violent
fight
with
shot
and
dartes
,
being
a
pretie
distaunce
asundre
,
wherein
on
eche
side
were
many
sore
hurte
:
but
after
they
drew
neerer
,
there
was
flinging
of
great
mightie
stones
,
and
the
Marryners
for
their
liues
rowed
as
harde
and
forcibly
as
they
could
,
so
that
at
the
bording
was
a
terrible
affray
,
for
they
violently
rushing
one
by
another
,
brake
and
carried
away
one
anothers
ores
,
to
the
ende
there
should
be
no
flight
nor
yet
any
great
forcible
assayling
.
Some
encountred
one
an
other
afore
,
and
there
fought
hande
to
hand
,
some
borded
on
the
broad
side
the
eas●
ier
to
get
into
the
enimie
,
bycause
it
is
difficile
and
hard
to
laye
abord
about
the
beake
or
forebough
of
a
Gallie
,
other
some
thinking
to
enter
,
fell
into
the
Sea
and
were
slaine
with
the
shorte
pikes
of
the
enimie
,
some
entred
and
slewe
many
enemy
,
and
made
the
rest
leape
into
the
Sea
,
so
that
in
the
ende
happened
diuerse
aduentures
and
victories
vnlooked
for
.
For
often
tymes
the
lesser
Gallies
borded
and
tooke
the
greater
,
bycause
they
were
so
heauie
that
they
could
not
so
readily
remoue
and
turne
to
and
fro
.
And
although
in
fight
on
lande
the
vertue
and
prowes
of
the
Grekes
winneth
them
victorie
whiche
by
no
fortune
or
chaunce
can
any
way
be
let
or
stopped
:
yet
in
conflictes
at
Sea
,
diuerse
and
sundrie
wayes
it
chaunceth
that
the
greater
power
and
most
lykely
,
The
valiauntnesse
of
Demetre
.
contrary
to
mannes
reason
,
is
soonest
vanquished
and
ouerthrowen
.
But
in
this
battaill
Demetre
amongs
the
rest
most
valiauntlie
bare
him selfe
,
for
he
getting
vp
to
the
poupe
of
a
Gailie
of
.vij.
tier
of
ores
which
he
had
wonne
,
so
stoutely
fought
against
the
Souldiours
within
,
that
what
with
dartes
and
Iauelings
he
slewe
of
them
a
great
number
,
and
some
with
playne
hand
stroks
.
And
althoughe
great
store
of
shot
came
against
him
,
yet
put
he
by
and
eschewed
some
,
&
receyued
the
rest
on
his
armoure
.
And
for
the
thrée
men
whiche
continually
were
aboute
him
,
the
one
was
with
the
pushe
of
a
pyke
slayne
,
&
the
other
two
with
shot
sore
hurt
.
But
to
be
short
,
he
so
cheualrouslie
exployted
his
matters
,
that
he
put
to
flight
the
right
wing
or
voward
of
the
enemie
,
&
as
many
as
were
next
them
.
And
Ptolome
with
his
greatest
and
most
warlike
Gallies
put
to
flight
the
leaft
wing
or
rerewarde
of
the
enimie
,
sinking
some
and
pryzing
the
rest
with
so
many
as
were
within
them
.
And
returning
as
victor
to
the
ayde
of
his
right
wing
or
vowarde
,
whiche
was
discomfited
and
put
to
flight
,
he
séeing
the
Demetrians
pursuing
and
chasing
them
,
and
after
making
towardes
him
,
was
so
afraid
,
that
he
fled
into
the
Citie
of
Citin
.
When
Demetre
had
at
Sea
atchieued
and
gotten
this
victory
,
he
deuided
hys
Nauie
and
gaue
the
charge
to
Neon
and
Burick
two
of
his
Captaynes
,
Neon
.
Buricke
.
commaunding
them
to
pursue
and
chase
the
enimie
,
and
take
in
as
many
of
his
souldiours
as
they
founde
swimming
,
and
him selfe
with
the
rest
of
his
Nauie
and
his
prizes
carried
ensignes
and
tokens
of
victorie
into
his
campe
,
lying
about
the
Porte
of
Salamine
.
In
the
meane
while
that
these
two
Prouinces
were
in
fight
,
Menelaye
deputie
of
the
Citie
of
Salamine
had
enbarqued
a
numbre
of
men
of

in

Gallies
,
ryding
in

of
Salamine
,
to
send
in
Ptolome
his
ayde
,
appointing
for
Admirall
Menete
,

.
who
with
such
violence
rowed
out
vpon
the
.x.
Gallies
which
garded
the
entry
of
the
hauen
,
that
he
put
them
all
to
flight
,
and
made
them
haste
towardes
the
shoare
where
Demetre
his
horssemen
were
.
But
the
Menetians
preuented
of
the
enemie
,
came
a
daye
after
the
faire
,
and
were
fayne
to
returne
to
their
citie
.
In
this
fight
were
aboue
a
hundred
Barques
taken
with
.viij.
thousand
Souldiours
.xl.
Gallies
and
the
Souldiours
within
them
,
and
foure
score
sore
frushed
and
shaken
,
which
Demetre
his
Souldiours
brought
awaye
laden
to
the
siege
lying
before
the
entry
of
the
Porte
of
Salamine
.
There
were
not

Demetre
his
Gallies
aboue

After
this
victorie
Ptolome
despayring
in
the
defence
&
kéeping
of
the
Isle
of
Cypres
,
returned
into
Egipt
:
and
incontinent
after
his
departure
,
Demetre
got

,
and

hundred
horsse
,
whiche
he
deuided
amongs
his

When
he
had
finished
and
accomplished
all
these
things
,
he
embarqued
certen
of
hys
most
warlikest
Gallies

had

and
sent
them
to

Father
,
signifying

THe
yeare
that
Corile
gouerned
Athens

and
at

Quinte
Martie
and
Publie
Cornelie
were
created
Consuls
,
after
King
Antigone
had
sumptuously
celebrated
the
funeralles
of
Phenix
his
yonger
Sonne
deceased
,
Phenix
he
sent
to
his
Sonne
Demetre
in
Cypres
,
to
make
haste
and
come
to
him
,
and
in
the
meane
time
him selfe
made
great
preparation
to
arrere
warres
against
Ptolome
in
Egipt
.
Which
done
he
tooke
hys
iourney
through
the
countrey
of
Celosirie
,
with
an
armie
of
foure
score
thousand
footemen
,
about
.viij.
thousand
horsse
and
foure
score
and
three
Elephantes
,
and
sent
his

by

with

L.
Gallies
and
aboue
an
hundred
Carraques
and
Barques
,
whiche
carried
his
people
and
their
baggage
,
commaunding
him
to
saile
alongest
that
shoare
side
which
the
armie
marched
on
by
land
.
And
although
the
Marriners
counsailed
him
to
staye
.xv.
dayes
longer
,
vntill
suche
tyme
as
the
daungerous
season
of
winter
were
passed
ouer
,
yet
woulde
he
not
be
ruled
,
but
very
angerly
gaue
them
despitefull
and
reprochefull
words
,
calling
them
cowards
and
dastards
:
and
encamping
at
the
citie
of
Gaze
,
Gaze
determining
to
preuent
Ptolome
hys
armie
,
commaunded
his
Souldiours
to
make
prouision
of
victualles
for
ten
dayes
,
and
laded
the
Camels
which
the
Arabians
brought
with
.
Cxxx.
thousande
Medynnes
of
wheat
,
and
haye
for
their
horsses
great
store
:
and
hys
shot
,
armour
,
weapon
,
and
other
necessaries
were
carried
by
carte
through
the
desertes
,
a
laborsome
and
painfull
iourney
,
bycause
the
wayes
were
myery
,
déepe
and
ful
of
marshes
,
but
especially
as
he
drew
néere
the
countrey
of
Baratre
.
Baratre
.
And
Demetre
who
the
same
daye
about
midnight
loused
from
Gaze
,
had
for
certen
dayes
a
faire
and
caulme
ceason
.
During
which
time
he
haled
&
drew
with
his
Gallies
the
Carraques
and
Barkes
fraught
with
Souldiours
and
sarriages
.
And
as
he
thus
for
a
fewe
dayes
rowed
,
sodenly
arose
so
great
a
flaw
of
wynd
out
of
the
North
,
that
it
put
the
Gallies
in
great
hazarde
,
in
so
much
that
some
of
them
were
carried
with
the
surgies
and
bellow
into
the
daungerous
mouth
of
the
port
of
Raphie
,
Raphie
.
bycause
it
was
almost
choked
vp
with
a
shelf
of
dyrte
and
ouze
.
And
some
of
the
Barques
whiche
carried
the
shot
,
armoure
,
and
other
carriages
,
perished
by
tempeste
,
and
other
were
dryuen
backe
ageyne
into
Gaze.
But
the
rest
of
the
Nauie
wherin
were
the
strongest
Gallies
and
lustiest
Souldiours
,
so
labored
against
the
wether
,
that
they
arriued
about
Cassile
,
Cassile
.
a
citie
scituate
vpon
the
riuer
Nile
,
hauing
no
Port
but
only
a
rode
,
which
in
the
tyme
of
any
vnseasonable
wether
or
tempest
is
very
daungerous
,
by
reason
wherof
,
the
Marryners
were
forced
to
caste
Anker
two
furlongs
from
the
shoare
riding
in
much
daunger
,
for
the
Bellow
went
so
hie
that
it
was
great
maruell
the
shippes
and
men
had
not
out
of
hand
ben
ouerthrowen
and
drowned
.
And
to
land
could
they
not
get
eyther
with
boat
or
man
,
which
land
also
belonged
to
the
enimie
:
and
that
which
was
worse
,
their
fresh
water
failed
,
and
they
driuen
to
such
néede
,
that
if
the
tempest
had
continued
but
one
daye
longer
,
they
had
all
died
of
thirst
.
While
they
were
in
this
dispaire
looking
for
present
death
,
sodenly
the
wind
calmed
&
anon
they
descried
Antigone
his
armie
encamped
not
far
from
the
Nauie
:
wherefore
they
came
on
lande
,
&
there
refreshed
them
certen
dayes
,
attending
some
good
newes
of
the
rest
of
their
shippes
.
In
this
tempest
perished
.iij.
Gallies
,
but
by
good
hap
many
of
the
Souldiours
were
saued
and
came
on
land
.
From
thence
departed
Antigone
,
and
encamped
within
two
furlongs
of
Nyle
.
But
Ptolome
alreadie
aduertised
of
the
enimies
comming
,
had
throughly
furnished
all
the
fortes
and
blockhouses
which
fronted
on
the
enimie
,
with
strong
and
mightie
garrisons●
and
sent
certen
in
smal
pynnaces
,
with
commaundement
that
they
should
row
néere
and
make
proclamation
that
so
many
as
would
come
and
serue

,
he
would
gyue
liberall
wages
and

reteynoure
,
to

Souldiour

A

.
By
reason
of
which
proclamation
most
of
Antigone
his
Mercenarie
souldiours
minded
to
serue
Ptolome
:
and
amongs
them
many
Captaynes
also
for
diuerse
occasions
desired
to
serue
him
,
so
that
Antigone
séeing
his
Souldiours
dayly
steale
from
his
campe
,
was
enforced
to
set
strong
garde
and
watch
all
alongest
the
ryuer
side
,
with
great
store
of
shot
and
engines
to
stop
the
enimie
for
comming
on
lande
,
and
gréeuouslie
punished
certen
of
those
which
were
taken
going
to
the
enimie
,
to
the
ende
to
put
the
rest
in
terrour
and
feare
.
Demetre
also
with
those
fewe
shippes
he
had
,
A
Talent
:
of
Talen●
es
were
diuers
sortes
,
one
worth
fiue
hundred
pound
,
one
of

cc●
li.
but
the
common
●
alent
of
.xl.
li.
entred
an
arme
of
the
riuer
Nyle
,
whiche
ranne
into
the
Sea
,
called
the
false
Porte
,
thinking
there
to
lande
a
number
of
his
Souldiours
.
But
when
he
founde
it
garded
with
a
lustie
garrison
,
and
that
he
was
with
shot
and
all
other
kinde
of
engines
repulsed
,
and
the
night
drawing
on
,
retired
,
and
commaunded
all
the
Captaynes
of
the
ships
to
followe
the
Admirall
by
the
light
in
the
mayne
toppe
sayling
directlie
to
the
other
entry
of
Nyle
,
called
Phenitique
.
When
daye
was
come
,
bycause
manie
of
his
ships
had
missed
their
course
,
he
was
driuen
to
stay
for
them
,
&
sent
oute
his
Brigantines
to
séeke
and
haste
them
forward
.
Wherefore
with
spending
much
tyme
in
getting
them
togyther
,
Ptolome
who
was
aduertised
of
the
certeyntie
thereof
,
made
spéede
to
gard
the
said
passage
,
so
that
he
had
a
great
numbre
of
able
fighting
men
,
readie
arranged
in
battail
vppon
the
shoare
.
When
Demetre
sée
them
thus
furnished
,
and
that
the
Countrey
next
to
the
said
entry
was
almost
all
marish
ground
,
he
sailed
backe
into
the
déepe
,
where
immediatlie
arose
suche
a
great
wind
which
so
violentlie
draue
them
towards
the
shoare
that
.vj.
Gallies
and
as
many
Barques
,
which
carried
men
of
warre
,
with
the
vehemencie
of
the
wether
were
runne
on
lande
vnder
Ptolomees
power
,
and
the
rest
with
strength
of
ores
rowed
against
the
winde
to
the
place
where
Antigone
encamped
.
When
Ptolome
had
thus
furnished
all
the
passages
of
the
Sea
with
strong
garrisons
,
and
the
entry
of
Nile
with
shippes
,
shot
and
men
,
Antigone
was
in
great
feare
.
For
once
Demetre
his
Nauie
at
Sea
serued
to
no
purpose
to
enter
the
mouth
of
Peluse
,
being
so
well
garded
and
kept
:
ageyne
the
armie
by
land
could
no
waye
passe
,
by
reason
of
the
swelling
and
rysing
of
the
ryuer
:
and
that
whiche
was
worse
,
they
hadde
so
long
trauailled
,
that
they
wanted
victuals
both
for
men
and
horses
.
When
the
souldiours
for
the
causes
aboue
said
,
began
to
murmur
and
grudge
,
Antigone
assembled
hys
armie
and
tooke
counsaill
and
aduise
of
his
Captaynes
,
whether
it
were
more
expedient
to
tarry
and
continue
hys
enterprise
,
or
presentlie
to
returne
into
Syrie
,
and
come
agayne
at
some
other
more
conuenient
tyme
,
when
he
were
better
appointed
and
the
ryuer
Nile
fallen
lower
.
But
when
he
see
them
all
of
mynde
and
accord
,
he
brake
vp
the
camp
and
spéedily
returned
into
Syrie
by
land
,
hauing
his
Nauie
sayling
by
him
all
alongest
the
coast
.
As
soone
as
Ptolome
hadde
intelligence
of
their
departure
,
he
was

THe

And
the
selfe

yeare
the
Samnites
wonne
of
the
Romaines
the
cities
of
Sore
and
Acye
,
and
them
sacked
and
spoyled
:
Ageine
the
Romaine
Consuls
entred
the
Citie
of
Lapige
,
and
after
besieged
the
citie
of
Silue
,
whiche
the
Samnites
had
long
kepte
and
garrisoned
,
but
in
the
ende
the
Romaines
tooke
it
by
assault
,
butined
all
their

ransomed
aboue

Which
done
,
they
spoyled
the
Region
of
the
Samnites
,
cut
downe
the
wood
,
and
burnt
the
Townes
and
Uillages
.
For
the
Romaines
thought
,
bycause
the
same
Nation
hadde
alreadie
many
yeares
contended
with
them
for
the
Empire
and
rule
,
that
if
they
destroyed
their

,
they
shoulde

For
which
cause
they
for

,
burnt

spoyled
in
their
Countrey
all
that
they
could

And

The
.xj.
Chapter
.
THe
yéere
following
that
Xenippe
gouerned
Athens
,
and
Lucie
Posthume
and
Tyberie
Mynute
were
at
Rome
created
Consuls
,
warres
for
these
occasions
were
betwene
Antigone
&
the
Rhodians
commenced
.
For
the
citie
of
Rhodes
was
then
by
sea
verie
puissaunt
and
strong
,
and
was
most
wysely
gouerned
,
and
in
greater
reputation
than
all
the
other
Cities
of
Grece
.
By
reason
wherof
,
al
the
Kings
and
Princes
in
those
dayes
hadde
an
eye
thereunto
,
and
endeuoured
them
to
obtayne
and
get
their
fauoure
and
alliaunce
on
their
side
.
But
the
Rhodians
who
foresaw
and
considered
their
common
emolument
and
commoditie
,
gently
enterteyned
al
the
said
Princes
,
and
had
with
euery
of
them
a
particular
league
and
amitie
,
withoute
entremedling
at
any
hande
with
any
of
them
in
their
warres
.
Whereuppon
happened
,
that
all
the
said
Princes
honoured
and
cherished
them
diuersly
,
&
with
great
giftes
remunerated
and
gratified
them
:
by
which
meane
they
long
liued
in
tranquillitie
and
wealth
.
Throughe
whiche
occasion
,
their
power
so
greatly
encreased
,
that
they
at
their
owne
costes
and
charges
enterprised
warre
for
the
whole
state
of
Grece
,
against
all
Pyrats
,
and
clearely
purged
the
Seas
of
all
theeues
and
rouers
.
But
their
chiefest
and
greatest
estimation
was
,
that
Alexander
surnamed
the
great
,
moste
renowmed
of
all
Princes
of
the
worlde
of
whome
remaineth
any
mention
,
made
so
muche
more
accompte
thereof
,
than
of
all
the
other
Cities
of
Grece
:
so
that
he
gaue
them
the
Testament
of
his
whole
estate
and
Empire
,
to
kéepe
,
and
in
all
things
he
might
,
honoured
and
greatlie
aduaunced
the
same
.
And
although
the
Rhodians
had
in
such
sorte
(
with
all
the
most
puissaunt
Princes
&
Potentates
)
liued
,
that
none
of
them
could
reasonablie
complayne
on
them
or
be
agreeued
:
yet
had
they
neuerthelesse
farre
greater
amitie
and
familiaritie
with
Ptolome
than
with
all
the
rest
,
bycause
their
Marchauntes
had
greater
traffique
and
commoditie
from
the
countrey
of
Egipt
than
else
where
,
and
the
greater
parte
of
the
citie
lyued
and
was
mainteyned
by
the
marchaundise
of
the
said
countrey
.
Whiche
thing
Antigone
vnderstanding
,
dyd
all
that
in
him
laye
to
turne
the
trade
and
entercourse
of
Marchandise
thence
,
Wherfore
after
his
sonne
had
warred
vpon
Ptolome
in
Cypres
,
he
sent
his
Ambassadors
towards
them
,
praying
their
ayde
and
to
send
their
shippes
to
Demetre
hys
sonne
.
But
when
he
sée
they
woulde
not
heare
him
,
he
sent
one
of
his
Sea
Captaynes
with
certen
number
of
shippes
in
that
quarter
,
commaunding
him
to
staye
and
take
so
many
saile
of
Rhodians
as
he
founde
sayling
into
Egipt
,
and
to
spoyle
and
robbe
them
of
their
marchandise
.
But
the
Rhodians
thereof
aduertized
,
draue
hym
quickly
backe
,
and
chased
him
quite
from
those
Seas
.
Whereuppon
Antigone
tooke
his
occasion
to
saye
that
they
were
the
authors
of
the
warre
.
So
he
with
many
minatorie
termes
menaced
them
,
and
vaunted
and
bragged
that
he
would
with
his
so
mightie
a
power
come
against
them
,
&
that
he
would
besiege
their
citie
.
Wherof
the
Rhodians
aduertised
,
decréed
to
do
hym
great
honours
in
their
citie
,
sent
great
Ambassades
to
him
,
praying
him
not
to
enforce
them
to
make
warre
against
Ptolome
,
nor
yet
to
breake
their
promisse
and
alliaunce
which
they
had
with
him
.
Antigone
gaue
a
fierce
and
sterne
aunswer
,
and
therewith
sent
Demetre
his
Sonne
with
a
great
armie
,
store
of
engines
and
artillery
to
besiege
and
beat
downe
the
citie
.
Whereupon
they
were
astonied
,
so
fearing
the
great
power
of
the
King
,
that
they
sent
to
Demetre
,
declaring
that
they
were
readie
and
content
to
go
with
Antigone
to
warre
vpon
Ptolome
.
Who
neuerthelesse
was
scarcely
content
therewith
,
but
demaunded
an
hundred
ostages
of
the
chief
and
principall
of
the
citie
to
be
deliuered
him
,
and
also
to
haue
his
Nauie
receyued
into
their
Portes
.
Which
demaunde
made
them
greatlie
suspect
,
that
he
went
about
to
make
hymself
Lord
of
the
Town
,
&
therfore
made
all
the
preparation
they
could
for
their
defence
.
When
Demetre
had
assembled
his
armie
at
the
Porte
of
Elorym
,
he
trymmed
his
Nauie
to
saile
to
the
siege
of
Rhodes
,
in
whiche
were
two
hundred
Gallies
of
sundrie
mouldes
,
and
of
other
shippes
to
carry
men
and
victualles
.
Clxx.
and
in
them
aboue
.xl.
M.
souldiers
,
besides
an
innumerable
number
of
armoures
,
shot
of
all
sortes
,
and
all
other
engines
of
battery
.
There
were
besides
aboue
a
thousand
Foistes
and
Barques
of
Marchaunts
and
diuerse
other
sundrie
kind
of
people
,
who
followed
the
Campe
to
traffique
.
For
knowing
that
the
Rhodians
had
ben
long
without
wars
,
they
thought
there
would
be
such
store
of
wealth
in
the
Countrey
,
whereby
the
Marchaunts
should
be
great
gayners
.
When
Demetre
had
set
all
things
in
readinesse
,
he
went
to
Sea
,
and
so
ordered
his
shippes
as
though
he
would
fight
.
And
first
he
placed
his
Gallies
in
the
first
front
&
in
their
noses
he
couched
great
engines
,
which
shot
great
sharp
arowes
of
wood
.iij.
spannes
about
:
next
them
came
the
shippes
whiche
carried
the
horses
whiche
were
haled
out
by
the
Gallies
and
other
small
pynnaces
rowed
with
ores
.
In
the
latter
flote
came
the
Pyrats
and
Marchaunts
aforesaide
,
so
that
all
the
Sea
betwene
the
citie
and
the
firme
land
was
couered
with
shippes
:
which
sight
sore
dismayed
and
troubled
the
citizens
.
Neuerthelesse
they
with
their
Souldiours
and
so
many
as
were
able
to
beare
armes
,
manned
their
walles
and
bulwarkes
,
awayting
the
approche
of
the
enimie
,
and
the
olde
people
and
children
were
set
in
the
garrets
and
hiest
places
of
the
houses
to
beholde
them
,
for
the
citie
stoode
so
vppon
the
Sea
,
like
vnto
a
Theatre
,
that
they
might
clearely
sée
the
hugenesse
of
the
shippes
,
and
the
braue
glistering
armoures
and
helmes
,
whiche
was
a
terrible
thing
to
sée
,
and
that
made
them
carefull
of
their
estate
and
Citie
.
Shortly
after
,
Demetre
landed
and
encamped
before
the
citie
without
daunger
of
the
shot
,
&
incontinent
after
he
had
pitched
his
camp
,
sent
out
his
Pyrats
&
a nother
companie
thoroughout
the
Isle
,
to
spoyle
and
robbe
it
both
by
sea
and
land
:
And
further
himselfe
caused
to
fel
the
trées
&
pull
down
the
houses
in
the
fieldes
to
make
and
buyld
vp
the
lodgings
and
fortifications
in
hys
Campe
,
which
he
with
a
treble
of
wood
&
earth
fortified
,
that
it
might
be
the
stronger
against
the
force
and
power
of
the
enimie
.
He
likewise
filled
the
voide
ground
and
places
betwixt
the
Citie
,
&
the
Porte
:
and
left
at
the
Sea
side
onely
a
space
for
the
Nauie
to
ryde
in
.
In
the
meane
while
the
Rhodians
sent
many
and
sundrie
tymes
Ambassadoures
to
praye
hym
not
to
do
them
any
hurte
.
But
when
they
perceyued
he
would
giue
them
no
reasonable
aunswere
,
they
sent
to
Ptolome
,
Caslander
,
and
Lysimache
,
requiring
them
to
come
to
the
aide
and
succour
of
the
citie
,
which
for
their
quarrell
was
besieged
and
oppressed
.
During
this
time
,
it
was
put
to
choise
of
the
inhabitaunts
within
the
citie
able
to
beare
armoure
,
aswell
Citizens
as
Forainers
,
whether
they
would
tarry
and
abyde
the
daunger
of
the
siege
,
or
else
departe
the
towne
:
and
so
many
as
would
not
tarry
,
as
also
those
which
were
vnméete
for
the
defence
thereof
,
they
excluded
the
citie
,
f●
reséeing
that
their
victualles
thereby
shoulde
last
longer
,
and
that
no
man
should
saye
he
was
there
against
hys
will
besieged
,
and
so
not
content
therewith
,
might
deuise
and
ymagine
some
treason
or
villanie
against
the
Citie
.
This
done
,
they
mustered
the
remnaunt
,
whiche
were
aboute
sixe
thousand
Citizens
,
and
aboue
a
thousande
straungers
.
They
moreouer
made
and
published
a
Decree
,
wherein
was
agreeed
,
that
all
the
sclaues
whiche
valiauntly
serued
in
the
same
siege
,
should
with
the
common
treasure
be
bought
&
set
at
libertie
:
and
that
their
bodies
slaine
in
those
warres
,
should
be
enterred
,
their
Fathers
,
mothers
,
wyues
and
children
at
the
despence
and
cost
of
the
Citie
mainteyned
,
their
daughters
with
the
money
of
the
common
treasure
endowed
,
and
the
men
children
when
they
were
out
of
their
minoritie
,
crowned
and
armed
in
the
theatre
with
all
suche
solempnities
as
sometyme
were
done
to
Dionise
,
to
the
ende
their
Citizens
should
with
greater
courage
defend
and
mainteyne
the
citie
.
When
they
had
thus
by
an
whole
and
common
consent
accorded
,
the
riche
men
disburst
money
,
the
artisans
and
workemen
labored
to
make
armoures
,
engines
and
other
things
necessary
for
their
defence
,
so
that
in
effecte
euery
man
according
to
hys
calling
,
in
that
he
was
most
skilful
and
excellent
,
did
his
best
:
some
made
Crosbowes
and
engines
,
other
repared
and
strengthned
the
walles
,
and
the
greater
sorte
carried
stones
and
earth
to
the
curten
.
They
sent
also
out
of
the
Port
thrée
of
the
lightest
shippes
&
best
sailers
,
to
gyue
an
alarme
to
the
enimie
,
and
especiallie
vnto
the
victuallers
,
who
much
more
exploited
than
they
thought
them
able
:
for
they
soonke
many
Marchaunts
shippes
whiche
followed
the
campe
to
traffique
spoyle
,
and
buy
the
pillage
,
and
brought
a
great
number
into
the
Porte
,
which
they
after
burnt
,
and
tooke
many
prisoners
,
of
whome
,
they
according
to
the
appointement
&
conclusion
in
that
behalf
,
betwene
Demetre
and
them
accorded
and
agréed
vpon
,
tooke
a
great
summe
of
money
,
which
was
this
,
that
the
prisoners
taken
on
eyther
syde
shoulde
be
ransomed
as
followed
.
A
Drachme
is
about
the
value
of
our
Grote
.
First
that
a
frée
man
should
paye
a
thousande
Dragmes
,
and
a
bond
man
.v.
hundred
.
When
Demetre
had
prepared
and
gotten
abundaunce
of
al
things
,
he
buylt
two
great
tortoises
made
of
bords
and
couered
with
leather
that
would
not
burne
,
the
one
to
defende
his
Souldiours
from
the
stones
,
the
other
to
defend
them
from
quarrelles
and
such
like
shot
,
whiche
two
engines
were
set
vpon
two
shippes
of
burden
ioyned
and
grappeled
togyther
an
egall
distaunce
the
one
from
the
other
.
He
caused
also
to
be
set
vpon
two
other
shippes
,
two
towers
of
wood
,
euery
of
them
hauing
.iiij.
stages
or
stories
much
hier
than
the
towers
within
the
Porte
to
assaile
and
batter
them
with
great
artillerie
&
other
shot
.
He
made
also
a
notable
rampier
of
great
tymber
hollowed-nayled
and
pinned
togither
,
which
swamme
foure
féete
aboue
the
water
,
as
a
defence
before
the
ships
which
carried
the
towers
and
engines
and
great
artillerie
:
bycause
the
shippes
of
the
Towne
(
whiche
were
great
and
mightie
)
shoulde
not
borde
them
with
their
beakes
,
and
so
quash
and
breake
them
,
or
else
vtterly
repulse
them
.
In
the
meane
tyme
while
these
things
were
brought
to
an
ende
,
he
picked
oute
hys
strongest
Barques
and
furnished
them
with
thicke
plan●
hers
made
out
with
great
wyndowes
,
which
serued
in
stead
of
Port
holes
to
open
and
shut
,
at
which
he
placed
great
mightie
crosbowes
and
other
artillary
which
shot
great
arrowes
and
farre
of
,
and
men
also
cunning
in
the
handling
of
them
,
besides
a
great
number
of
other
archers
and
Arbalisters
of
the
countrey
of
Crete
.
All
which
preparations
thus
made
as
aforesaide
:
after
the
saide
shippes
and
engines
were
approched
the
wall
within
daunger

sore
hurte
and

the
Townes

which
manned
and
defended

towers
and
Bulwarkes
in

Porte
.
When
the
Rhodians
sée
that
al
the
force
and
power
of
the
enimie
was
bent
against
the
Porte
,
they
with
all
their
studie
deuised
howe
to
defend
it
.
Whereupon
they
planted
two
engines
of
Artillary
vppon
a
Bulwarke
adioyning
to
the
Porte
,
and
other
thrée
engines
vppon
thrée
ear●●
cques
néere
the
entry
of
the
little
hauen
,
wherein
were
men
,
crosbowes
,
shot
,
stones
&
other
things
necessary
,
of
great
force
to
withstand
and
repulse
the
enimie
,
were
it
eyther
to
set
men
on
land
to
wynne
the
said
bulwarke
,
or
else
to
approche
their
engines
of
Artillary
.
They
also
built
and
set
vppe
vpon
the
other
carracques
which
laye
in
the
great
Port
,
certen
receptacles
of
weapons
to
shoote
,
méete
for
the
engines
,
called
boltes
.
And
as
eyther
parte
hadde
made
ready
all
things
for
the
fight
,
and
that
Demetre
purposed
forthwith
to
approche
and
bring
néere
his
engines
of
battery
of
the
entryes
of
both
Portes
,
sodenly
arose
a
great
tempest
at
Sea
,
which
lasted
and
continued
vntil
night
.
But
when
night
came
and
the
wynd
calmed
,
he
secretly
sayled
about
the
hauen
vntill
he
came
to
the
great
Bulwarke
aboue
in
the
great
Port
,
and
wonne
that
,
being
from
the
walles
of
the
citie
about
.v.
acres
,
&
fortified
it
with
strong
rampiers
and
déepe
trenches
of
stone
and
wood
,
and
thrust
into
it
foure
hundred
souldiours
well
purueyed
of
all
kinde
of
shot
.
But
so
soone
as
daye
appeared
,
he
with
great
noyse
of
men
and
Trumpettes
brought
néere
his
engines
to
the
Porte
,
and
with
his
crosbowes
and
other
small
artillary
,
hurt
and
slewe
the
garders
of
the
rampiers
of
the
Porte
.
And
with
his
greater
engines
he
so
battered
the
Wall
,
that
there
he
brake
some
and
there
ouerthrewe
some
,
bycause
it
was
neyther
very
strong
,
nor
yet
hie
.
Neuerthelesse
the
Citizens
all
the
whole
daye
right
valiauntly
repulsed
them
,
where
was
on
eyther
side
great
slaughter
and
mischief
gyuen
and
taken
.
And
after
it
began
to
drawe
towards
night
,
Demetre
retired
and
haled
backe
his
shippes
with
his
engines
of
battery
,
out
,
and
from
the
daunger
of
the
shotte
.
Then
the
Townesmen
fraughte
their
cockes
with
drie
wood
and
such
like
stuffe
,
and
pursued
the
said
engines
,
and
so
soone
as
they
were
come
neere
,
they
cast
fire
into
the
shippes
.
Notwithstanding
they
were
enforced
to
retire
,
both
bycause
of
the
rampier
before
mencioned
,
which
swamme
aboue
the
water
,
&
also
by
reason
of
the
shot
wherewith
they
were
by
the
enimie
galde
.
But
when
they
see
they
could
do
no
good
,
some
quenched
the
fire
of
the
boates
wherein
they
were
,
and
then
returned
into
the
Port
,
and
the
rest
which
coulde
not
,
let
all
burne
and
leapt
into
the
Sea
,
and
by
swimming
saued
them selues
.
The
next
day
in
the
morning
Demetre
by
Sea
a
freshe
assaulted
the
Porte
,
and
at
one
instant
with
as
great
noise
of
men
and
Trumpettes
as
was
possible
,
attempted
the
walles
of
the
towne
round
about
,
thinking
thereby
so
to
affray
the
townesmen
(
being
on
euery
side
assaulted
)
that
they
woulde
leaue
defending
of
the
curten
and
come
to
some
treaty
,
who
for
their
partes
ment
nothing
lesse
,
but
valiauntly
susteyned
all
the
atteintes
&
assaults
that
were
giuen
,
during
viij
.
dayes
.
When
Demetre
see
he
coulde
not
daunte
the
courages
of
the
defendaunts
,
he
caused
to
be
planted
vpon
the
toppe
of
their
Bulwarke
whiche
he
had
wonne
about
the
great
Port
,
his
greatest
artillarie
,
which
shot
stones
as
waightie
as
three
Talents
,
wherwith
he
flanked
and
battred
the
curten
betwene
the
Towers
,
and
the
Towers
also
.
During
this
broyle
certen
of
Demetre
his
Souldiours
had
wonne
the
toppe
of
the
Wal
right
ouer
the
Porte
:
but
the
Rhodians
in
suche
numbre
came
thyther
,
that
they
slewe
very
many
of
them
,
and
stoutely
repulsed
the
reste
.
For
they
were
but
a
fewe
men
,
and
the
place
for
the
Rhodians
of
such
aduauntage
,
bycause
it
was
stéepe
and
hard
to
mount
vnto
,
that
they
so
oppressed
the
Demetrians
with
stones
,
whiche
were
cast
downe
vppon
them
,
and
so
gald
them
with
shot
oute
of
the
houses
standing
neere
the
Wall
,
that
the
Marryners
(
who
brought
the
assaillaunts
)
were
enforced
to
runne
on
ground
their
shippes
,
and
retire
to
the
Souldiours
on
land
,
whereupon
incontinent
the
townesmen
sallied
out
,
tooke
and
carried
away
al
such
ornaments
as
they
found
in
the
poupes
of
the
shippes
,
and
after
sette
them
all
on
fire
.
Amongs
this
entrefactes
Demetre
hys
Souldiours
sailed
about
the
towne
and
set
vp
ladders
all
alongest
the
sea
side
,
and
violently
assailed
them
,
and
the
Souldiours
on
land
did
the
like
,
so
that
there
were
many
which
without
feare
aduentured
maruelous
daungers
and
sealed
the
very
toppes
of
the
walles
.
Ageyne
,
the
defendaunts
so
maruelously
aduaunced
them selues
,
and
so
stoutlie
defended
,
that
they
slewe
many
whiche
were
gotten
vp
,
and
hurt
a
great
numbre
,
whome
they
tooke
prisoners
,
amongs
which
were
certen
of
the
principallest
Captaynes
and
honorablest
personages
of
the
Campe
.
After
this
assaulte
and
slaughter
,
Demetre
ritired
his
owne
shippes
into
the
road
where
the
rest
laye
,
and
his
engines
of
batterie
,
which
at
the
two
assaultes
were
sore
broused
and
torne
and
newe
trymmed
and
amended
them
.
When
the
Rhodians
hadde
thus
repulsed
the
enimie
,
they
enterred
the
bodies
of
their
people
and
sacrifised
to
the
Goddes
the
armours
and
beakes
of
the
enimies
shippes
,
and
for
the
space
of
.vij.
dayes
in
al
corners
repaired
their
Walles
sore
battered
and
broken
downe
.
During
which
tyme
Demetre
newe
built
and
ageyne
trimmed
his
engines
.
When
Demetre
hadde
the
vij
.
daye
set
in
good
order
all
hys
whole
businesse
a
fresh
to
assault
it
,
he
came
directly
with
hys
shippes
well
furnished
against
the
hauen
,
for
to
winne
it
was
hys
onely
studie
,
bycause
he
would
cut
them
from
victualles
.
And
when
he
was
with
in
an
arrow
shot
approched
the
Port
,
he
beganne
violently
to
set
vppon
the
Rhodian
shippes
with
fire
brandes
and
other
fire
workes
,
wherof
he
had
plentie
,
and
with
long
bowes
and
crosbowes
slewe
many
which
manned
and
defended
the
curten
,
and
with
his
great
artillary
sore
battered
and
shaked
the
Walles
.
Neuerthelesse
,
the
Rhodians
in
this
fight
tooke
suche
paynes
to
defend
their
shippes
,
that
they
clerely
extinguished
the
fire
.
And
the
Captaynes
and
Chief
of
the
towne
fearing
the
winning
of
the
Porte
and
Citie
,
exhorted
all
the
lustiest
Souldiours
,
at
that
pinche
stoutly
to
stand
to
it
or
else
neuer
,
which
thing
they
spéedely
did
.
And
amongs
other
things
they
enbarqued
in
thrée
of
their
tallest
shippes
the
most
hardy
and
valiaunt
men
they
had
,
commaunding
them
with
all
their
force
to
borde
with
their
beakes
or
Gallie
noses
on
the
enemie
which
bare
the
engines
of
battery
,
and
drowne
them
,
who
(
notwithstanding
al
the
shot
which
came
against
them
)
so
violently
ranne
vpon
the
enimie
,
that
they
first
brake
the
rampier
whiche
swamme
vppon
the
water
before
the
shippes
,
and
after
so
lustely
borded
them
which
carried
the
engines
,
that
the
water
broke
in
on
euerie
side
and
drowned
two
of
the
greatest
engines
.
Neuerthelesse
the
third
was
by
the
Gallies
haled
out
and
carried
back
.
When
the
Rhodians
sée
al
things
prosper
thus
wel
,
they
waxed
so
proude
and
bold
,
that
néedes
they
woulde
pursue
the
third
engine
amiddest
the
enimie
:
wherfore
they
were
so
surprised
,
assailed
and
ouerthrowen
,
by
reason
of
the
numbre
of
the
enimies
shippes
:
that
Exaceste
Chieftayne
of
the
band
,
Exaceste
.
and
Captayn
of
one
of
the
Gallies
,
was
very
sore
hurte
,
and
in
the
end
taken
&
a
great
number
of
the
reste
leapt
into
the
Sea
and
so
were
saued
:
and
of
thrée
Gallies
the
one
taken
,
and
the
other
two
escaped
.
After
this
assaulte
Demetre
made
an
other
engine
of
battery
thrice
so
great
as
the
firste
:
but
as
he
was
sayling
towards
the
Port
,
there
arose
such
a
wind
,
that
the
shippes
and
engine
were
all
drowned
.
When
the
Rhodians
see
such
opportunitie
,
they
salied
out
of
the
Towne
and
assailed
the
Bulwarke
aboute
the
Porte
,
which
a
while
was
manfully
defended
.
But
when
they
sée
their
ayde
taken
and
cut
of
from
them
by
reason
of
the
tempest
,
and
the
Rhodians
continually
relieued
with
fresh
men
,
so
oppresse
them
,
that
they
were
forced
to
yeld
,
being
within
aboue
foure
hundred
Souldiours
.
After
this
victorie

Demetre
besieging
the
Rhodes
both
by
sea
and
land
,
and
seeing
al
he
did
at
sea
auailed
him
nothing
,
determined
with
all
hys
power
wholy
to
besiege
it
by
land
.
Whereupon
amongs
other
artillarie
for
battery
,
he
buylt
the
engine
Helepolis
before
mencioned
,
and
of
suche
hugenesse
,
that
the
like
before
had
neuer
ben
séene
.
The
foundation
thereof
was
foure
square
,
eche
waye
.
L.
cubits
long
,
made
of
great
square
pieces
of
timber
,
armed
and
bound
with
yron
,
in
the
middest
were
great
beames
layed
ouer
,
a
cubit
betwene
eche
,
to
set
in
men
which
shoulde
thrust
and
runne
the
engine
against
a
wall
.
It
ran
vpon
.viij.
great
and
massiue
wheles
,
whose
axeltrées
were
two
cubits
about
,
armed
with
mightie
yron
cloutes
:
and
to
turne
it
about
,
were
fine
and
subtil
engines
made
to
remoue
it
whether
they
woulde
or
listed
.
At
the
foure
corners
were
foure
great
pillers
of
wood
,
armed
and
bound
with
yron
,
eche
of
them
an
hundred
cubits
hie
,
so
leaning
and
bending
one
to
an
other
,
that
the
whole
building
,
hauing
in
it
.ix.
stories
or
sellers
,
the
lowermost
had
.lx.
beddes
,
and
the
vppermost
but
.ix.
And
for
defence
of
the
engine
against
fire
and
other
shot
,
it
was
before
and
on
both
the
sides
armed
with
thicke
yron
plates
nailed
to
with
great
yron
nayles
.
In
the
front
of
the
stories
were
windowes
,
out
of
which
they
might
lay
out
and
shotte
any
kinde
of
artillary
that
was
within
.
To
euery
window
was
a
couer
which
opened
and
shut
by
cunning
and
arte
as
occasion
serued
,
for
suertie
of
the
enginers
,
made
of
cowe
hides
farsed
with
wolle
to
breake
the
blow
and
dint
of
shot
.
In
euery
storie
also
were
two
broad
ladders
:
the
one
to
go
vp
on
for
carrying
of
such
things
as
were
néedeful
,
and
the
other
to
come
downe
on
,
to
the
ende
one
should
not
hinder
and
let
another
.
When
the
engine
was
throughlie
finished
,
they
chose
out
thrée
thousand
and
foure
hundred
of
the
mightiest
and
strongest
men
in
the
armie
,
to
moue
and
dryue
it
:
whereof
some
were
thrust
in
,
and
the
rest
stood
withoute
at
the
bréeche
with
cables
&
other
things
made
for
the
purpose
meete
to
runne
it
forward
.
He
also
built
Tortoises
and
couers
to
defend
the
other
engines
of
artillary
as
rammes
and
such
like
.
He
forced
and
cast
a
trenche
also
couered
ouer
,
wherein
men
might
go
and
come
in
safetie
from
the
place
where
the
engines
stood
,
to
the
place
they
should
be
brought
.
He
made
hys
Marryners
and
Gallie
sclaues
likewise
to
smoothe
and
playne
the
ground
where
the
engines
should
be
drawen
&
brought
on
,
being
about
foure
furlongs
broad
,
whiche
is
halfe
a
myle
Englishe
:
ouer
against
whiche
place
of
ground
in
the
wal
of
the
Towne
stood
.vij.
great
towers
or
Bulwarks
,
and
sixe
little
Turrets
,
against
which
he
planted
his
engines
.
And
althoughe
the
workemanship
was
maruelous
,
and
suche
that
in
long
tyme
it
was
thought
impossible
to
finish
and
end
,
yet
had
he
quickly
atchieued
and
brought
it
to
passe
,
by
reason
of
the
great
store
of
workemen
he
had
of
all
sortes
,
being
.xxx.
thousand
or
more
:
all
which
things
in
the
sight
of
the
Citizens
were
very
terrible
.
For
besides
the
great
multitude
of
engines
and
numbre
of
men
which
they
sée
,
they
considered
the
diligence
and
violence
of
Demetre
,
and
his
industrie
in
the
making
of
engines
of
battery
,
being
of
him selfe
able
to
deuise
more
than
the
Masters
of
the
mistery
and
occupacion
had
eyther

or

The
description
and
commendation
of
Demetre
.
By
reason
whereof
they
named
him
Poliorcete
,
which
is
in
the
Greke
tong
,
a
besieger
and
ouerthrower
of
cities
.
He
was
amongs
all
in
that
reputation
,
and
thought
to
be
such
a
one
,
that
there
was
not
so
strong
a
wall
in
the
world
able
to
stand
against
him
and
his
engines
.
He
was
of
personage
and
stature
tall
,
and
thereto
well
proporcioned
&
made
,
so
that
he
séemed
a
stout
and
noble
Champion
:
he
had
besides
so
good
a
grace
,
so
gentle
and
curteous
enterteynement
,
that
all
straungers
which
came
where
he
was
,
séeing
his
comlinesse
of
body
,
his
grace
,
maiestie
and
royall
attire
,
did
thereat
much
maruell
,
and
would
followe
hym
for
the
pleasure
they
had
to
behold
him
.
Besides
hys
comely
stature
,
gesture
&
beautie
,
he
was
of
that
magnanimitie
&
haultie
courage
,
that
as
he
made
little
estimate
of
the
meaner
sorte
of
people
,
euen
so
also
made
he
small
accompte
of
the
Princes
of
warre
&
Potentates
.
In
tyme
of
peace
his
propertie
was
to
be
very
familiar
with
his
Souldiours
,
to
banquet
them
ofte
,
and
many
times
play
with
them
,
which
bred
him
great
fauoure
and
loue
.
To
be
short
he
forced
to
follow
in
all
pointes
the
manners
and
conditions
of
Dionise
,
accordingly
as
is
of
him
written
,
&
in
the
warres
he
was
so
ware
and
painful
,
that
there
was
not
one
within
hys
campe
who
lesse
rested
in
bodye
or
spirit
,
so
that
vnder
his
conduct
were
made
the
greatest
engines
of
artillary
and
greatest
shotte
that
euer
were
séene
or
heard
.
He
hadde
also
at
Sea
the
most
huge
and
mightie
shippes
after
that
siege
and
after
hys
Fathers
death
,
that
euer
were
built
or
séene
.
When
the
Rhodians
sée
the
great
furniture
and
preparation
that
he
made
to
come
against
them
,
they
buylt
and
set
vp
within
the
vttermost
wall
for
their
defence
,
a
countermure
of
stone
,
least
the
first
Wall
should
be
sore
battered
and
shaken
.
For
performaunce
wherof
,
to
haue
store
of
stone
,
they
pulled
downe
the
wall
whiche
encompassed
the
Theatre
,
and
many
houses
ioyning
thereto
:
besides
certen
temples
,
vowing
(
to
the
Gods
in
whose
honour
they
were
built
and
consecrated
)
that
they
would
build
and
set
vp
muche
beautifuller
Temples
,
if
they
escaped
that
siege
.
They
armed
moreouer
.ix.
tall
shippes
,
and
sent
them
out
of
the
Porte
,
eyther
to
sinke
or
bring
in
so
many
of
the
enimies
as
they
encountred
,
that
they
might
be
Masters
of
the
Sea
,
whiche
shippes
were
into
thrée
partes
deuided
:
whereof
the
thrée
called
the
Scoult
,
Demophile
.
Demophile
had
charge
and
sayled
directly
to
the
Isle
Carpathe
,
Carpathe
.
where
they
founde
a
great
many
sailes
of
the
enemie
,
some
of
which
after
long
fight
they
sonke
,
and
brought
away
the
rest
to
the
Port
of
Rhodes
,
and
after
set
them
on
fire
.
But
a
great
numbre
of
the
chief
and
principall
Souldiours
and
Marryners
whiche
were
in
them●
that
went
to
robbe
and
spoyle
the
fruictes
and
commodities
of
the
Isle
,
they
kept
still
in
prison
.
Menedore
Captayne
of
other
three
,
Menedore
.
sailed
towardes
the
Countrey
of
Lycie
,
Patare
.
and
finding
in
the
Porte
of
Patare
a
great
ship
vnmanned
,
laden
with
victualles
,
for
that
the
Marriners
were
gone
on
land
,
he
burnt
it
in
their
sight
,
and
tooke
besides
many
other
smal
Barques
laden
with
victualles
,
which
he
sent
to
the
Rhodes
:
he
tooke
a
Gallie
also
coming
out
of
Cilice
,
in
which
amongs
other
things
was
found
much
royall
,
riche
and
precious
attire
,
that
Phile
,
Demetre
his
wife
,
had
sent
to
hir
husband
,
which
apparel
he
sent
into
Egipt
to
King
Ptolome
,
Phile.
and
brought
the
Gallie
into
the
Porte
of
the
Rhodes
,
and
ransomed
all
the
men
both
in
that
and
in
the
rest
.
The
third
Captayne
named
Amynthe
,
Aminthe
.
who
hadde
charge
of
the
reste
,
throughe
long
sayling
,
fortuned
to
descrye
a
numbre
of
Barques
laden
with
wood
and
suche
like
stuffe
to
make
engines
,
kéeping
their
course
towards
the
camp
,
whom
he
had
in
chase
,
some
of
which
he
sonke
and
brought
the
rest
home
to
Rhodes
,
hauing
a
great
numbre
of
prisoners
,
amongs
whome
were
.xj.
of
Demetre
hys
moste
excellent
enginers
.
Betwene
these
doings
the
gouernours
of
the
Towne
beganne
to
animate
the
commoners
to
throwe
downe
the
Images
of
Antigone
and
Demetre
,
which
they
had
set
vp
before
the
warres
in
their
honor
,
saying
it
were
no
reason
that
they
which
held
them
besieged
as
enemies
,
should
stande
amongs
their
friendes
and
benefactours
.
Notwithstanding
the
people
woulde
not
consent
thereto
,
but
sharplie
rebuked
those
whiche
vrged
and
put
forward
the
matter
.
And
surely
the
people
aswell
for
the
honour
of
the
citie
,
as
for
the
profit
&
commoditie
therof
,
had
therein
great
reason
.
Which
constancy
of
the
Rhodians
got
not
onely
great
commendacion
and
honor
amongs
al
their
neighbours
&
friends
,
but
also
amongs
all
forreners
&
strangers
which
knew
it
.
Agayne
,
the
assaylaunts
seeing
their
●
ranchise
&
bountie
,
repented
that
euer
they
came
against
them
:
considering
they
had
restored
to
libertie
all
the
other
Cities
of
Grece
,
who
neuer
had
shewed
any
signe
or
token
of
beneuolence
or
gratitude
towardes
them
.
And
that
Citie
which
by
experience
had
manifested
so
great
acknowledging
of
good
wil
and
bountie
,
they
went
about
vtterly
to
subuerte
and
bring
to
ruyne
.
Which
thing
if
it
had
ben
well
and
iustlie
considered
,
was
a
good
occasion
for
them
to
haue
deliuered
the
Rhodians
from
the
great
daunger
they
were
in
.
And
besides
,
if
peraduenture
the
citie
hadde
ben
taken
,
they
might
well
haue
aunswered
no
breach
of
peace
in
them
,
bycause
they
had
alwayes
desired
to
haue
continued
amitie
and
friendship
with
Demetre
his
father
,
which
of
the
Rhodians
was
very
wisely
and
circumspectly
considered
.
But
when
they
were
aduertized
by
one
who
fled
from
the
campe
,
that
Demetre
had
with
his
Myoners
vndermyned
one
corner
of
the
wall
,
they
digged
a
very
déepe
trenche
and
countermyned
the
enimie
,
so
that
they
could
no
farther
passe
,
but
euery
of
them
at
the
entry
and
mouthes
of
the
mynes
kept
diligent
watche
.
And
as
Demetre
was
thus
vndermyning
to
ouerthrow
the
curten
,
certen
of
the
Demetrians
had
practized
to
corrupt
Anathagore
of
Mylete
,
sent
thyther
by
Ptolome
,
with
the
charge
of
shippes
as
generall
to
the
Mylesians
,
that
he
would
suffer
Demetre
to
enter
the
Citie
by
the
mynes
,
wherunto
Anathagore
accorded
.
Anathagore
.
So
there
was
a
day
taken
betwene
them
,
when
Demetre
should
send
one
of
his
chief
Captaynes
,
whome
he
promised
to
thrust
into
the
town
by
the
mynes
,
that
he
might
sée
how
to
bring
in
the
rest
of
the
Souldiours
withoute
.
But
after
they
were
agréed
vpon
the
practize
wherein
Demetre
had
great
hope
,
the
Mylesian
reueled
the
matter
to
the
Senate
.
Notwithstanding
at
the
day
prefixed
and
assigned
,
Demetre
sent
one
of
the
friendes
and
domesticals
of
the
King
of
Macedone
,
named
Alexander
,
to
the
said
myne
,
whome
the
townes
men
incontinent
tooke
prisoner
,
and
after
crowned
Anathagore
with
a
Crowne
of
golde
,
and
rewarded
hym
with
fiue
hundred
Talents
of
siluer
,
to
the
ende
to
gyue
greater
encouragement
to
the
other
Mercenaries
and
straungers
within
the
Town
,
iustly
and
truly
to
serue
in
the
said
siege
.
When
Demetre
see
he
could
thereby
nothing
preuayle
,
and
hauing
finished
and
made
readie
all
hys
engines
,
and
playned
the
waye
wherein
they
should
be
drawen
,
he
planted
in
the
middest
the
great
Helepolis
,
and
the
.viij.
Tortoises
without
rammes
,
he
planted
on
eche
side
the
Helepolis
foure
,
wel
couered
and
porched
,
and
the
wayes
couered
from
one
to
another
like
porches
,
so
that
men
without
daunger
might
passe
to
and
fro
.
Ouer
and
besides
these
engines
he
hadde
two
other
rammes
of
wood
,
of
a
maruelous
greatnesse
,
which
were
brought
thyther
,
eche
of
them
sixe
score
féete
long
,
and
the
beaks
or
points
armed
with
yron
like
vnto
the
Gallie
nose
,
so
that
there
could
not
be
fewer
than
a
thousande
men
to
driue
and
runne
them
against
a
wall
,
albeit
to
conducte
and
bring
them
fewer
would
serue
,
bycause
they
went
vpon
wheles
.
When
he
had
brought
his
engines
néere
the
Wall
,
and
had
appointed
in
euery
storie
of
the
Helepolis
,
such
number
of
shot
of
all
sortes
as
hym
thought
good
.
He
sent
to
the
porte
and
to
his
men
about
the
Sea
and
all
other
quarters
of
the
towne
,
commaunding
them
to
approche
and
seale
the
wall
:
And
forthwith
marched
on
with
the
footemen
to
gyue
the
attempt
and
assaulte
,
so
that
in
one
moment
the
towne
in
euery
corner
was
assayled
,
and
the
walles
with
great
engines
of
artillary
battered
,
and
they
whiche
manned
the
curtens
were
with
quarrelles
&
stones
sore
hurt
:
But
to
sée
how
the
Rhodians
defended
was
wonder
.
While
these
matters
were
at
this
point
,
and
that
the
assault
had
long
tyme
continued
,
the
Ambassadours
of
the
Guidians
came
to
entreat
Demetre
for
their
Citie
to
leaue
of
and
raise
hys
siege
,
promising
to
persuade
the
Rhodians
to
performe
hys
demaundes
which
with
reason
might
be
graunted
,
whervnto
he
gladly
agreed
.
But
after
the
assault
ceased
,
and
that
the
Ambassadours
had
long
gone
aboute
all
partes
of
the
curten
,
debating
with
them
to
and
fro
to
yeld
and
to
consider
the
daunger
they
were
in
,
the
King
séeing
yt
impossible
to
persuade
them
,
gaue
a
freshe
assaulte
more
fierce
and
terrible
than
the
first
,
and
with
his
Artillary
so
beate
them
,
that
he
battered
and
ouerthrewe
a
great
square
Tower
of
stone
and
the
wall
it
stoode
on
all
to
pouder
,
so
that
the
Souldiours
of
the
towne
could
not
that
waye
passe
to
go
to
their
other
towers
and
defenses
.
Notwithstanding
the
Attemptaunts
(
throughe
the
wonderfull
and
valiaunt
defence
of
the
Citizens
)
could
not
all
that
daye
enter
the
Town
.
In
this
meane
while
arriued
at
the
Hauen
a
great
number
of
barques
laden
with
corne
and
great
plenty
of
other
victuals
,
by
King
Ptolome
sent
out
of
Egipt
,
who
with
a
prosperous
wind
,
sayled
a
maine
vnder
all
sayles
,
and
entred
the
Hauen
maugre
all
Demetre
his
Nauie
,
who
did
al
that
in
them
laye
to
barre
them
the
Porte
.
And
as
it
were
al
at
one
time
,
certen
other
shippes
laden
with
victualles
sent
from
Cassander
and
Lysimache
,
arriued
.
Whereupon
the
Citizens
which
before
were
in
great
feare
and
necessitie
,
tooke
now
such
courage
,
that
they
wholie
determined
to
sallie
oute
on
the
enimie
and
set
on
fire
their
engines
.
And
thereuppon
they
made
great
prouision
of
drie
wood
and
such
other
stuffe
for
fire
workes
:
&
when
they
had
appointed
all
their
shot
to
that
side
on
the
wall
where
the
engines
were
planted
,
they
which
were
put
out
of
the
Town
began
about
midnight
al
at
one
throw
to
cast
fire
in
diuerse
sorte
against
the
engines
and
their
garders
;
and
the
Souldiours
from
the
curten
so
lustely
applied
them
with
shotte
,
which
came
to
the
rescous
,
that
the
whole
armie
was
in
maruelous
terrour
,
as
of
a
thing
not
precogitated
or
thought
on
.
But
the
Demetrians
fearing
the
burning
and
spoyle
of
all
their
Engines
,
fiersly
ranne
to
their
rescue
,
and
by
reason
of
the
darknesse
of
the
night
,
the
fire
carriers
being
alwayes
in
sighte
,
were
very
sore
hurte
and
stryken
downe
,
bycause
they
could
not
in
the
darke
auoyde
the
shot
which
came
on
them
.
Neuerthelesse
,
after
the
Rhodians
hadde
once
perceyued
that
the
plates
of
yron
wherewith
the
great
Helepolis
was
armed
were
fallen
of
,
they
then
in
all
they
might
,
cast
fire
aboute
the
bare
&
naked
places
.
But
they
within
diligently
quenched
the
fire
with
water
which
they
had
for
the
purpose
made
readie
.
Howebeit
when
Demetre
sée
the
fire
stil
encrease
,
&
fearing
the
consummation
of
all
his
engines
,
he
caused
them
at
the
sound
of
the
Trumpette
to
be
drawen
awaye
by
those
who
had
the
charge
.
The
nexte
daye
in
the
morning
he
commaunded
his
Souldiours
to
gather
togyther
all
the
shot
which
came
out
of
the
Towne
,
to
the
end
he
would
haue
a
gesse
what
furniture
they
hadde
within
,
whiche
thing
was
spéedely
done
:
and
by
the
reporte
that
was
made
,
they
coniectured
to
be
within
,
engines
of
artillary
,
for
fire
workes
,
aboue
.viij.
hundred
of
diuerse
bignesse
:
and
of
other
artillary
as
crosbowes
and
such
like
,
aboue
a
thousand
.
Wherefore
when
he
hadde
séene
such
plenty
of
shot
in
so
short
tyme
,
in
one
night
,
he
greatly
wondred
at
the
maruelous
wealth
and
dispence
of
the
Citie
,
and
yet
he
more
wondered
at
their
furniture
.
Neuerthelesse
,
after
he
had
taken
order
for
the
burying
of
the
dead
and
healing
of
the
hurt
men
,
he
then
repaired
and
amended
his
engines
of
artillary
.
During
which
time
the
Citizens
being
at
reaste
and
without
daunger
of
battery
,
made
a
crosse
wall
within
the
Town
,
enuironning
all
that
part
of
the
wall
which
was
in
daunger
,
and
besides
cast
a
déepe
trenche
at
the
corner
of
the
Wall
whiche
was
beaten
downe
,
to
staye
the
King
,
that
he
should
not
by
any
great
or
impetuous
force
entre
the
Citie
by
assault
.
They
sent
oute
also
secretly
Amynthe
with
a
number
of
their
fittest
saylers
,
who
before
anie
thing
was
perceyued
,
had
gotten
the
coast
of
Asie
,
right
ouer
against
the
Isle
where
Demetre
had
thrée
tall
and
mightie
shippes
,
whiche
the
Pirates
had
brought
in
the
ayde
of
the
King
,
whom
he
there
borded
,
and
after
a
whiles
fight
,
tooke
them
and
all
that
were
a
borde
,
amongs
whome
he
had
Thimocles
Prince
of

He
tooke
besides
these
,
many
other
small
Barques
laden
with
victualles
,
comming
towardes
the
camp
,
all
which
he
brought
by
night
into
the
Rhodes
withoute
knowledge
of
the
enimie
.
Soone
after
that
Demetre
had
repared
and
amended
his
engines
of
battery
,
he
ageyne
brought
them
as
neere
the
wal
as
was
possible
,
and
with
great
force
of
shot
,
repul●ed
all
that
stoode
to
the
defence
and
towers
of
the
curten
,
and
with
his
rammes
&
other
engines
of
battery
,
so
sharpely
battered
them
,
that
he
threw
downe
two
Turrets
.
Howbeit
,
the
Souldiours
of
the
Tower
or
Bulwarke
that
stood
betwene
the
two
Turrets
,
defended
it
so
valiauntlie
,
that
it
was
nothing
shaken

Amongs
these
enterfacts
Ptolome
had

sent

laden
with
asmuch

and

things
as

with
a

vnder

Macedonian

.
In
this
meane
while
arriued
before
Demetre
aboue
.
L.
Ambassadours
sent
by
the
Athenians
and
other
cities
of
Grece
,
desiring
him
to
conclude
an
inuiolable
peace
with
the
Rhodians
and
rayse
hys
siege
,
whereunto
he
agréed
,
and
for
certen
dayes
the
Ambassadours
and
diuerse
other
messengers
were
sent
on
all
handes
to
treat
a
peace
,
but
in
the
ende
they
agreed
not
,
so
that
the
Ambassadoures
returned
withoute
conclusion
.
After
their
departure
he
by
treason
determined
to
wynne
the
Citie
,
and
by
night
to
thrust
in
his
Souldiours
at
the
great
breach
.
And
thereuppon
he
chose
oute
a
thousand
of
his
valiauntest
and
best
trayned
Souldiours
,
commaunding
them
about
midnight
,
faire
and
easely
without
noyse
,
to
approche
the
Wall
on
that
side
:
&
the
rest
he
arranged
in
order
of
battail
,
and
at
that
very
instant
with
so
great
noyse
as
might
be
,
gaue
an
assault
round
about
the
town
,
both
by
sea
and
land
.
And
incontinent
they
whiche
were
charged
to
enter
the
breache
,
violently
rushed
in
,
and
slew
the
watche
whiche
garded
the
trenche
,
so
that
they
entred
the
towne
,
and
ment
to
winne
the
Bulwarkes
and
Bastils
standing
about
the
Theatre
.
When
the
gouernours
of
the
Rhodians
vnderstood
the
case
,
and
seeing
al
the
Citie
in
great
terror
and
maruelous
feare
,
they
commaunded
them
whiche
manned
the
Port
and
Walles
,
not
once
to
remoue
from
their
charge
,
but
valiauntly
stand
to
the
defence
thereof
,
and
they
with
a
numbre
of
pycked
men
and
trayned
Souldiours
,
and
those
newly
come
out
of
Egipt
,
went
against
the
enimie
that
had
entred
the
breache
:
but
during
the
night
,
no
great
exploite
was
done
.
Aboute
the
dawning
Demetre
gaue
a
signe
as
well
to
those
Souldiours
which
assayled
the
Porte
,
as
to
all
the
rest
,
at
one
present
to
make
a
great
showte
and
noise
,
to
encourage
them
whiche
were
entred
and
hadde
wonne
the
Bulwarkes
and
Bastils
about
the
Theatre
.
When
the
shoute
and
noyse
was
heard
,
women
,
children
,
and
all
the
weake
companie
beganne
to
crie
,
howle
and
wéepe
,
as
if
the
citie
presentlie
had
ben
taken
.
But
the
lustie
and
couragious
Souldiours
,
valiauntlie
assailed
the
enimie
entred
,
who
verie
long
right
stoutlie
defended
,
so
that
on
eche
side
were
a
great
number
slayn
.
But
in
the
end
,
the
Townesmen
still
releued
aswell
with
freshe
men
as
also
men
of
valiaunt
and
lusty
courages
:
for
that
it
then
stood
vpon
the
hazard
of
the
losse
of
them
and
their
Citie
,
and
contrariwise
the
force
of
the
enimie
decreasing
,
they
so
stoutly
after
charged
the
Demetrians
,
that
they
slewe
in
honorable
fight
Alcime
and
Mancie
the
two
Captaynes
of
those
bandes
,
Alcime
.
Mancie
.
and
the
greater
number
of
their
Souldiours
,
the
rest
they
tooke
prisoners
,
except
a
fewe
which
fled
that
waye
they
entred
,
and
returned
to
Demetre
.
Notwithstanding
a
great
number
of
the
Citizens
were
slayne
,
amongs
whome
was
Prytame
of
Demotele
,
Pritame
.
a
man
greatly
renowmed
for
his
valiaunce
and
martiall
pollicies
.
After
this
assaulte
,
Demetre
yet
had
a
greater
affiaunce
and
hope
to
take
it
than
before
.
Wherefore
he
agayne
furnished
him
to
gyue
a
fresh
assault
.
But
in
the
meane
while
he
receyued
letters
from
his
father
,
which
willed
him
to
conclude
with
the
Rhodians
so
honorable
a
peace
as
he
could
.
Wherefore
he
attended
and
espied
some
occasion
to
come
to
an
honest
composition
&
agreement
with
them
.
Ageyne
Ptolome
had
addressed
his
letters
to
the
Citizens
,
letting
them
to
wete
,
that
he
woulde
send
a
new
supplie
of
thrée
thousand
men
,
notwithstanding
counsayling
them
that
if
they
might
come
to
anie
gracious
and
fauourable
composition
,
not
to
refuse
it
.
Which
letters
séene
and
read
,
they
all
were
enclined
to
peace
.
It
happened
the
selfe
same
tyme
that
the
Etholians
had
sent
their
Ambassadoures
to
Demetre
,
to
entreat
a
peace
:
who
after
many
entercourses
betwene
one
an
other
,
a
finall
peace
was
there
concluded
as
foloweth
.
The
conclusion
of
the
peace
.
First
,
that
the
Rhodians
should
be
at
libertie
,
and
liue
after
their
old
accustomed
manner
,
and
not
to
be
enforced
to
take
in
or
keepe
any
garrison
.
Also
that
they
should
continue
and
remayne
friendes
and
Allies
with
Antigone
,
with
all
,
and
against
all
,
except
Ptolome
.
Item
,
for
assuraunce
and
confirmation
thereof
,
they
should
deliuer
an
hundred
ostages
,
such
as
Demetre
would
chose
out
,
except
and
alwayes
reserued
the
officers
.
In
this
sorte
the
Rhodians
after
they
hadde
susteyned
and
abidden
one
whole
yeares
siege
,
were
deliuered
.
And
so
many
as
bare
them
in
that
siege
valiauntly
and
manfully
,
were
continually
euer
after
highly
honoured
and
largely
remunerated
with
manie
great
giftes
.
And
all
the
sclaues
who
hadde
well
serued
,
were
bought
of
their
Lords
,
set
at
libertie
,
enfranchised
and
made
Citizens
.
They
caused
also
in
their
Theatre
the
Images
of
Cassander
and
Lysimache
,
to
be
enstalled
,
and
diuerse
other
of
lesse
honour
and
dignitie
,
who
had
them
in
that
siege
ayded
.
And
bycause
they
woulde
honour
Ptolome
more
than
all
the
reste
,
they
sent
into
Lybie
to
the
God
Hammon
,
to
enquire
if
it
were
lauful
for
them
to
honor
the
said
Ptolome
as
a
God
.
And
when
they
had
aunswer
from
the
Oracle
,
that
they
might
not
,
they
buylt
and
set
vp
a
Temple
in
hys
honor
within
the
Citie
,
foure
square
like
a
Cloistre
,
a
furlong
eche
waye
,
which
they
called
the
Temple
of
Ptolome
.
They
likewise
repared
their
Theatre
and
all
the
places
of
the
Walles
beaten
downe
,
much
fairer
and
stronger
than
before
.
And
after
the
conclusion
of
the
peace
,
Demetre
with
his
whole
armie
tooke
shipping
,
and
following
hys
Fathers
commaundement
,
sayled
alongest
the
Isles
,
and
arriued
at
the
Porte
of
Aulide
,
Aulide
.
in
the
Countrey
of
Beoce
:
being
commaunded
to
deliuer
the
Cities
of
Grece
:
many
of
which
during
the
siege
,
were
by
Cassander
and
Polispercon
robbed
and
spoyled
.
And
at
his
first
arriuall
,
he
deliuered
the
Citie
of
Calcide
,
Calcide
.
by
the
Beotians
garrisoned
,
and
constrained
the
saide
Beotians
to
forsake
the
amitie
of
Cassander
,
and
after
alliaunced
with
the
Etholians
,
against
Polispercon
and
Cassander
,
and
vppon
them
arrered
warres
.
In
this
season
died

of

to

:
and
before
all
other
things
to
set
a
staye
about
the
affaires
of
the

Countrey
,
aswell
for
that
it
séemed
to
hym
good
in
doing
the
same
,
to
gette
great
glory
and
renowne
,
as
also
for
that
he
determined
to
discomfit
Cassanders
armie
in
Prepelaye
,
Prepelay●
.
&
after
to
go
with
hys
whole
power
against
the
saide
Cassander
.
And
firste
he
came
before
the
citie
of
Sicione
,
Sicione
.
the
deputie
wherof
was
a
noble
and
cheualrous
Captayne
of
Ptolomes
,
named
Phillip
,
who
being
by
night
sodenly
surprised
,
was
repulsed
and
enforced
with
all
his
Souldiours
to
retire
into
a
very
great
and
strong
Citadell
.
When
Demetre
hadde
thus
taken
the
towne
,
he
encamped
betwene
the
town
and
Citadell
,
and
planted
his
engines
of
battery
against
the
same
.
Wherfore
the
defendaunts
séeing
them
withoute
ayde
and
succoure
,
yelded
,
vppon
such
composition
as
they
might
,
and
so
from
thence
went
to
sea
and
sailed
into
Egipt
.
When
Demetre
had
wonne
the
Citadell
,
he
transferred
the
Citizens
thyther
,
&
razed
the
one
parte
of
the
citie
ioyning
to
the
Port
,
bicause
it
was
to
strong
:
so
he
holpe
the
Citizens
with
his
money
to
build
and
repaire
the
Citadell
,
and
therewith
restored
them
to
libertie
.
By
whiche
occasion
they
adiudged
hym
yearely
go●
ly
honors
,
to
wete
,
sacrifices
,
assembles
,
solempne
processions
and
combats
,
and
named
the
citie
Demetriade
,
and
did
him
many
other
honors
as
if
he
had
founded
the
citie
.
But
the
varietie
of
time
,
the
mutations
and
alterations
that
after
happen
,
make
all
things
vncertayne
and
voyde
.
For
the
Citizens
séeing
that
the
scituation
of
the
Citadell
(
whereunto
they
were
remoued
)
was
much
more
commodious
and
pleasaunt
to
enhabite
than
the
auncient
citie
,
kept
it
always
euer
after
,
euen
to
these
dayes
.
For
the
place
was
great
and
roumie
,
and
aboue
plaine
and
smoothe
,
but
round
about
so
knaggy
&
hanging
,
that
the
wayes
were
inaccessible
,
and
subiecte
on
no
side
to
battery
.
Therein
were
also
great
store
of
springs
and
fountaines
,
wherewith
they
watered
their
gardens
.
In
this
sorte
then
(
throughe
the
Kings
prouidence
)
they
were
in
great
suertie
and
in
a
very
pleasaunt
place
.
When
Demetre
had
set
in
good
staye
the
affaires
of
of
the
Sycionians
,
he
marched
with
his
whole
armie
against
the
Citie
of
Corinthe
,
whereof
Prepelaye
a
Captayne
of
Cassanders
was
deputie
.
And
at
his
firsts
comming
,
by
meane
of
the
intelligence
which
he
had
by
certen
of
the
Citizens
,
he
entred
the
Town
in
the
night
through
a
posterne
.
But
the
Souldiours
within
,
saued
them selues
in
two
fortes
standing
at
the
endes
of
the
Towne
:
the
one
of
which
was
named
Sysiphe
,
and
the
other
Acrocorinthe
.
Notwithstanding
he
throughe
great
payne
and
●
rauell
,
wanne
by
force
Sysiphe
,
and
by
composition
tooke
the
other
:
bycause
the
attemptes
and
assaultes
,
by
reason
o●
the
great
industrie
of
his
Engines
of
Artillary
,
and
his
maruelous
care
and
diligence
therin
vsed
,
where
intollerable
.
Whiche
done
,
and
that
he
had
set
the
citie
at
libertie
,
the
Citizens
were
well
contented
he
should
put
in
a
garrison
into
the
Bastill
of
Acrocorinthe
,
for
defence
of
their
Citie
,
and
there
to
kéepe
them
vntill
suche
tyme
as
he
had
descomfited
and
ouerthrowen
Cassander
.
And
after
Prepelaye
had
shamefully
ben
expulsed
Corinthe
,
he
tooke
his
waye
to
Cassander
.
When
Demetre
had
thus
wrought
against
Corinthe
,
he
departed
thence
,
pursuing
his
victorie
by
the
other
Cities
of
Peloponnese
,
where
by
force
he
tooke
Bute
,
and
restored
the
citizens
to
their
auncient
libertie
,
Bute
.
and
from
thence
went
to
Scyre
,
Scyre
.
and
there
did
the
like
,
and
expulsed
Cassanders
Souldiours
.
Then
went
he
against
the
Citie
of
Orcomenye
in
the
region
of
Arcadie
,
Orcomenie
.
and
there
talked
with
Strombicke
deputie
for
Polispercon
,
Strombicke
.
to
rendre
it
.
But
when
he
see
it
would
not
be
,
and
that
he
vsed
stoute
and
arrogaunt
wordes
,
he
planted
his
engines
,
and
battred
and
ouerthrew
the
walles
of
the
Citie
,
and
tooke
it
by
force
,
and
caused
the
said
Strombicke
and
.viij.
hundred
of
his
souldiours
to
be
carried
out
of
the
citie
as
vtter
enimies
,
and
there
to
be
hanged
:
and
waged
and
deuided
amongs
his
bandes
,
the
Mercenarie
Souldiours
,
being
about
two
thousand
.
After
he
had
thus
done
,
the
reste
which
held
the
cities
and
townes
néere
hand
,
hauing
no
newes
or
hope
to
be
succoured
by
Cassander
,
Prepelaye
,
nor
Polispercon
:
and
considering
that
the
King
was
so
stoared
with
engines
of
artillary
and
men
,
that
they
were
not
able
to
withstand
his
so
mightie
power
,

Chapter

WHile
the
Tarentines
warred
all
this
time
vppon
the
Lucaines
&
Romaines
in
Italy
,
they
sent
their
Ambassadoures
to
the
Lacedemonians
,
into
the
citie
of
Sparte
,
praying
them
,
that
they
would
send
them
Cleonime
to
be
their
Leader
and
Generall
,
Cleonyme
.
with
a
certen
numbre
of
men
:
which
thing
the
Lacedemonians
readely
graunted
them
.
And
shortly
after
Cleonyme
leuied
in
the
countrey
of
Laconie
,
about
.v.
thousand
men
,
with
whome
he
tooke
shipping
and
sailed
to
Tarent
,
and
arryuing
there
,
he
leuied
an
other
numbre
of
men
in
that
countrey
,
so
that
he
had
well
néere
about
.xx.
thousande
footemen
,
and
two
thousand
horse
,
amongs
which
were
many
Grekes
,
lying
then
in
Italy
.
Of
this
so
great
assemble
,
the
Lucaines
were
in
such
terror
,
that
they
grewe
to
an
agréement
with
the
Tarentines
.
Howbeit
,
the
Metapontines
forced
not
their
power
,
for
which
cause
Clonime
by
the
consent
of
the
Tarentines
,
sodenly
assailed
them
.
Wherewith
he
put
them
in
such
feare
,
that
they
suffred
him
vnder
the
colour
of
friendship
,
to
enter
the
citie
,
but
after
he
was
entred
,
he
exacted
of
them
aboue
sixe
hundred
Talents
,
and
tooke
two
hundred
of
the
beautifullest
maydes
within
the
Town
,
vnder
the
Title
&
name
of
ostages
:
but
trueth
was
,
it
was
to
saciate
his
lecherous
desire
and
beastlie
luste
,
so
as
in
that
and
also
in
diuerse
other
things
he
euidently
declared
hys
monstrous
and
abhominable
villanies
.
For
besides
that
,
he
lest
wearing
of
his
Grecian
apparell
,
and
apparelled
him
after
the
maner
of
the
most
lasciuious
and
effeminate
countrey
.
Ageyne
,
so
many
as
rendred
vppon
his
faith
&
promisse
,
to
be
assured
,
he
made
bond
.
And
in
déed
when
he
had
so
goodly
and
mightie
an
armie
,
he
did
nothing
worthie
and
beseaming
a
citizen
of
Sparte
.
He
also
tooke
on
hande
to
indict
warres
to
Agatocles
in
Sic●●
e
,
to
enlarge
his
tiranny●
and
to
restore
the
Sicilians
to
their
auncient
libertie
,
but
he
to
much
delayed
and
deserred
hys
sayde
enterprise
,
and
before
he
went
thyther
,
tooke
his
iorney
to
Corcyre
,
and
brought
the
citie
vnder
his
obeisaunce
,
of
which
he
leuied
a
great
summe
of
golde
and
siluer
&
garrisoned
it
,
meaning
to
kéepe
that
as
a
receptacle
or
refuge
,
whereby
he
might
alwayes
be
at

,
to

&

And
during
the
time
of

Ambassadoures
of
Demetre
,
and
after
the
Ambassadours
of
Cassander
came
to
him
,
eche
of
them
praying
his
alliaunce
.
Howbeit
,
he
would
not
graunt

but
being
aduertised
that
the
Tarentines
and
their
neighboures
rebelled

Corcyre
,
&
with
the
reste
tooke
shipping
and
sailed
with
all
spéede
into
Italy
,
to
the
ende
to
be
reuenged
of

So

After

The

Chapter
.
THe
yéere
following
that
Nycocles
gouerned
Athens
,
and
Marke
Liuie
and
Marke
Elye
were
at
Rome
created
Consuls
,
Cassander
King
of
Macedone
,
séeing
the
countrey
of
Grece
waxe
strong
,
and
doubting
that
al
the
warre
in
the
end
would
be
transferred
against
the
countrey
of
Macedone
,
he
was
thereof
so
carefull
,
that
he
sent
his
Ambassadours
to
Antigone
in
Asie
,
to
treat
a
peace
with
him
,
who
aunswered
,
that
there
was
but
one
way
for
him
to
auoyde
the
warres
,
which
was
to
submit
hys
persone
and
whole
estate
to
him
:
with
which
aunswere
he
was
sore
abashed
.
Wherfore
he
sent
into
Thrace
to
Lysimache
,
praying
him
to
come
ouer
,
that
they
might
togyther
consult
of
his
estate
.
For
in
all
his
affaires
and
waightie
businesse
,
he
always
accustomed
to
send
for
him
to
communicate
with
him
of
them
,
and
also
to
desire
his
ayde
,
aswell
for
that
he
was
a
noble
and
valiaunt
man
,
as
also
bycause
he
was
néere
neighbour
to
the
countrey
of
Macedon
.
After
Cassander
and
Lysimache
had
long
consulted
and
debated
togyther
of
their
businesse
,
they
determined
to
send
their
Ambassadoures
to
King
Ptolome
in
Egipt
,
and
to
Seleuke
,
gouernour
and
ruler
of
the
hier
regions
,
to
declare
to
them
of
Antigone
his
proude
and
arrogant
wordes
:
and
how
that
the
hazard
of
that
victorie
was
common
to
them
all
.
For
if
he
were
seized
on
the
realme
of
Macedon
,
such
was
his
desire
of
Dominion
and
rule
,
thinking
him
to
haue
no
pere
,
that
he
would
dryue
them
euery
man
oute
of
their
Countreys
,
as
they
had
by
experience
séene
and
proued
.
Wherfore
it
was
méete
and
necessarie
,
to
ioyne
all
togyther
,
and
with
one
common
accord
warre
vppon
him
.
To
which
admonitions
,
Ptolome
and
Seleuke
soone
agréed
,
and
promised
eche
of
them
to
sende
a
mightie
power
of
men
to
resiste
the
said
Antigone
,
if
at
any
tyme
he
came
to
pierce
and
inuade
their
countryes
.
Howbeit
,
they
determined
not
to
looke
for
him
before
he
came
to
séeke
them
at
home
in
t●
eir
owne
countrey
:
and
then
to
preuent
him
and
do
some
exploite
of
great
waight
,
they
deuided
them
into
two
bandes
,
the
one
of
which
Cassander
gaue
to
Lysimache
,
and
with
the
other
him selfe
went
into
Thessaly
,
against
Demetre
and
the
Grekes
.
As
for
Lysimache
he
passed
into
Asie
,
&
at
his
first
comming
receyued
and
got
to
his
amitie
the
Lampsacians
and
Paryanians
,
whome
he
set
at
libertie
,
bycause
they
yelded
to
him
of
their
owne
accorde
.
But
he
forcibly
tooke
the
Sigeans
,
who
stoode
to
their
defence
,
and
thrust
a
garrison
into
their
citie
.
This
done
,
he
deliuered
to
Prepelaye
,
one
of
hys
principall
Captaynes
.vij.
thousand
footemen
,
and
a
thousande
horsse
to
go
reduce
into
his
obeisaunce
the
Cities
of
Eolide
and
Ionye
,
and
him selfe
went
and
besieged
Abide
.
But
as
he
was
making
preparation
with
his
Engines
to
assaile
the
towne
,
vnderstanding
that
Demetre
hadde
by
Sea
sent
thyther
ayde
sufficient
to
defend
it
,
he
changed
his
determination
and
purpose
,
and
departed
thence
and
came
into
the
countrey
of
Phryge
by
Hellespont
,
and
there
besieged
the
citie
of
Synade
,
wherein
stood
a
strong
Castle
,
Synade
.
in
which
Antigone
layde
vp
and
kept
one
part
of
his
treasure
and
richesse
.
But
in
the
ende
he
so
practised
with
Docime
deputie
for
Antigone
,
that
he
deliuered
the
Towne
and
Castle
and
ioyned
with
him
against
Antigone
,
and
was
the
cause
that
certen
other
forts
and
Castles
rendred
,
within
which
likewise
Antigone
hadde
an
other
parte
of
hys
treasure
.
And
Prepelaye
who
was
sent
into
Eolide
and
Ionye
,
tooke
as
he
passed
,
the
Citie
of
Adramit
,
Adramit
.
and
after
encamped
before
Ephese
,
where
he
put
the
Townesmen
in
suche
terror
,
that
they
rendred
to
him
vpon
composition
,
and
found
in
it
a
hundred
Rhodians
,
which
he
sent
away
vnransomed
and
without
endomaging
the
Townesmen
any
whit
at
all
.
Howbeit
,
he
burnt
all
the
shippes
within
the
Hauen
,
bycause
the
enimie
was
at
Sea
stronger
than
he
,
and
the
successe
of
that
war
is
yet
vncertayne
and
vndetermined
.
After
that
,
he
incontinent
drewe
to
his
alliaunce
the
Theians
and
Colophonians
.
But
the
Erythreans
and
Clazomenians
he
could
not
winne
,
bycause
they
were
spéedly
ayded
by
Sea
:
notwithstanding
be
made
incursions
,
and
robbed
all
their
lande
.
After
that
,
he
went
against
the
citie
of
Sarde
,
Sarde
.
whiche
he
by
composition
tooke
on
Phonicke
and
Docime
,
Antigone
his
deputies
,
and
wanne
them
to
hys
alliaunce
.
Howbeit
,
he
could
not
get
the
castle
,
bycause
Philip
Captayne
thereof
,
one
of
Antigone
hys
chiefe
friends
,
would
not
by
any
practize
or
deuise
be
wonne
,
but
honestly
kept
it
for
his
said
Master
,
who
put
him
in
that
truste
.
In
this
estate
where
the

¶
Antigone
commeth
against
Lysimache
,
and
after
he
hath
him
twise
besieged
,
and
can
not
get
him
out
to
battaill
,
they
are
both
fayne
to
sende
their
Souldiours
in
garrisons
to

.
The
.xviij.
Chapter
THe
same
season
had
Antigone
made
great
preparation
for
the
sportes
,
tournais
,
and
diuerse
other
pastimes
in
the
citie
of
Antigone
.
Antigone
.
For
performaunce
whereof
,
he
caused
a
great
numbre
of
all
sortes
of
people
thyther
to
repaire
,
as
sword
players
,
wrastlers
,
and
all
the
most
excellent
artificers
.
But
after
he
vnderstood
of
Lysimache
his
passing
by
,
and
the
reuolting
of
his
captaynes
,
he
left
of
all
his
sportes
and
pastimes
.
Neuerthelesse
,
to
content
than
that
were
come
thyther
,
he
gaue
aboue
two
hundred
Talents
,
to
be
distributed
amongs
them
,
and
after
departed
with
his
armie
out
of
the
countrey
of
Syrie
,
making
haste
to
come
before
the
face
of
the
enimie
.
And
after
he
had
gotten
to
the
citie
of
Tarse
,
Tarse
.
in
the
Region
of
Cilice
,
he
payed
all
his
Souldiours
for
.iij.
Monethes
.
And
besides
carried
in
siluer
with
hym
,
three
thousand
Talents
:
bycause
he
would
want
no
money
to
atchieue
his
enterprises
,
what
so
euer
should
happen
.
From
thence
passed
he
the
Mount
Thaure
,
and
entred
the
countrey
of
Cappadoce
:
and
from
thence
into
the
hier
Phrygie
,
bringing
vnder
his
subiection
the
Townes
and
cities
of
the
said
countreys
,
whiche
were
reuolted
.
Whereof
Lysimache
aduertised
,
assembled
his
captayns
,
and
consulted
what
was
best
to
be
done
.
And
in
the
end
considering
the
great
puissance
of
the
enimie
,
they
were
all
of
the
opinion
,
not
to
ioyne
battaill
,
vntill
such
time
as
the
ayde
and
succours
which
Seleuke
should
send
out
of
the
hier
Satrapies
were
come
:
but
still
to
kéepe
in
the
strongest
places
and
most
of
aduantage
,
to
fortifie
their
campe
stronglie
,
to
keepe
good
watch
.
And
to
be
shorte
,
whatsoeuer
séemed
for
their
most
aduantage
,
they
right
wysely
performed
.
For
althoughe
Antigone
approched
them
&
presented
battaill
,
yet
made
they
no
semblaunt
once
to
sallie
out
of
their
campe
.
Which
thing
Antigone
apperceyuing
,
tooke
and
kepte
certen
passages
to
cut
them
from
their
victualles
.
Whereupon
Lysimache
fearing
famine
,
&
by
that
meane
to
be
forced
to
render
to
the
enimie
,
stoale
away
by
night
,
and
without
staye
trauailled
foure
hundred
furlongs
,
vntill
he
came
to
Dorythe
,
and
there
pitched
his
campe
:
Dorythe
.
bycause
the
place
was
well
purueied
of
victualles
and
all
other
things
necessarie
,
hauing
a
Ryuer
running
hard
by
it
,
whiche
was
a
great
sauegard
and
comfort
for
the
armie
,
and
entrenched
his
campe
with
a
broad
and
déepe
ditche
,
and
thrée
trenches
.
In
the
meane
season
,
Antigone
aduertised
of
Lysimache
his
departure
,
with
all
diligence
pursued
hym
,
but
before
he
could
ouertake
him
,
he
might
perceyue
,
that
he
had
already
fortified
his
campe
.
Notwithstanding
he
a
fresh
presented
him
battaill
,
but
seeing
him
that
waye
nothing
apte
and
disposed
,
commaunded
his
Souldiours
to
enuiron
the
campe
of
the
enimie
with
trenches
,
and
planted
all
his
Engines
against
the
same
,
determining
there
to
besiege
them
.
And
althoughe
the
enimie
,
sore
gald
,
and
oftentimes
repulsed
them
with
shot
,
yet
hadde
Antigone
his
Souldiours
euer
the
better
:
and
in
short
tyme
had
almost
wonne
their
rampire
,
whiche
Lysimache
séeing
,
and
still
fearing
enclosing
and
famine
,
in
a
foule
and
raynie
night
raysed
hys
Campe
and
stoale
awaye
,
without
knowledge
of
the
enimie
,
passing
throughe
the
places
of
aduauntage
,
alongest
the
Mountayne
,
by
which
meane
he
lost
not
one
man
of
his
armie
:
but
dispersed
it
,
and
sent
them
by
garrisons
to
winter
.
When
it
was
daye
,
Antigone
vnderstanding
the
departure
of
the
enimie
,
likewise
departed
and
pursued
them
certen
dayes
alongest
the
playne
,
costing
dayly
the
mountayn
,
but
there
fell
such
store
of
rayne
,
and
the
ground
waxed
so
miery
and
déepe
,
that
he
lost
manie
of
his
beastes
and
mares
which
drew
his
carriages
,
and
also
many
men
:
and
the
reste
were
verie
sore
trauelled
and
weried
.
Wherefore
the
King
meaning
to
rest
his
weried
Souldiours
,
and
séeing
winter
approche
,
left
pursuing
the
enimy
,
and
deuided
his
armie
,
sending
them
into
places
couenable
to
winter
.
But
when
he
vnderstoode
,
that
Seleuke
was
with
great
puisaunce
come
out
of
the
hier
Satrapes
against
him
,
he
sent
a
friend
of
his
to
Demetre
hys
sonne
lying
in
Grece
,
commaunding
him
to
make
spéedy
returne
with
his
whole
power
,

Chapter
.
THe
same
season
,
wherein
the
matters
before
spoken
of
were
exploited
in
Asie
,
Demetre
after
purposed
to
celebrate
in
Eleusine
the
accustomed
annuall
pastimes
and
sacrifices
of
the
countrey
,
to
the
ende
he
would
there
be
enstalled
and
consecrated
.
And
bicause
it
was
long
to
the
ordinarie
daye
,
he
sore
laye
vpon
the
Athenians
,
and
required
them
,
that
they
woulde
for
hys
loue
,
and
in
parte
of
recompence
of
the
good
turnes
he
had
done
them
,
set
forward
the
daye
:
whiche
at
hys
request
they
did
:
whereupon
he
all
vnarmed
,
presented
him selfe
to
the
Priestes
,
and
being
before
the
vsuall
daye
enstalled
and
consecrated
,
after
the
maner
and
custome
of
the
countrey
,
departed
from
Athens
,
and
came
to
the
citie
of
Calchide
,
Calchide
.
in
the
Isle
of
Euboye
,
where
he
first
assembled
his
shippes
and
footemen
.
Euboye
.
And
being
there
,
he
vnderstood
that
Cassanders
souldiours
kept
the
passages
of
the
countrey
thereby
:
wherefore
he
thought
it
not
good
to
trauell
into
Thessaly
by
land
,
but
enbarqued
hys
armie
,
and
sailed
thence
,
and
arriued
at
the
Port
of
Larisse
,
where
he
came
on
land
,
Larisse
.
and
first
wanne
the
citie
,
&
after
the
castle
,
and
committed
the
garrison
men
to
prison
,
and
set
the
Citizens
at
libertie
.
After
that
,
he

.
and
stayed
the
Citizens
of
Dium
and
Orcomenie
,
Dium
.
whome
Cassander
would
haue
transferred
into
the
citie
of
Thebes
,
Orcomenie
.
least
they
should
go
thyther
.
When
Cassander
sée
that
Demetre
his
doings
still
prospered
,
he
thrust
greater
garrisons
into
the
cities
of
Phere
and
Thebes
:
and
with
the
remnaunt
of
his
men
marched
towardes
him
,
and
encamped
as
néere
as
was
possible
.
He
had
in
his
armie
.xxix.
thousande
footemen
,
The
great
power
on
eyther
side
.
and
two
thousand
horsse
.
And
Demetre
hadde
aboue
.xv.
hundred
horsse
.viij.
thousand
Macedonian
footemen
.xv.
thousand
Mercenaries
.xxv.
thousand
Grekes
,
and
aboue
eight
thousande
Pyrates
and
other
light
armed
men
,
who
came
more
for
spoyle
than
to
fight
:
so
that
in
all
he
had
lvj
.
thousand
footemen
.
When
the
two
armies
were
in
view
one
of
another
(
although
the
Souldiours
on
eche
side
desired
battaill
)
yet
came
they
not
to
ioyning
,
bycause
the
Chieftaynes
attended
and
looked
for
newes
of
the
successe
of
the
warres
in
Asie
.
For
vpon
that
hoong
the
losse
and
victorie
to
tall
.
In
the
meane
tyme
the
Phereans
had
brought
secretly
into
their
citie
Demetre
with
a
certen
numbre
of
his
Souldiours
,
who
tooke
and
helde
the
Castle
:
and
vppon
his
honour
sent
away
Cassanders
Souldiours
,
with
bagge
and
baggage
,
and
after
restored
the
Phereans
to
libertie
.
The
affaires
of
Thessaly
being
in
this
estate
,
Demetre
receyued
letters
from
his
father
,
wherein
he
commaunded
hym
forthwith
to
come
to
him
with
his
armie
into
Asie
:
whiche
letters
receyued
,
and
obeing
his
fathers
commaundement
,
he
concluded
a
peace
with
Cassander
,
alwayes
reseruing
his
Fathers
pleasure
for
confirmation
thereof
,
bicause
he
was
assured
his
father
would
neuer
agrée
therto
:
but
would
by
armes
and
dint
of
sworde
determine
and
finishe
the
warres
,
and
not
by
composition
and
agréement
.
Howebeit
,
Demetre
concluded
the
league
and
peace
,
to
the
end
he
would
haue
an
honest
occasion
to
departe
Grece
,
to
go
into
Asie
,
so
that
it
should
not
be
saide
,
he
fled
,
but
that
he
honestlie
departed
,
chieflie
considering
,
that
in
one
of
the
articles
of
the
conclusion
was
agréed
,
that
all
the
cities
of
Grece
,
aswell
in
Asie
as
in
Europe
,
should
be
restored
to
libertie
.
After
the
same
conclusion
,
Demetre
made
great
prouision
of
Carracques
,
wherein
he
enbarqued
all
his
whole
armie
,
and
fraught
al
his
carriages
:
&
sayling
thence
alongest
the
Isles
,
he
arriued
at
the
Porte
of
Ephese
,
and
there
landing
his
armie
,
encamped
harde
before
the
towne
,
and
enforced
the
garrison
to
restore
to
hir
pristinate
estate
and
libertie
the
Citie
,
and
licenced
them
and
their
Captayn
Prepelay
one
of
Cassanders
Chieftaynes
,
safely
to
departe
with
bag
and
baggage
:
and
garrisoned
the
Castle
with
his
owne
Souldioures
,
and
then
entred
Hellespont
:
where
he
wanne
to
his
obeysaunce
the
Lampsaks
,
Parians
,
and
certen
other
Cities
,
who
were
subtract
from
hys
amitie
.
After
he
sayled
to
the
entry
of
Pont
,
and
encamped
about
the
temple
of
the
Calcedonians
,
for
gard
wherof
he
left
thrée
thousand
footmen
,
and
.xxx.
Gallies
,
the
rest
of
his
Souldiours
,
he
deuided
amongs
the
cities
to
winter
.
The
same
time
Mytridate
Gouernour
of
the
countreys
of
Mysie
and
Carie
,
who
tooke
parte
with
Antigone
,
Mythridate
.
being
suspected
,
that
he
had
conference
with
Cassander
,
was
put
to
death
,
when
he
had
gouerned
.xxxv.
yeares
,
after
whom
his
sonne
Mithridate
succeded
,
who
after
enlarged
&
encreased
his
fathers
Empire
,
and
besides
,
for
the
space
of
.xxxvj.
yéeres
,
gouerned
the
countreys
of
Cappadoce
and
Paphlagone
.
The
same
season
also
,
Cassander
(
after
the
departure
of
Demetre
)
recouered
the
cities
he
had
lost
in
Thessalie
,
and
sent
in
Lysimache
his
aide
,
Plisterche
one
of
his
captains
into
Asie
,
with
the
greater
parte
of
his
armie
,
being
about
xxij

,
and

But
after
Plistarche
was
come
to
the
straight
of

,
and
sée
it
garded
by
Demetre
his
Souldiours
,
he
returned

¶
Antigone
comming
to
battail
against
the
enimie
,
is
throughe
the
default
of
hys
sonne
Demetre
slayne
.
The
first
Chapter
.
ABoute
the
spring
,
the
two
armies
(
to
saye
,
Antigone
and
Demetre
on
the
one
parte
,
and
the
Kings
confederate
on
the
other
)
with
great
power
came
into
the
fields
one
against
an
other
.
For
Antigone
had
about
.
Lxx.
thousand
footemen
.iiij.
thousand
horse
,
and
.
Lxxv.
Elephantes
.
And
on
the
enimies
side
were
about
.
Lxiiij
.
thousand
footmen
.xv.
thousand
horsse
,
foure
score
Elephantes
,
and
.
Cxx.
armed
charriots
.
When
the
two
armies
were
in
viewe
one
of
an
other
,
Antigone
was
maruelously
troubled
and
very
pensife
.
For
there
ranne
in
hys
fantasie
many
things
,
and
especially
the
great
daunger
and
hazard
of
that
battaill
,
whereof
he
no
lesse
doubted
the
losse
,
than
he
had
good
hope
of
victorie
.
And
although
one
waye
(
by
reason
of
his
continual
victories
)
he
well
hoped
:
but
chiefly
for
the
fame
and
reputation
,
by
him
newly
gotten
for
hys
laste
victorie
in
Cypres
,
yet
he
agayne
as
a
wise
man
,
and
one
experimented
in
martiall
pollicies
,
considered
the
varietie
of
Fortune
,
who
is
neuer
firme
or
stable
,
but
still
delighteth
in
mutation
and
chaunge
.
All
whiche
things
throughly
wayed
,
he
became
so
sore
troubled
and
gréeued
,
that
where
he
before
in
other
warres
and
battailles
was
accustomed
to
speake
lowde
and
fiercely
,
in
reproche
and
despite
of
the
enimie
,
and
set
forth
hys
stoutenesse
and
magnanimitie
:
he
then
without
words
was
altogyther
heauie
&
pensiue
,
which
imported
a
maruelous
thought
and
care
in
him
,
as
if
he
had
had
some
present
infelicitie
in
his
head
,
which
sodaynly
happened
him
.
He
did
also
at
that
time
(
as
they
said
)
many
things
whiche
he
neuer
woonted
to
do
.
For
he
there
openly
in
presence
of
al
,
declared
and
named
his
sonne
Demetre
successor
of
hys
realme
,
as
thoughe
he
should
presently
haue
died
:
and
after
tooke
him
into
his
Pauilion
a
great
while
,
and
conferred
with
him
alone
,
whereat
the
whole
armie
was
maruellously
abashed
,
bycause
he
neuer
before
vsed
a
parte
to
talke
,
nor
yet
communicate
with
him
in
secret
of
his
affayres
,
but
trusting
to
his
owne
wyt
,
determined
all
matters
after
his
owne
fantasie
,
and
withoute
demaunding
aduise
or
counsail
of
any
,
would
commaund
that
to
him
seemed
best
.
In
so
muche
that
at
one
tyme
,
(
they
said
)
when
Demetre
his
sonne
,
being
but
a
yong
Souldiour
,
demaunded
when
he
should
returne
to
hym
with
the
armie
,
with
a
troubled
and
disdainfull
countenaunce
,
aunswered
:
Arte
thou
so
very
a
boy
&
cowarde
that
thou
canst
not
without
me
heare
the
sounde
of
the
Trumpets
?
Ageyn
,
besides
these
his
fantasies
and
imaginations
,
many
things
then
happened
whiche
might
be
iudged
pronostications
of
euill
lucke
and
misfortune
towardes
him
.
For
Demetre
one
night
sée
in
his
dreame
,
Alexander
the
great
al
armed
in
white
,
who
asking
him
what
signe
and
token
he
should
giue
to
hys
Souldiours
in
that
battaill
:
aunswered
that
Iupiter
gaue
victorie
,
and
by
and
by
hym
thought
that
Alexander
saide
,
and
I
also
will
take
parte
with
your
enimies
.
It
was
likewise
reported
,
that
after
Antigone
had
aranged
his
Phalang
or
battaille
of
footemen
,
and
comming
oute
of
hys
Tente
,
that
he
stoond
one
of
his
féete
,
and
therewith
sodenly
fel
flat
to
the
ground
.
And
after
he
was
lift
vppe
,
holding
vp
his
handes
to
heauen
,
made
his
humble
prayers
to
the
Gods
,
that
they
would
eyther
gyue
hym
victorie
,
or
at
the
least
,
that
he
might
be
slayne
,
rather
than
with
shame
to
be
enforced
to
flie
:
and
all
at
once
wholy
went
to
the
battaill
,
which
on
eyther
side
beganne
very
hoate
and
cruel
.
It
happened
soone
after
the
Demetre
,
with
a
lustie
band
of
horssemen
vnder
his
charge
,
so
violently
charged
Antioche
the
Sonne
of
Seleuke
,
that
he
put
him
and
all
his
company
to
flight
,
and
by
reason
of
the
excessiue
ioye
of
victorie
,
hadde
them
so
long
in
chase
,
that
with
his
too
great
desire
,
he
lost
altogyther
.
For
during
the
time
he
had
them
in
chase
,
the
Seleukeans
séeing
the
footemen
left
naked
without
horse
(
whiche
shoulde
haue
ben
their
garde
and
succoure
)
so
encompassed
them
,
as
though
they
would
on
euery
side
haue
charged
.
Wherevpon
some
seeing
all
their
horssmen
gone
,
forthewith
rendred
,
and
the
reste
whiche
stood
to
the
defence
,
after
they
see
their
inabilitie
to
withstand
,
fled
,
so
that
when
Demetre
was
returned
from
the
chase
,
he
could
no
way
bring
them
ageyne
into
order
.
And
immediatly
after
this
companie
was
discomfited
,
a
great
band
of
the
enimie
,
charged
the
battaill
wherein
Antigone
was
,
euery
of
them
meaning
to
get
his
persone
.
Whiche
thing
one
of
his
Souldiours
apperceyuing
,
sayd
to
him
:
Saue
thy selfe
Sir
King
,
for
euery
of
these
men
séeke
and
desire
none
but
thée
,
whome
he
ageyne
thus
aunswered
:
In
vayne
they
séeke
and
desire
me
,
for
Demetre
will
soone
be
here
to
ayde
me
.
Howbeit
,
the
charge
was
so
sodaine
and
impetuous
,
that
before
his
Sonne
coulde
come
to
helpe
him
,
many
times
calling
for
him
to
his
ayde
,
and
looking
round
about
if
he
came
,
was
by
the
enimie
enuironed
,
and
after
he
was
dead
sore
wounded
.
And
then
all
his
enimies
about
him
fled
,
except
Thorax
of
Larisse
,
Thorax
.
who
alone
tarried
with
the
body
.
¶
After
this
discomfiture
,
the
Athenians
woulde
not
suffer
Demetre
to
entre
their
Citie
:
and
howe
he
ageyne
gathereth
togyther
his
armie
.
After
,
Demetre
his
daughter
is
married
to
Seleuke
,
who
treateth
a
marriage
betwene
Demetre
&
Ptolomais
,
daughter
to
King
Ptolome
:
and
of
the
deniall
he
hath
of
two
little
Cities
.
The
.ij.
Chapter
.
AFter
the
Kings
confederate
had
wonne
this
victorie
,
they
deuided
amongs
them
(
as
a
great
praye
&
but
in
)
all
Antigone
and
Demetre
their
landes
and
Seigniories
.
And
after
Demetre
sée
the
battaill
loste
,
he
in
all
haste
,
with
.v.
thousande
footemen
,
and
foure
thousand
horsse
fled
to
Ephese
.
Whereupon
the
Citizens
considering
his
losse
,
and
the
necessitie
he
was
in
,
greatly
feared
that
he
woulde
robbe
and
spoyle
the
riche
Temple
of
Diana
Howbeit
,
he
tooke
not
a
Talent
,
but
doubting
that
his
Souldiours
(
bycause
they
were
not
well
pleased
with
him
)
would
do
some
wicked
déede
,
The
industrie
of
Demetre
.
he
therfore
determined
to
departe
the
Citie
.
And
after
he
sée
the
wind
beganne
to
blowe
vp
,
he
enbarqued
all
his
soldiours
,
and
sailed
directly
into
the
Countrey
of
Grece
,
meaning
to
get
into
the
citie
of
Athens
,
whiche
he
hadde
kepte
for
his
onely
and
singular
refuge
,
and
therefore
had
there
his
shippes
,
treasure
,
and
Deidamie
his
wife
,
Deidamie
.
being
fully
persuaded
that
that
Citie
would
neuer
faile
,
whatsoeuer
chaunce
and
aduersitie
might
happen
.
Howbeit
,
he
was
therein
greatly
deceyued
,
for
so
soone
as
he
was
thyther
come
,
arriuing
aboute
the
Cyclades
,
there
came
messangers
to
them
from
the
Athenians
,
whiche
brought
him
such
newes
,
as
he
neuer
thought
on
or
looked
for
,
signifying
to
him
,
that
the
Athenians
had
concluded
and
determined
not
to
receyue
any
King
into
their
Citie
,
praying
him
therefore
to
refrayne
and
staye
hys
comming
thyther
.
Neuerthelesse
,
that
they
would
send
him
his
wife
,
in
suche
honorable
estate
as
became
them
to
do
,
and
as
to
the
wife
of
so
honorable
and
Noble
a
Prince
apperteyned
.
What
faith
and
confidence
a
Prince
ought
to
haue
in
hys
subiectes
.
With
whiche
Ambassade
Demetre
was
so
angry
&
agréeued
,
that
a
litle
thing
would
haue
made
him
lost
all
the
hope
of
his
estate
,
and
almost
desperate
.
For
although
what
with
the
losse
of
his
Father
,
armie
,
and
realme
,
he
see
him
reduced
and
brought
from
so
great
felicitie
almost
to
extreme
miserie
and
beggerie
,
yet
considering
the
power
and
nature
of
Fortune
,
(
to
whome
al
men
are
subiect
)
he
paciently
endured
and
abyd
all
his
misfortunes
and
infelicities
.
But
séeing
him
so
frustrate
of
his
hope
,
deceyued
and
mocked
of
the
Athenians
,
he
was
thereat
so
agréeued
and
despited
,
that
he
could
by
no
meane
beare
it
.
Whereupon
by
example
may
be
learned
,
and
by
experience
knowen
,
that
the
hyghe
and
mightie
Princes
which
thinke
bicause
of
the
great
honor
and
seruice
that
the
people
do
them
,
that
therefore
they
singularly
loue
them
,
and
that
that
is
a
great
establishement
and
suertie
of
their
estate
,
are
therin
maruelously
deceyued
:
And
although
of
their
owne
accord
,
&
for
some
good
will
they
beare
to
Princes
,
they
oftentimes
do
them
these
honoures
:
yet
many
tymes
it
is
for
feare
,
for
we
dayly
sée
that
they
will
do
as
great
honour
,
and
make
as
humble
reuerence
to
them
whom
they
hate
,
as
to
those
they
honour
and
loue
.
Wherefore
all
sage
Princes
and
Gouernours
of
common
weales
,
do
not
care
or
force
to
be
so
much
honoured
of
the
common
people
by
Decrées
,
by
setting
vp
their
statues
or
images
,
by
orations
,
and
other
like
means
,
as
to
do
such
things
as
are
worthie
and
deserue
such
honours
.
Notwithstanding
his
angre
and
despite
against
the
Athenians
,
séeing
yet
no
way
of
reuenge
,
he
dissimuled
the
matter
,
hoping
one
daye
to
haue
a
more
conuenient
tyme
&
season
.
Neyther
gaue
he
the
Ambassadoures
any
euill
or
discurteous
language
,
nor
yet
made
semblant
,
as
though
he
were
discontented
,
but
required
them
one
thing
,
to
send
him
his
shippes
lying
in
the
Porte
of
Pyrey
:
amongs
which
was
one
of
.xiij.
tier
of
ores
on
a
side
,
which
they
speedely
did
.
And
so
soone
as
he
had
them
,
he
sailed
in
all
haste
to
the
straight
of
Peloponnese
,
called
Isthmus
:
being
there
arriued
,
newes
were
brought
hym
out
of
al
quarters
,
that
his
case
daily
empaired
,
and
that
his
garrisons
euery
where
were
expulsed
,
&
his
townes
without
resistaunce
rendred
to
the
enimie
.
Where
upon
he
was
in
maruelous
doubt
what
to
do
.
Notwithstanding
,
considering
that
he
left
Pyrrhe
in
Grece
,
he
went
with
his
whole
armie
into
Cheronesse
,
to
inuade
Lysimache
his
countrey
,
and
in
short
time
his
strength
and
power
so
encreased
,
that
he
had
an
able
armie
,
whereat
the
other
Kings
were
nothing
agréeued
,
bycause
they
all
maliced
Lysimache
his
pride
,
and
enuied
his
puissaunce
.
But
shortly
after
happened
Demetre
a
better
aduenture
:
For
Seleuke
séeing
that
Lysimache
had
had
in
marriage
two
of
Ptolome
his
daughters
,
one
for
him selfe
,
an
other
for
Agathocles
his
sonne
,
he
likewise
determined
by
alliaunce
with
the
other
Kings
to
establishe
and
fortifie
his
realme
as
much
as
he
could
.
Whereupon
he
sent
to
Demetre
,
demaunding
in
marriage
his
daughter
Stratonice
:
Stratonice
.
whiche
sodaine
aduenture
Demetre
right
well
knew
how
to
accept
,
and
thereuppon
incontinent
,
with
his
whole
Nauie
sailed
into
Syrie
,
&
brought
his
daughter
to
Seleuke
.
But
coasting
alongest
the
shoare
,
straight
vppon
the
Countrey
of
Cilice
,
hys
Souldiours
went
on
lande
,
and
robbed
and
spoyled
the
countrey
.
Wherupon
Pisistrate
,
Pisistrate
.
brother
to
Cassander
,
whiche
Cassander
had
had
the
same
Countrey
,
by
particion
made
at
the
spoyle
of
Antigone
,
was
verie
sore
displeased
.
Wherefore
he
incontinent
went
towardes
Seleuke
,
and
made
to
him
hys
complainte
:
and
farther
declared
,
that
he
did
euill
to
seperate
him selfe
from
the
other
Kings
,
who
had
altogyther
made
alliaunce
with
him
against
the
said
Antigone
.
But
when
Demetre
vnderstood
that
Pisistrate
was
gone
,
he
set
on
land
the
greater
numbre
of
his
Souldiours
in
the
said
Countrey
,
and
ageyne
robbed
and
spoyled
the
same
,
and
in
the
ende
made
the
paysaunts
compound
with
him
for
.xij.
hundred
Talents
:
which
they
payed
on
the
nayle
,
and
thereupon
he
ageyue
enbarqued
his
Souldiours
,
and
kept
his
course
directly
towardes
Syrie
.
And
one
euening
going
on
land
with
his
wife
Phile
,
he
found
Seleuke
come
thyther
before
,
where
at
their
firste
méeting
,
without
countenaunce
of
mistrust
the
one
of
the
other
,
was
made
great
chéere
.
But
firste
,
Seleuke
feasted
Demetre
in
his
Pauilion
on
lande
,
and
after
Demetre
feasted
him
in
a
Gallie
of
.xiij.
tier
of
ores
,
and
all
that
daye
,
they
had
great
talke
,
and
long
conference
togyther
without
armour
or
watche
one
to
another
,
but
altogyther
good
chéere
and
confidence
amongs
them
and
their
Souldiours
.
Finallie
,
when
Seleuke
had
espoused
Stratonice
,
he
brought
hir
away
,
and
with
his
whole
furniture
departed
thence
towardes
his
Sonne
Antioche
.
Demetre
likewise
returned
into
Cilice
,
and
after
his
arriuall
,
he
incontinent
sent
Phile
his
wife
towardes
Cassander
hir
brother
,
Phile.
to
excuse
him
of
the
incursions
&
robberies
,
by
him
in
the
said
Countrey
committed
and
done
.
In
the
meane
season
arriued
out
of
Grece
Deidame
,
before
Demetre
,
who
within
fewe
dayes
after
,
fell
into
a
disease
,
whereof
she
died
.
Shortly
after
whose
death
,
Demetre
seeking
new
alliaunce
,
a
marriage
by
Seleuke
his
meane
,
was
concluded
betwene
Demetre
and
Ptolomaide
,
daughter
to
King
Ptolome
,
wherein
Seleuke
dealt
very
gentlie
and
curteously
towards
Demetre
.
But
not
long
after
,
he
played
him
as
vngentle
a
parte
and
ill
agréeing
to
the
affinitie
with
him
newly
contracted
.
For
notwithstanding
Demetre
his
large
and
great
offer
of
money
to
Seleuke
,
he
not
only
refused
to
render
the
countrey
of
Cilice
,
but
also
denied
him
two
Cities
Tyre
and
Sydone
:
whiche
in
Seleuke
was
a
great
discurtesie
,
and
therefore
reputed
of
great
pusillanimitie
,
that
he
being
Lord
and
King
of
all
the
lande
and
countreys
betwene
the
Indian
Sea
vnto
the
Syrian
shoare
,
did
more
estéeme
two
trifling
cities
of
no
●
alue
,
than
the
amitie
and
parentage
of
one
so
noble
and
valiaunt
a
King
.
And
although
he
had
married
his
daughter
,
séeing
him
by
Fortune
persecuted
euen
to
the
hard
hedge
,
did
not
only
refuse
to
ayde
him
,
but
in
refusing
to
giue
him
the
domicile
of
two
small
Cities
,
secretly
expulsed
him
all
hys
landes
and
dominions
.
And
trulie
this
pusillanimitie
doth
the
sayings
of
Plato
well
proue
in
this
I
counsaill
him
that
woulde
be
riche
(
sayeth
Plato
)
not
to
studie
and
deuise
to
gather
togyther
great
store
of
treasure
,
A
goodlie
example
of
Plato
against
auari●
ious
men
.
but
that
he
refraine
his
couetous
desire
.
For
he
shall
alwayes
be
poore
,
who
without
setting
measure
to
his
couetousnesse
,
hath
an
ardent
desire
to
get
.
Neuerthelesse
,
although
Demetre
was
thus
of
his
intention
&
purpose
by
his
sonne
in
lawe
frustrate
,
yet
lost
he
no
whit
his
courage
,
but
as
a
man
of
an
inuincible
harte
,
&
one
that
oftentimes
had
assayed
the
deceytes
of
Fortune
,
said
to
his
friends
:
Although
I
should
a
thousand
times
haue
ben
vanquished
and
ouercome
,
yet
would
I
not
be
so
fainte
harted
and
effeminate
,
for
so
small
a
trifle
to
lose
the
loue
and
fauoure
of
my
sonne
in
lawe
.
¶
Demetre
at
his
pleasure
,
taketh
by
siege
the
Citie
of
Athens
:
of
his
bountie
and
humanitie
towardes
them
.
And
after
besiegeth
the
Citie
of
Sparte
in
the
countrey
of
Laconie
.
The
.iij.
Chapter
.
WHile
these
matters
were
doing
,
Demetre
was
by
letters
from
his
friendes
oute
of
Grece
aduertised
,
how
Lamacare
,
throughe
a
popular
sedition
which
had
ben
at
Athens
,
Lamacare
.
vsurped
the
Dominion
thereof
.
Wherfore
they
willed
him
not
to
lose
any
such
occasion
for
recouerie
of
so
noble
a
citie
.
Whereuppon
he
incontinent
went
to
Sea
with
his
whole
armie
:
and
sailed
directly
into
Grece
.
But
as
he
drew
néere
the
region
of
Athens
,
sodenly
arose
a
sore
tempest
,
wherein
many
of
his
shippes
and
men
perished
,
whereby
he
was
enforced
,
for
his
better
sauetie
,
to
come
on
land
,
and
for
that
time
to
leaue
of
his
enterprise
of
Athens
,
vntill
some
other
more
conuenient
season
.
Wherefore
he
gaue
in
charge
to
certen
of
his
men
,
that
they
should
new
calke
&
amende
hys
shaken
and
brused
shippes
:
and
hym selfe
with
the
rest
sailed
into
Peloponnese
,
and
besieged
the
Citie
of
Messene
,
Messene
.
at
whiche
siege
,
as
he
one
daye
went
about
the
wall
to
view
the
Towne
,
there
came
a
shot
out
of
it
,
which
gaue
him
such
a
blowe
on
the
chappes
,
that
he
had
almost
yelded
the
ghoste
:
neuerthelesse
,
being
soone
after
healed
,
he
tooke
the
sayd
citie
,
&
by
composition
many
other
.
This
done
,
he
ageyn
enterprised
his
voiage
of
Athens
,
and
after
his
entry
into
the
countrey
,
he
tooke
the
cities
Eleusine
and
Rammise
:
Eleusine
.
Rammise
.
and
farther
commaunded
his
men
to
make
incursions
,
and
to
spoyle
and
rob
all
the
countrey
about
the
citie
of
Athens
.
When
the
Athenians
were
by
Demetre
his
Souldiours
thus
we●
ied
and
endomaged
,
A
myne
here
was
a
waight
amongs
the
Greks
of
three
sortes
:
the
one
named
Mina
Attica
,
waying
xij
ounces
and
a
halfe
.
Mina
Medica
xij
.
onc.
And
Mina
Alexandrina
.
xx
.
ounces
.
happened
them
an
other
sodain
inconuenience
,
which
sore
troubled
them
.
For
as
a
Carracque
of
theirs
was
comming
to
the
Citie
laden
with
corne
,
Demetre
toke
it
,
&
immediatly
hung
the
Patron
thereof
:
the
taking
of
whiche
draue
them
to
so
great
a
necessitie
,
that
a
Myne
of
salte
was
solde
for
.xl.
Drachmes
:
and
a
Bushel
of
corne
for
three
hundred
.
Wherevpon
they
were
so
troubled
and
in
suche
despaire
,
that
they
beganne
to
treat
and
rendre
.
But
as
they
were
in
that
mind
,
newes
came
to
them
from
all
coastes
,
howe
King
Ptolome
would
send
an
Cl.
sayle
to
their
ayde
,
alreadie
séene
at
Eugine
,
whereupon
they
were
not
a
little
encouraged
,
and
hoped
to
saue
all
.
When
Demetre
vnderstood
of
the
comming
of
the
saide
Nauie
,
he
got
togyther
in
the
countrey
of
Peloponnese
and
Cypres
,
two
hundred
shippes
,
so
that
when
Ptolome
hys
Captaynes
see
that
they
were
not
able
to
resiste
so
mightie
a
Nauie
,
they
durst
not
abide
,
but
incontinent
retired
.
After
Lamacre
had
heard
of
that
,
he
secretly
stoale
out
of
the
Citie
and
fled
.
And
although
the
Athenians
had
decréed
and
published
a
new
and
common
Decrée
,
that
who
so
euer
did
talke
,
or
once
make
motion
with
Demetre
of
peace
,
or
conclusion
in
peace
,
he
should
lose
his
hed
:
yet
being
with
famine
sore
oppressed
and
gréeued
,
they
were
enforced
to
agrée
,
vpon
such
composition
as
him
best
liked
,
and
set
open
the
gate
nexte
to
his
campe
,
and
sent
their
Ambassadoures
to
rendre
the
Citie
and
Citizens
at
hys
pleasure
,
with
petition
,
that
he
would
not
forget
his
old
accustomed
benignitie
and
clemencie
,
neyther
to
be
reuenged
of
the
iniuries
and
offences
against
his
Maiestie
committed
.
And
this
did
not
the
Athenians
for
any
fauoure
or
grace
that
they
hoped
for
at
Demetre
his
hands
,
considering
his
mortall
grudge
towardes
them
:
but
by
famine
enforced
,
thought
it
muche
better
to
submitte
them
to
his
highnesse
discretion
and
mercie
,
than
to
die
of
hunger
:
which
(
as
they
said
)
was
then
so
great
,
that
a
rat
falling
from
the
toppe
of
a
house
downe
vnto
the
flowre
,
Great
famine
.
the
father
and
hys
Sonnes
straue
maruelously
,
which
of
them
should
haue
it
to
eate
.
And
the
Philosopher
Epicure
fed
his
housholde
with
beanes
,
Epicure
.
whiche
he
gaue
them
out
by
tale
.
When
Demetre
with
his
whole
armie
was
entred
the
citie
,
he
commaunded
that
all
the
people
should
at
the
Theatre
assemble
,
in
the
middest
wherof
on
a
great
scaffolde
pitched
he
his
Pauilion
,
and
appointed
his
Souldiours
to
stand
about
the
same
with
their
weapons
in
their
handes
.
And
soone
after
the
people
were
come
togyther
,
he
descended
from
his
Pauilion
vnto
a
Tribunall
,
much
lower
,
whereat
al
the
people
that
sée
him
,
were
in
maruelous
terrour
and
feare
.
But
after
they
heard
him
vtter
no
sharpe
or
rigorous
words
,
they
were
well
recomforted
.
And
when
he
had
in
the
beginning
of
his
Oration
checked
and
reproued
their
stubbornesse
and
obstinacie
,
he
gently
in
al
humanitie
&
benignitie
procéeded
on
with
the
rest
.
And
in
token
and
signe
of
reconciliation
,
he
gaue
them
two
thousand
Medymnes
of
wheat
,
and
appointed
them
such
Officers
,
as
were
méetest
to
Gouerne
the
Citie
,
according
to
their
auncient
accustomed
libertie
.
Wherat
that
people
were
so
excéeding
glad
and
reioyced
,
that
they
neuer
ceased
highly
to
prayse
and
commend
Demetre
,
and
to
blason
hys
name
throughoute
all
quarters
:
the
Oratours
also
of
the
citie
were
wel
furnished
to
make
and
set
forth
Orations
in
his
commendation
and
prayse
.
And
bycause
Democlide
,
Democlide
.
after
he
had
made
his
Oration
,
would
seeme
to
do
something
more
than
the
reste
,
he
propounded
a
Decrée
,
whereby
was
ordeyned
,
that
the
people
of
Athens
should
fréely
gyue
to
Demetre
the
Townes
of
Pyre
and
Munychie
,
to
vse
at
his
pleasure
:
which
Decrée
being
by
the
people
allowed
,
Demetre
calling
to
remembraunce
their
former
rebellion
,
receyued
their
gentle
offer
:
and
immediatly
fortified
the
Towne
of
Munychie
,
to
the
ende
if
they
at
any
tyme
else
rebelled
,
he
had
now
gotten
a
reyne
to
restrayne
them
.
After
Demetre
had
thus
recouered
the
citie
and
Countrey
of
Athens
,
he
rested
not
,
but
still
continued
from
one
warre
to
another
,
and
with
his
armie
went
against
the
citie
of
Lacedemonie
,
and
when
he
was
come
about
the
Towne
of
Mantine
,
Mantine

he
encountred
Archidame

of
the
Lacedemonians
,
Archidame
.
who
with
great
power
was
come
thyther
to
stoppe
his
passage
,
whome
at
the
firste
ioyning
he
put
to
flight
,
and
incontinent
without
farther
resistaunce
,
entred
the
countrey
of
Laconie
,
robbing
and
spoyling
vntil
he
came
before
the
citie
of
Sparte
,
Sparte
.
which
he
besieged
.
And
as
he
laye
before
the
citie
,
the
Citizens
sallied
out
vppon
him
,
but
they
so
valiauntly
repulsed
them
,
that
there
were
two
hundred
slaine
,
and
.v.
hundred
taken
,
and
it
went
very
narrowly
that
his
Souldiours
had
not
entred
the
citie
pale
mele
,
which
then
was
riche
and
opulent
,

The

Chapter

The
great
var●●●
ie
of
Fortu●
e.
WHen
I
haue
throughly
considered
the
great
mutations
and
chaunges
of
fortune
which
happened
Demetre
,
he
of
all
the
reste
of
the
Kings
in
my
iudgement
,
was
by
fortunes
inconstancie
,
most
vexed
and
tossed
,
both
in
peace
and
warre
.
For
oftentimes
she
aduaunced
him
to
great
glorie
and
prosperitie
,
gyuing
him
mightie
armies
,
notable
victories
,
and
a
large
realme
and
Dominion
.
And
at
an
other
time
,
from
great
prosperitie
and
power
,
soon
after
,
by
the
losse
of
one
battail
,
she
ageyne
brought
him
almost
into
extréeme
calamitie
and
miserie
.
Who
being
in
this
estate
,
and
considering
the
varietie
of
instable
Fortune
,
recited
(
they
say
)
these
Uerses
of
Eschine
following
:
Eschine
.
Fortune
,
once
thou
didst
me
set
in
hye
estate
,
And
in
short
tyme
,
as
lowe
didst
me
mate
.
As
to
him
then
happened
.
For
hauing
prosperous
successe
in
the
countrey
of
Peloponnese
,
newes
were
brought
him
,
that
his
cities
confederate
in
Asie
,
could
no
longer
hold
out
Lysimache
his
puisaunce
,
who
persecuted
them
.
And
that
if
he
the
sooner
came
not
to
the
ayde
of
the
Isle
of
Cypres
,
King
Ptolome
would
subdue
and
take
it
.
Moreouer
,
that
his
wife
and
children
were
in
the
Citie
of
Salamine
besieged
in
great
daunger
of
taking
.
By
reason
of
which
newes
,
he
was
forced
to
raise
his
siege
from
Sparte
,
and
prouide
for
the
foresaid
mischiefs
.
But
as
the
woman
according
to
Archilocke
the
Poet
carrieth
in
one
hand
water
,
Archilocke
hys
similitude
of
a
woman
.
and
in
the
other
fire
:
euen
so
playeth
Fortune
with
Demetre
.
For
so
soone
as
he
was
departed
from
the
countrey
of
Laconie
,
as
aforesaid
,
sodenly
other
newes
came
,
whiche
put
hym
ageyne
in
good
hope
to
exployte
many
notable
things
.
And
firste
it
is
to
be
vnderstoode
,
that
Cassander
not
long
before
was
departed
this
world
,
Cassander
.
by
reason
whereof
,
Phillip
.
the
realme
stood
in
controuersie
betwene
the
other
two
brethren
:
the
elder
of
which
hight
Alexander
,
Alexander
.
and
the
other
Antipater
.
Whiche
Antipater
,
after
he
had
killed
their
mother
Thessalonicke
,
Antipater
.
persecuted
Alexander
,
Thessalonike
.
thinking
to
haue
chased
and
expulsed
him
the
realme
,
who
finding
him self
of
no
force
in
the
countrey
,
sent
oute
for
ayde
to
King
Pyrrhe
in
Cypres
,
Pyrrhe
the
King
.
and
to
Demetre
in
Peloponnese
.
Howbeit
,
Demetre
was
so
occupied
about
the
estate
and
affaires
of
Peloponnese
,
when
the
Ambassadoures
of
Alexander
came
,
that
he
could
by
no
meane
helpe
him
.
In
the
meane
tyme
Pyrrhe
with
a
mightie
power
came
thyther
:
in
recompence
of
his
aide
and
charge
,
tooke
possession
of
so
large
a
piece
of
that
countrey
of
Macedone
,
ioyning
to
his
realme
of
Epyre
,
that
Alexander
greatly
dreaded
him
.
And
while
he
aboade
in
this
feare
,
he
was
aduertised
that
Demetre
(
whose
helpe
he
had
before
required
)
was
with
his
whole
armie
comming
thyther
to
ayde
him
:
whereuppon
he
considering
his
authoritie
and
great
renowme
,
and
the
worthinesse
of
his
déedes
and
actes
,
for
whiche
he
was
honoured
and
had
in
great
admiration
of
the
whole
worlde
,
did
nowe
more
than
before
feare
his
estate
,
if
he
entred
hys
realme
.
Wherefore
he
went
to
méete
him
,
whome
at
their
first
méeting
,
he
right
courteouslie
and
honorably
entreated
,
greatly
thanking
him
of
his
curtesie
&
trauel
,
in
that
he
would
leaue
his
owne
affaires
of
great
importaunce
,
and
with
so
mightie
an
armie
to
come
and
ayde
him
.
He
farther
told
him
,
that
he
had
already
well
quieted
and
established
hys
affaires
and
estate
,
so
that
he
should
not
néede
any
farther
to
trauaill
.
Neuerthelesse
,
he
thought
him
so
much
bound
,
as
if
he
had
come
at
his
first
sending
for
,
or
that
al
things
by
his
meane
had
bene
appeased
and
quieted
.
To
these
wordes
Demetre
curteouslie
aunswered
,
that
he
was
of
his
quietnesse
right
glad
,
and
that
he
had
now
no
néede
of
his
helpe
,
besides
many
other
louing
and
gentle
wordes
,
whiche
gréeting
ended
,
eyther
of
them
for
that
night
returned
into
hys
Pauilion
.
During
this
time
arose
such
matters
betwen
them
,
that
the
one
greatly
suspected
the
other
:
For
as
Demetre
was
by
Alexander
bidden
to
supper
,
he
was
willed
to
take
good
héed
to
him
,
bycause
that
Alexander
had
practized
by
treason
to
slea
him
.
Notwithstanding
he
by
no
meane
shewed
any
contenaunce
of
mistrust
,
but
ment
to
go
to
the
banquet
,
to
whose
lodging
Alexander
was
comming
,
to
bring
him
on
his
way
,
but
he
diuersly
detracted
the
time
,
&
went
a
soft
and
treatable
pace
,
to
the
end
his
souldiors
might
haue
leasure
to
arme
them
,
and
commaunded
his
gard
being
a
greater
number
than
Alexanders
,
to
enter
with
him
,
and
also
to
wayte
néere
his
person
.
When
Alexanders
Souldiours
sée
them
the
weaker
companie
,
they
durst
not
once
attempt
it
.
And
after
they
hadde
supped
,
bycause
Demetre
woulde
haue
some
honest
occasion
to
departe
,
he
fayned
him
to
be
something
yll
disposed
in
his
body
,
and
therfore
forth
with
tooke
leaue
of
Alexander
,
and
went
thence
.
The
nexte
day
in
the
morning
Demetre
fayning
that
he
had
receyued
certen
newes
,
sent
word
vnto
him
that
he
was
aduertised
of
matters
of
great
importaunce
,
that
he
must
of
necessitie
with
hys
armie
returne
into
Peloponnese
,
praying
Alexander
to
haue
him
excused
.
Neuerthelesse
,
he
offred
him
his
ayde
and
helpe
,
whensoeuer
he
néeded
,
and
desired
him
to
vse
him
as
one
in
whom
he
might
repose
and
put
his
whole
trust
.
With
whiche
message
the
yong
Alexander
,
who
greatly
doubted
him
before
he
came
,
and
muche
more
after
hys
comming
,
was
nowe
maruellous
gladde
that
of
hys
owne
accorde
he
returned
out
of
his
Realme
and
Dominions
.
And
bycause
he
would
better
let
him
vnderstande
some
signe
of
the
acknowledging
of
his
good
will
and
loue
,
he
accompanied
him
into
Thessaly
.
But
after
they
were
arriued
in
the
citie
of
Larisse
,
Larisse
.
they
a
freshe
began
to
practise
new
treasons
one
against
an
other
.
And
firste
,
Alexander
to
put
Demetre
quite
out
of
suspicion
,
withoute
armoure
or
garde
visited
him
,
hoping
to
make
him
do
the
like
,
but
he
was
in
his
so
thinking
greatly
deceyued
.
And
as
Alexander
one
night
,
according
to
his
accustomed
woonte
,
came
to
supper
to
Demetre
without
company
,
and
that
they
were
in
the
chief
of
their
supper
,
Demetre
sodenly
arose
from
the
table
,
whereat
Alexander
was
so
sore
abashed
,
that
he
arose
and
followed
him
to
the
Haldore
.
But
so
soone
as
Demetre
was
withoute
,
he
gaue
signe
&
token
to
his
Souldiours
,
who
incontinent
fell
vppon
Alexander
and
slewe
him
and
certen
of
his
men
whiche
would
haue
defended
him
,
among
whome
one
as
he
was
killed
,
saide
,
Demetre
hath
preuented
vs
but
a
daye
onely
.
With
this
slaughter
were
the
Macedonians
all
that
night
and
the
next
daye
in
the
morning
maruelously
astonied
,
and
in
great
feare
.
For
séeing
to
oultrage
was
to
no
purpose
,
and
that
Demetre
after
Alexander
his
death
was
very
strong
to
bring
his
purpose
to
passe
:
before
they
vnderstood
what
he
would
do
,
they
durst
not
trust
him
,
nor
yeld
,
vntill
such
time
as
Demetre
sent
to
them
certen
of
his
men
,
which
in
his
behalfe
sayde
,
that
they
néeded
not
to
feare
him
,
for
it
was
not
his
will
to
do
them
any
hurte
,
but
prayed
them
to
come
to
him
,
and
then
he
woulde
shewe
them
a
good
reason
why
he
hadde
done
that
he
dyd
.
Whereupon
the
Macedonians
ioyed
that
they
were
deliuered
of
that
feare
and
daunger
.
Wherfore
they
went
all
togyther
vnto
him
,
and
without
gyuing
eare
or
attending
his
oration
,
salued
him
as
their
King
,
and
néedes
would
bring
him
into
Macedon
.
Of
this
chaunge
was
all
the
countrey
maruelous
glad
:
for
they
so
mortally
hated
Cassander
,
for
the
cruell
facts
and
great
villanies
,
by
hym
(
against
the
great
King
Alexander
and
his
ligne
after
his
death
)
committed
,
and
also
for
the
great
oultrage
and
impious
murder
whiche
Antipater
,
Cassander
his
sonne
had
vsed
towards
his
mother
Thessalonicke
,
that
they
desired
nothing
so
much
,
as
a
new
King
.
By
reason
whereof
,
Demetre
was
of
al
the
Macedonians
generally
well
liked
.
Ageyne
,
his
wife
Phile
and
the
children
he
had
by
hir
,
so
much
renewed
&
liuely
reuyued
the
Image
and
likenesse
of
the
good
olde
Antipater
hir
father
,
that
they
reputed
Demetre
the
verie
true
,
and
vndoubted
successour
and
heire
to
the
sayde
Realme
.
¶
Seleuke
through
a
fatherly
loue
,
remitteth
to
Antioche
his
sonne
,
his
owne
wife
Stratonice
,
daughter
to
Demetre
,
and
gyueth
to
them
in
title
and
name
of
the

.
The
.v.
Chapter
.
THe
same
season
that
these
things
were
exployted
in
Madecone
,
Demetre
had
newes
that
his
wife
&
children
,
besieged
at
Salamine
,
were
by
Ptolome
deliuered
and
with
great
honours
and
presentes
sent
awaye
.
And
soone
after
,
it
was
throughout
al
the
coastes
of
Asie
bruted
,
that
Stratonice
Demetre
his
daughter
,
Stratonice
.
whome
Seleuke
had
married
,
was
diuorsed
,
and
espoused
to
Antioche
his
sonne
:
and
therfore
by
the
people
of
the
heir
Prouinces
,
receyued
and
named
Quéene
,
as
followeth
.
While
Antioche
laye
and
aboade
in
the
house
,
and
companie
of
Seleuke
his
father
,
he
so
muche
haunted
and
frequented
the
companie
of
Stratonice
his
mother
in
law
,
being
then
yong
,
maruelous
faire
and
beautifull
:
and
had
had
also
a
childe
by
the
sayde
Seleuke
:
in
processe
of
time
became
so
enamoured
and
rauished
,
that
daye
and
night
his
mynde
wholy
ranne
on
hir
:
whereby
he
was
so
troubled
&
fel
into
such
weakenesse
,
y●
to
euery
mans
sight
he
dried
and
consumed
awaye
:
and
so
muche
the
more
gréeued
it
him
,
bicause
what
for
shame
,
as
also
for
the
reuerence
and
naturall
loue
he
bare
his
Father
,
he
durst
neuer
discouer
it
to
any
in
the
worlde
.
Wherfore
séeing
his
maladie
dayly
vexe
and
trouble
him
,
and
no
hope
of
remedie
,
he
to
be
deliuered
of
that
so
gréeuous
a
martirdome
,
tooke
vppon
him
a
quicke
dispatche
,
more
necessarie
than
holsome
.
He
determined
to
feine
hym
sicke
,
and
vnder
that
colour
,
to
absteyne
from
meate
,
whereby
to
being
him selfe
so
féeble
and
weake
,
that
as
then
death
must
followe
.
But
after
Erasistrate
,
Erasistrate
.
at
those
days
a
great
Doctor
in
Phisicke
whome
Seleuke
before
all
other
had
sent
for
to
cure
his
sonne
,
by
his
statue
&
other
wayes
well
considered
what
disease
this
yong
Prince
might
haue
,
he
at
last
apperceiued
it
only
to
proceede
of
loue
,
but
for
whome
he
knew
not
.
Wherefore
he
diligently
and
circumspectly
marked
and
noted
al
the
partes
of
his
body
,
which
are
woont
to
moue
when
a
man
in
amours
,
séeth
that
he
loueth
:
And
with
great
care
,
watched
when
he
sée
any
of
the
yong
and
faire
Ladies
&
Damosels
of
the
house
come
to
visite
him
.
But
he
could
by
no
meanes
perceyue
,
that
for
any
of
them
who
often
had
recourse
vnto
him
(
as
it
had
ben
moste
reason
)
that
eyther
he
moued
or
chaunged
his
countenaunce
,
but
only
when
Stratonice
entred
with
Seleuke
.
And
then
he
was
so
sodenly
taken
,
that
he
(
as
it
were
)
loste
hys
speache
,
waxed
very
red
,
his
pulse
vehemently
beat
,
a
fine
and
subtill
sweat
running
throughout
all
his
body
,
and
in
effect
appeared
in
him
all
the
accidentes
that
men
gather
to
be
in
them
,
which
are
in
loue
:
and
after
by
little
and
little
lost
his
senses
,
waxing
very
pale
and
wanne
ouer
all
the
body
.
By
these
signes
knewe
Erasistrate
clerely
,
that
it
was
Stratonice
whom
the
yong
Prince
loued
,
and
none
other
.
Notwithstanding
,
fearing
the
angre
and
displeasure
of●
his
father
,
and
the
daunger
he
might
incurre
,
if
he
discouered
the
case
:
determined
rather
to
leaue
the
sonne
in
that
daunger
,
whatsoeuer
should
come
on
him
,
than
to
open
the
secret
to
the
Father
,
and
putte
his
persone
and
life
in
hazard
.
Howbeit
,
after
certen
dayes
,
when
he
see
the
great
loue
that
Seleuke
bare
hys
sonne
,
and
the
malancolie
he
was
in
daye
and
night
for
his
sicknesse
,
he
determined
to
bord
and
tel
him
,
and
by
some
subtill
meane
and
swéet
vaine
,
to
feed
his
humour
,
concerning
his
sonne
.
Wherfore
one
daye
he
came
vnto
him
,
and
spake
in
this
sorte
:
Knowe
Sir
King
,
that
the
mortall
dysease
which
infesteth
thy
sonne
,
is
no
dysease
in
the
bodye
,
whatsoeuer
they
saye
,
but
only
an
ardent
desire
in
loue
.
And
paraduenture
it
were
better
for
me
to
hold
my
peace
,
A
sage
&
wise
medicine
.
and
kéepe
it
close
,
than
to
reueale
and
tell
it
thée
,
considering
there
is
for
him
no
remedy
.
Whereat
King
Seleuke
all
astonied
and
abashed
of
the
matter
,
said
vnto
him
.
Now
I
praye
thée
(
my
friend
)
tell
me
●
ow
the
case
standeth
.
And
if
my
sonne
haue
none
other
dysease
but
amoures
,
is
it
not
possible
to
find
remedie
?
Are
we
so
vnprouided
of
wyt
and
wealth
,
that
we
can
no
waye
remedie
it
?
Finallie
after
long
talke
betwene
them
,
Erasistrate
feining
him
to
be
sore
troubled
,
said
:
Know
Sir
King
,
that
it
is
my
wyfe
,
on
whom
he
is
enamoured
.
Whiche
wordes
Seleuke
hearing
,
with
warme
teares
trickling
down
hys
chéekes
,
embraced
&
instauntly
desired
him
to
helpe
that
poore
yong
man
and
not
suffer
him
wilfully
to
perishe
,
considering
it
was
he
in
whome
consisted
all
his
ioye
and
hope
,
to
whome
the
whole
realme
should
lineally
descend
,
and
in
whome
all
the
people
and
nations
vnder
his
subiection
,
hadde
their
expectation
and
hope
.
And
that
after
his
death
there
remayned
for
him
none
other
comforte
,
but
likewise
present
death
,
without
redemption
.
Certes
Sir
King
(
quod
Erasistrate
)
you
speake
this
all
on
pleasure
,
but
admit
he
were
as
amorous
of
Stratonice
,
as
he
is
of
my
wife
,
peraduenture
you
would
then
be
of
an
other
opinion
.
Now
I
would
it
pleased
the
Goddes
(
quod
Seleuke
)
it
were
so
,
and
that
I
could
alter
and
chaunge
that
loue
of
thy
wife
to
myne
.
For
I
take
all
the
Goddes
to
witnesse
,
that
if
all
the
things
whiche
I
holde
moste
déere
in
this
world
were
togyther
,
I
would
gyue
them
al
for
the
sauegard
of
my
sonnes
life
.
Then
Erasistrate
seeing
hys
maruelous
affection
and
wéeping
so
tenderly
,
tooke
him
by
the
hande
and
began
thus
to
saye
:
Nowe
haste
thou
Sir
King
no
more
néede
of
my
ayde
,
for
being
a
King
,
married
,
and
a
Father
as
thou
arte
,
thou
mayste
be
the
right
medecine
and
cure
of
thy
familie
,
bicause
that
for
trueth
,
The
maruelous
loue
of
a
Father
.
it
is
not
my
wife
whome
thy
sonne
loueth
,
but
thyne
owne
:
with
these
wordes
was
Seleuke
much
abashed
,
as
of
a
very
new
and
strange
thing
.
And
thereupon
prayed
Erasistrate
to
declare
vnto
him
the
whole
estate
and
circumstaunce
of
the
matter
,
and
howe
●
e
knew
it
.
And
after
he
vnderstood
that
for
childishe
reuerence
Antioche
chose
rather
to
die
than
discouer
his
fond
loue
,
he
was
moued
with
so
great
pitie
,
that
he
determined
all
he
might
to
saue
him
.
Whereuppon
immediatly
he
assembled
al
his
people
,
and
after
he
had
with
many
faire
and
gracious
wordes
persuaded
them
,
he
declared
that
it
was
his
will
and
ordinaunce
,
that
Antioche
his
sonne
should
espouse
Stratonice
his
wife
,
and
that
they
shoulde
haue
in
the
title
and
name
of
the
Realme
,
all
the
hier
Prouinces
:
thinking
it
vnreasonable
to
gainesaye
hys
sonne
in
that
,
who
neuer
to
him
in
any
thing
hadde
ben
disobedient
.
And
so
by
aduenture
Stratonice
his
wife
made
therof
some
difficultie
,
&
thought
it
verie
straunge
:
wherefore
he
prayed
all
hir
friendes
and
familiars
,
to
persuade
hir
,
to
obey
his
will
and
pleasure
,
and
farther
,
to
saye
that
all
things
which
he
had
ordeined
were
good
,
iuste
,
and
reasonable
.
In
this
sorte
was
the
marriage
made
,
and
soone
after
,
with
al
the
greatest
ioye
&
pompe
of
the
world
,
celebrated
.

Demetre

,
and
chaseth

out
of

.
The
.vj.
Chapter
.
WHen
Demetre
in
this
season
hadde
obtayned
all
Macedone
and
Thessalie
,
and
many
cities
in
Peloponnese
,
Isthmus
,
Athens
,
and
Megare
,
he
was
not
yet
satisfied
and
content
,
but
determined
to
warre
vpon
the
Beotians
.
Howbeit
,
that
was
no
enterprise
,
either
long
and
difficile
.
For
after
the
Beotians
were
aduertized
of
his
comming
,
they
came
and
desired
him
of
peace
,
and
concluded
vppon
suche
conditions
as
him
liked
,
albeit
against
their
willes
.
Cleonyme
.
Whereupon
Cleonyme
King
of
Sparte
,
came
soone
after
from
Thebes
with
great
power
,
and
had
gotten
to
his
alliaunce
Piside
the
Thespian
,
Piside
.
a
man
greatly
renowmed
,
and
done
many
notable
exploites
,
whereupon
the
Beotians
waxed
so
proud
,
that
they
rebelled
against
Demetre
,
who
being
thereof
aduertised
,
determined
sodenly
to
come
vppon
them
and
so
to
chastise
their
infidelitie
and
inconstancie
.
Wherfore
he
incontinent
departed
with
those
armed
men
he
had
,
and
besieged
the
citie
of
Thebes
.
Thebes
.
And
sodenly
planted
his
engines
of
battery
against
the
weakest
places
of
the
wal
:
whereat
the
Townes
men
were
greatly
astonied
,
in
so
much
that
Cleonyme
of
Sparte
stoale
awaye
and
fledde
:
wherevpon
the
Thebanes
were
in
such
feare
,
that
they
sent
their
Ambassadoures
towards
Demetre
,
remitting
the
citie
and
Citizens
at
his
commaundement
,
praying
him
to
remember
hys
benignitie
and
clemencie
,
wherin
he
surmounted
all
other
Princes
.
In
this
sorte
rendred
they
,
whome
he
no
whit
hurte
,
but
exacted
on
them
great
summes
of
money
,
thruste
garrisons
into
their
Townes
,
and
left
Ierome
the
Historian
his
Lieutenaunt
,
Ierome
the
Historian
.
in
that
Countrey
.
And
thus
shewed
he
(
according
to
his
old
accustomed
manner
)
hys
debonaire
and
curtesie
towardes
the
rebelles
.
Great
bountie
of
a
King
.
But
especially
towardes
Pyside
the
Thespian
,
who
being
his
prisoner
gently
entreated
him
,
and
after
with
great
and
large
giftes
rewarded
him
,
and
gaue
him
charge
of
his
Souldiours
in
the
quarter
of
Thespie
,
of
which
countrey
he
was
.
Shortly
after
that
these
things
were
done
in
Beoce
,
newes
came
to
Demetre
,
Dromichete
.
how
that
Lysimache
was
by
Dromichete
taken
prisoner
,
whereupon
he
thinking
that
to
be
an
excellent
occasion
,
and
good
opportunitie
for
him
to
exploite
great
and
waightie
matters
,
went
in
all
spéed
with
such
power
as
he
could
readily
leaue
into
the
Countrey
of
Thrace
.
And
at
his
first
comming
,
he
besieged
a
forte
and
very
riche
Towne
of
the
same
Countrey
:
whiche
Forte
and
Towne
at
the
first
,
practized
and
deuised
to
render
vnto
him
,
but
when
newes
on
euery
side
came
to
him
,
that
the
Beotians
ageyne
rebelled
,
and
that
Dromichete
hadde
deliuered
and
released
Lysimache
,
he
was
thereat
abashed
and
sore
despited
with
the
commotion
of
the
Beotians
.
Wherefore
he
incontinent
departed
thence
,
and
in
so
short
tyme
as
was
possible
,
returned
into
Grece
,
to
chastise
them
:
but
before
he
could
get
thyther
,
he
was
aduertised
,
Antigone
had
in
battaill
vanquished
them
all
:
and
that
they
greatly
repented
and
bewailed
their
rebellion
.
Of
which
newes
he
was
maruelous
glad
,
and
chiefly
that
his
sonne
hadde
wonne
the
victorie
.
And
to
execute
and
consummate
hys
enterprise
,
he
continued
his
iorney
to
besiege
the
citie
of
Thebes
.
But
in
the
meane
time
,
he
was
aduertised
that
Phyrrhe
King
of
Epyre
was
in
armes
entred
Thessaly
,
and
hadde
robbed
and
spoyled
the
Countrey
vnto
the
citie
of
Thermopile
.
Wherefore
he
left
his
sonne
at
the
siege
of
Thebes
with
one
parte
of
hys
Souldiours
:
and
hym selfe
with
the
rest
,
made
great
spéede
into
Thessaly
,
and
at
hys
first
comming
,
made
Pyrrhe
soone
retier
to
the
strong
passages
and
forsake
the
playne
countrey
.
Which
done
,
he
left
in
that
countrey
for
the
garde
thereof
a
thousand
horsse
,
and
.x.
thousand
footemen
,
and
with
the
remnaunt
returned
to
the
siege
of
Thebes
,
where
he
caused
to
be
brought
and
planted
that
maruelous
engine
aforesayd
,
named
the
beater
downe
of
Cities
,
albeit
it
séemed
he
coulde
not
in
long
tyme
do
it
,
bicause
the
engine
was
of
such
poise
and
waight
,
that
it
could
scarsely
be
drawen
in
two
monethes
the
space
of
two
furlongs
.
When
the
Thebanes
had
considered
their
fault
and
oultrage
committed
against
Demetre
,
they
determined
to
stande
to
their
defence
euen
to
the
last
man
,
bycause
they
hoped
or
looked
for
no
mercie
at
his
handes
.
And
he
ageyn
was
fully
persuaded
,
to
spare
for
no
cost
,
but
that
he
woulde
winne
it
,
more
for
to
be
of
them
reuenged
,
than
for
any
gayne
or
profit
he
loked
for
,
for
the
losse
was
muche
greater
than
the
gayne
or
commoditie
,
bicause
the
more
parte
of
the
lustiest
&
most
valiaunt
souldiours
,
with
ouermuch
aduenturing
to
assault
the
strongest
and
most
disaduantagious
places
of
the
citie
,
were
many
times
slaine
.
Wherefore
Antigone
,
séeing
the
losse
of
so
many
braue
and
couragious
Souldiours
,
came
to
his
Father
,
and
with
great
méekenesse
and
humblenesse
of
mynd
,
in
this
maner
said
vnto
him
:
To
what
purpose
(
good
father
)
are
at
these
lustie
and
valiaunt
Souldiours
dayly
forced
to
hazard
them selues
to
suche
slaughter
for
a
thing
whereof
will
arise
no
gaine
or
emolument
?
Whome
Demetre
all
in
a
rage
aunswered
:
Why
arte
thou
(
quod
he
)
so
carefull
of
thy selfe
,
séeing
there
are
suche
a
numbre
of
men
betwene
thée
and
thy
daunger
?
And
bycause
hys
Souldiours
should
well
knowe
that
he
would
not
haue
them
hazard
farther
than
he
him selfe
would
endaunger
him
:
He
one
daye
amongst
the
thickest
,
and
with
the
foremost
came
to
the
assault
,
where
he
nobly
and
valyauntly
bare
him
,
but
in
the
ende
to
openly
approching
the
wall
,
he
was
by
the
Townesmen
with
the
blow
of
a
stone
hurte
,
and
although
he
felt
with
the
blowe
,
great
anguishe
and
payne
,
yet
neuer
ceased
he
from
the
assault
,
but
with
much
greater
courage
than
before
,
exhorted
his
Souldiours
valiauntlie
to
stand
to
it
,
whereuppon
they
waxed
so
hardy
and
bold
,
séeing
their
King
there
in
person
to
leade
them
the
waye
,
that
through
their
great
vertue
and
prowesse
,
they
by
force
entred
the
Citie
,
and
so
tooke
it
:
whereat
the
Citizens
were
in
maruelous
feare
,
looking
for
none
other
mercie
,
but
that
he
woulde
make
great
slaughter
of
them
,
and
after
spoyle
&
burn
them
,
and
neuer
leaue
doing
of
any
mischief
whiche
might
be
deuised
.
The
great
humanitie
and
mercifulnesse
of
a
King
.
But
he
contrarie
to
the
iudgement
and
expectation
of
all
the
worlde
,
caused
but
.xij.
to
be
executed
,
sent
a
numbre
in
exile
,
and
left
the
rest
entier
&
whole
.
Thus
was
the
citie
of
Thebes
in
ten
yeares
by
Demetre
twise
taken
and
subdued

considering

would
more
preuayle

left

one
of

to
gard

kept
it
:

with

ouer

Panthauke
calling
oute
&
vrging
Pyrrhe
to
fight
with
him
body
to
body
,
he
willingly
accepted
the
offer
:
and
in
viewe
&
sight
of
both
the
armies
,
very
brauely
encountred
:
and
after
he
had
receyued
one
wounde
,
he
gaue
Panthauke
two
,
finally
vanquished
him
,
and
therewith
put
his
armie
to
flight
.
Whereupon
Pyrrhe
got
him
not
so
muche
hatred
and
euill
will
of
the
Macedonians
,
whome
he
had
vanquished
,
as
he
for
this
victorie
wanne
honour
and
admiration
,
bycause
all
men
wondred
and
were
abashed
at
his
vertue
and
valiauntnesse
.
Wherefore
they
sayde
it
was
he
amongs
al
the
rest
of
the
Kings
,
which
should
renue
the
vertue
and
courage
inuincible
of
Alexander
the
great
.
And
that
the
reste
all
inflamed
with
honour
and
prodigalitie
,
and
enuironned
with
Souldiours
,
alwayes
went
accompanied
with
whores
,
and
minstrels
,
as
common
daunsers
.
And
amongs
them
was
none
other
controuersie
,
but
who
shoulde
surmounte
other
in
pompe
,
deceipt
,
and
vaine
glorie
.
And
that
was
spoken
by
Demetre
,
who
(
as
they
saide
)
dyd
not
onely
weare
a
Crowne
royall
,
and
robes
of
crymosin
tynsell
,
but
also
shoes
of
golde
.
It
was
also
said
that
he
caused
a
robe
to
be
made
like
vnto
heauen
,
with
starres
in
it
,
a
verie
curious
&
sumptuous
worke
,
which
fashion
he
there
long
tyme
ware
,
but
the
alteration
and
chaunge
thereof
remained
imperfect
.
And
neuer
before
or
since
was
any
King
of
Macedone
,
were
he
neuer
so
proude
and
pompous
,
that
once
durste
enterprise
or
take
on
hande
to
cause
such
a
garment
to
be
made
to
weare
.
These
things
abouesayd
greatly
troubled
the
Macedonians
,
yet
were
there
other
fashions
that
Demetre
vsed
,
which
more
misliked
than
,
both
for
his
straungenesse
in
gyuing
audience
,
as
also
for
his
hie
and
stoute
annsweres
,
besides
the
ceremonie
and
grauitie
intollerable
.
But
one
thing
amongs
other
whiche
is
talked
&
noted
of
hym
,
was
that
he
helde
and
kept
the
Ambassadoures
of
Athens
two
whole
yeares
,
being
more
his
friendes
than
any
of
the
rest
of
Grece
,
and
made
them
follow
him
which
waye
so
euer
he
went
,
without
any
dispatche
:
and
in
the
end
departed
from
him
in
as
great
hatred
as
they
came
.
Another
time
was
an
Orator
sent
to
him
from
the
Lacedemonians
,
wherat
he
maruelously
grudged
,
thinking
they
estéemed
him
not
,
for
sending
of
so
simple
an
Ambassadoure
.
Wherefore
he
wonderfully
reuiled
&
with
minatory
words
menaced
them
,
and
after
turning
his
talke
to
the
Orator
said
:
And
arte
thou
he
whome
the
Lacedemonians
haue
sent
hyther
alone
?
Whome
the
Orator
very
gently
aunswered
:
yea
for
so
the
Sir
King
to
thée
alone
.
Another
time
also
,
when
he
hadde
caused
it
to
be
published
,
that
he
would
giue
attentiue
audience
to
all
suters
:
a
numbre
of
people
at
the
day
appointed
came
with
many
supplications
,
and
deliuered
them
to
him
in
writing
,
whiche
he
verie
curteously
receyued
,
and
put
them
in
the
skirte
of
his
gowne
,
but
at
hys
departing
thence
,
going
ouer
the
bridge
of
the
Riuer
Axie
,
in
the
sight
of
all
those
whiche
had
put
vp
and
giuen
him
their
supplications
,
The
ryuer
Axie
.
and
followed
for
aunswer
,
he
caste
them
all
in
the
ryuer
,
whereat
the
Macedonians
were
greatly
offended
and
discontent
.
For
they
thought
it
not
the
office
and
honour
of
a
King
of
hie
and
noble
courage
,
nor
yet
a
good
officer
,
but
rather
of
a
iester
and
deceyuer
of
the
people
,
and
of
one
who
made
no
accompt
of
iustice
.
And
a
great
deale
the
more
thought
the
Macedonians
it
straunge
,
for
that
they
hadde
vnderstoode
of
their
auncesters
,
the
great
curtesie
and
facilitie
that
King
Phillip
,
father
to
Alexander
the
great
,
vsed
in
gyuing
audience
to
his
subiects
.
It
happened
one
daye
aboute
the
same
season
,
that
a
poore
woman
comming
to
Demetre
,
&
desiring
him
to
heare
hir
,
he
aunswering
that
he
was
not
at
leysure
,
A
good
&
holsome
document
for
a
King
.
she
ageyne
with
loude
voyce
replied
and
saide
:
Then
oughtest
thou
not
to
reigne
.
Which
wordes
well
considered
and
reuolued
in
his
mynde
,
at
last
constreyned
him
to
giue
good
and
gracious
audience
to
his
people
.
And
truely
there
is
no
one
thing
in
the
worlde
that
so
well
apperteyneth
and
is
so
propre
to
a
King
,
as
to
be
at
leisure
and
attent
to
iustice
.
For
as
the
Philosopher
Timothey
sayeth
:
Tymothey
.
Mars
is
a
Tyraunt
:
and
according
to
the
iudgement
of
the
Poet
Pyndare
:
●●
ndare
.
The
Lawe
is
king
ouer
al.
Homere
also
sayeth
:
●
omere
.
that
Kings
and
Princes
reciued
not
of
God
engines
and
such
other
warlike
instruments
,
to
batter
and
ouerthrow
walles
and
Bulwarkes
of
Cities
,
but
iustice
:
and
to
exercise
&
vse
that
for
the
preseruation
of
their
people
and
subiectes
.
Therfore
the
saide
Poet
calleth
not
that
King
a
good
disciple
of
God
which
is
cruell
and
fierce
,
but
commendeth
him
which
is
gentle
and
iust
.
And
for
trueth
,
Demetre
delited
in
a
name
and
Title
more
agreable
to
the
great
God
Iuppiter
,
than
méete
or
apperteyning
to
him
.
For
he
would
be
called
the
Garden
and
conseruator
of
Cities
,
and
also
the
ouerthrower
and
destroyer
of
them
.
Wherefore
it
is
oftentimes
séene
,
that
villanie
and
wickednesse
,
entring
the
house
of
honour
and
honestie
,
and
fauoured
of
the
vulger
opinion
and
ignoraunce
of
the
people
,
vsurpeth
the
name
and
title
of
dignitie
and
renoume
.
¶
King
Pyrrhe
entring
the
countrey
of
Macedone
,
is
by
Demetre
expulsed
.
And
after
,
Demetre
raiseth
a
mightie
power
to
recouer
his
Fathers
realme

And
going
ageyne
to
encountre
Pyrrhe
,
who
was
entred
Macedone
,
is
throughe
the
mutinie
of
the
Macedonians
enforced
to
flie
,
and
after
of
the
deuision
of
the
realme
betwene
Pyrrhe
and
Lysimache
.
The
.viij.
Chapter
.
SHortly
after
these
matters
aforesayd
,
when
it
was
blowen
abroad
and
come
to
Pyrrhe
his
eare
,
that
Demetre
was
sore
sicke
in
the
citie
of
Pelle
,
Pelle
.
he
thought
he
hadde
then
good
occasion
to
occupie
and
enioy
the
realme
of
Macedone
.
Wherefore
he
sodenly
assembled
the
greatest
numbre
of
Souldiours
he
could
gette
,
and
with
great
hostilitie
entred
the
sayd
countrey
,
robbing
and
wasting
all
he
encountred
,
euen
to
the
citie
of
Edisse
,
Edisse
.
bycause
none
came
against
him
.
Nowe
was
the
estate
of
Demetre
in
great
daunger
,
after
he
was
cured
of
that
maladie
.
Notwithstanding
he
caused
hys
captaynes
to
assemble
hys
whole
armie
,
to
encountre
King
Pyrrhe
,
who
understanding
of
their
comming
,
retired
in
great
hast
out
of
the
countrey
of
Macedone
.
And
shortly
after
Demetre
concluded
a
peace
with
him
,
fearing
,
that
being
his
néere
neyghbour
,
a
valiaunt
and
Martiall
man
,
he
might
for
the
execution
of
hys
other
enterprises
of
greater
importaunce
,
much
hinder
him
.
For
he
thought
the
time
was
come
,
that
he
might
to
his
great
honoure
and
glorie
,
recouer
the
Realme
whiche
hys
Father
not
long
before
had
lost
,
which
was
the
greatest
thing
of
the
whole
world
that
he
considered
and
thought
on
.
Wherfore
,
minding
nothing
else
but
the
execution
thereof
,
bycause
he
knew
it
very
hard
,
leuied
in
short
tyme
aboue
a
hundred
thousand
footemen
,
and
.x.
thousande
horsse
,
besides
a
Nauie
of
.v.
hundred
sayle
,
A
terrible
power
.
which
with
maruelous
spéede
had
come
out
of
diuerse
places
.
Firste
,
he
caused
some
of
the
kéeles
and
bottomes
to
be
built
,
in
Pyre
,
Calchide
and
Pelle
:
and
after
went
him self
to
those
places
,
to
gyue
order
for
the
finishing
of
them
:
so
that
by
hys
wisedome
and
industrie
they
were
in
fewe
dayes
made
an
end
of
,
armed
,
apparelled
,
and
furnished
ready
to
sea
.
Whereat
all
the
worlde
wondred
,
&
not
at
the
shippes
alone
,
but
at
the
straungenesse
of
the
workmanship
and
buylding
.
For
he
had
there
which
excéeded
in
bignesse
al
those
that
euer
were
séene
,
euen
those
of
.xv.
and
.xvj.
tier
of
ores
on
a
side
,
then
thought
very
straunge
.
But
after
,
Ptolome
King
of
Egipt
,
Ptolome
.
surnamed
Philopater
●
made
one
of
.xl.
tier
on
a
side
,
Philopater
.
whiche
in
greatnesse
excéeded
all
those
that
euer
were
seene
.
For
it
was
by
the
kéele
two
hundred
and
foure
score
cubits
,
and
from
the
kéele
to
the
netting
.xlviij.
For
nauigation
whereof
were
appointed
.iiij.
thousand
men
to
rowe
,
An
horrible
great
Gallie
.
&
for
sayling
,
thrée
hundred
marryners
.
There
were
also
laid
in
,
aboute
foure
thousand
armoures
,
to
arme
them
aboue
.
The
Uessell
was
so
ponderous
,
that
they
had
much
ado
to
styrre
it
,
built
more
for
the
shew
,
and
to
be
maruelled
at
,
than
for
any
seruice
.
But
to
returne
to
Demetre
his
Nauie
,
they
were
not
onely
maruelous
great
and
full
of
good
workmanship
,
but
also
the
vse
of
them
where
for
the
warres
méete
and
necessarie
.
At
this
great
preparation
,
wherof
the
like
was
not
sene
since
the
time
of
Alexander
,
were
Ptolome
,
Seleuke
and
Lysimache
,
greatly
astonied
,
and
therefore
they
lincked
togyther
to
resist
him
.
They
also
sent
by
a
common
accorde
towardes
King
Pyrrhe
,
persuading
him
to
warre
in
Macedone
,
declaring
that
the
peace
which
Demetre
had
made
with
him
,
was
to
none
other
ende
,
but
to
amase
him
,
that
he
in
the
meane
time
might
vanquishe
the
other
Kings
,
and
so
consequently
destroye
all
at
hys
pleasure
.
And
in
effecte
,
that
was
a
fire
to
burne
al
the
whole
world
in
order
,
if
it
were
not
in
good
season
extinquished
:
and
therfore
that
they
all
with
one
consent
,
should
ioyne
and
linke
togyther
to
resist
him
,
their
common
enimie
,
who
in
mind
hadde
conceyued
to
subdue
all
Asie
and
Europe
.
Throughe
these
persuasions
Pyrrhe
moued
to
his
alliaunce
,
and
to
the
otheir
kings
being
ioyned
togyther
(
to
take
their
whole
force
against
Demetre
)
maruellous
warres
on
al
partes
were
arrered
against
him
,
before
he
was
fully
furnished
and
ready
.
For
all
at
one
instaunt
,
to
wete
,
Ptolome
with
a
great
Nauie
and
armie
went
to
sea
,
to
inuade
&
perce
Grece
,
and
Pyrrhe
and
Lysimache
Macedone
,
to
saye
Lysimache
on
the
coast
of
Thrase
,
and
the
other
on
his
owne
coast
in
the
countrey
of
Epyre
ioyning
vpon
Macedone
.
When
Demetre
had
notice
of
these
things
,
he
sent
hys
sonne
into
Grece
with
one
parte
of
his
armie
to
gard
it
,
and
he
with
the
rest
went
into
Macedone
.
And
firste
he
marched
into
that
quarter
,
where
Lysimache
was
entred
.
But
before
he
came
there
,
he
had
newes
how
Pyrrhe
by
force
hadde
taken
the
citie
of
Bery
,
and
burnt
and
wasted
all
the
countrey
round
about
:
with
which
news
the
Macedonians
were
sore
vexed
and
troubled
,
that
there
arose
great
tumulte
and
mutenie
,
with
wéeping
,
wayling
,
maledictions
,
&
cursing
ageinst
Demetre
,
throughoute
the
whole
armie
.
Whereuppon
many
vnder
colour
,
for
the
defence
of
their
houses
,
children
and
parentes
,
came
to
him
and
prayed
leaue
to
departe
,
but
their
meaning
was
to
yeld
to
Lysimache
:
whiche
thing
Demetre
well
apperceyued
,
and
therfore
determined
he
not
to
come
néere
Lysimache
,
whome
he
knew
the
Macedonians
both
for
his
noblenesse
and
familiaritie
vsed
to
a
numbre
of
them
in
the
tyme
of
Alexander
woulde
accept
.
Wherefore
he
marched
against
Pyrrhe
,
a
straunger
and
of
another
Nation
,
but
as
after
it
appeared
,
he
was
much
deceyued
.
For
so
soone
as
he
was
come
néere
the
place
where
Pyrrhe
was
,
many
Citizens
of
Bery
came
to
the
campe
,
who
aboue
the
heauens
praysed
and
commended
Pyrrhe
,
saying
he
was
valiaunt
,
in
Martiall
factes
inuincible
,
liberall
towardes
his
Souldiours
,
and
towardes
them
whome
he
vanquished
,
curteous
and
gentle
.
And
farther
put
them
in
remembraunce
,
that
their
auncestors
always
reputed
those
true
and
vndoubted
Kings
,
who
knewe
to
vse
armes
in
tyme
of
warre
,
and
gouerne
their
subiectes
by
gentlenesse
and
curtesie
in
tyme
of
peace
.
In
all
whiche
things
they
preferred
and
commended
King
Pyrrhe
.
And
to
be
brief
,
they
sayd
the
time
was
come
,
that
they
might
be
deliuered
from
the
gréeuous
dominion
of
Demetre
,
and
submitte
them
to
a
valiaunt
and
gentle
King
,
who
hartely
loued
and
estéemed
his
Souldiours
and
men
of
warre
.
Throughe
this
and
such
like
talke
were
the
Macedonians
Souldiours
so
moued
and
affectioned
,
that
some
first
began
secretly
to
mutine
:
and
shortly
after
arose
so
great
mutenie
throughout
the
whole
hoste
,
that
no
man
could
make
them
kéepe
order
,
eyther
in
the
campe
or
withoute
,
nor
yet
obey
any
.
And
the
matter
at
last
grew
to
his
ende
,
that
some
of
them
were
so
bolde
to
come
to
Demetre
and
say
,
it
was
necessarie
if
he
ment
to
saue
him selfe
to
flie
:
for
the
Macedonians
were
so
aggréeued
,
to
fight
any
longer
for
his
pleasure
,
that
they
would
no
more
abide
his
Dominion
and
gouernement
:
whiche
wordes
to
Demetre
séemed
very
louing
and
honest
,
considering
the
common
voyce
and
rumour
throughout
the
armie
.
Wherefore
he
thought
it
not
good
to
tarrie
for
any
more
motions
,
but
with
that
,
retired
at
once
into
his
tent
:
and
after
despoyled
him
of
his
hablementes
royall
,
●
nd
put
on
a
minstrels
garment
,
and
with
a
small
companie
fledde
.
After
it
was
noysed
he
was
gone
,
the
greater
numbre
of
his
Souldiours
ranne
to
his
tente
,
and
there

The

Chapter
.
WHen
Demetre
was
fled
out
of
Macedone
,
as
hath
ben
said
,
and
gotten
with
all
diligence
to
the
citie
of
Cassander
,
Phile
his
wife
being
there
,
after
she
had
intelligence
in
what
sorte
he
was
come
,
was
therewith
so
displeased
and
desperate
,
that
she
could
not
be
persuaded
to
sée
him
,
so
fled
,
and
in
such
aduersitie
,
considering
that
fortune
was
more
constaunt
in
hir
aduersities
,
than
permanent
in
hir
prosperities
.
Wherefore
,
euen
werie
of
hir
life
,
she
tooke
poyson
&
so
died
.
Notwithstanding
,
Demetre
departed
thence
,
and
with
all
spéede
went
into
Grece
,
and
there
assembled
as
many
shippes
as
he
found
whole
and
sounde
,
and
the
residue
of
his
armie
,
determining
once
ageyne
to
put
them
in
a
redynesse
,
and
so
pursue
his
enterprise
,
lamenting
neuerthelesse
his
Fortune
and
aduersitie
,
as
King
Menelaye
,
according
to
Sophocles
in
these
wordes
lamented
his
:
Menelaus
.
Alas
,
my
Fortune
and
chaunce
incessauntly
tourneth
as
doth
the
whéele
of
a
Myl
,
Sophocles
.
and
as
the
Moone
,
which
neuer
in
one
forme
and
estate
continueth
two
whole
nightes
togyther
,
A
man
greatly
subict
to
Fortune
.
but
at
the
beginning
altereth
hir
figure
,
as
if
she
came
out
of
a
darke
place
,
by
little
and
little
shewing
hir selfe
vntill
she
come
to
the
full
,
&
after
by
the
same
degrées
decreaseth
,
vntill
she
hath
lost
hir
whole
light
.
Euen
so
may
truly
be
spoken
of
Demetre
his
Fortune
,
who
after
the
losse
of
Macedone
,
going
into
a
priuate
habite
through
the
Townes
of
Grece
,
without
any
princely
tokens
and
signes
:
one
which
sée
him
in
the
Citie
of
Thebes
in
this
estate
sayd
of
him
the
verses
of
Euripide
,
making
much
to
this
purpose
and
in
this
effect
:
Euripide
.
Who
sometime
was
most
like
the
forme
deuine
,
And
now
to
forme
humaine
conuerte
agayne
:
Is
come
to
Cyrces
fountaynes
cleare
and
fine
.
And
Ismenius
Ryuer
:
there
to
lyue
doth
daine
.
Neuerthelesse
,
Fortune
shortly
after
somewhat
returning
in
his
fauoure
,
restoring
his
power
,
whiche
in
hys
first
estate
séemed
to
be
clerely
or
very
néere
extinguished
,
purposed
by
a
singular
benefite
worthie
memorie
,
in
restoring
it
to
his
first
and
auncient
libertie
,
to
win
the
beneuolence
and
loue
of
the
citie
of
Thebes
.
In
the
same
season
,
newes
were
brought
him
,
how
that
Deiphile
gouernour
of
the
citie
of
Athens
was
dead
,
Deiphil
.
and
another
(
according
to
their
customes
and
orders
)
placed
in
hys
roome
,
and
that
they
were
reuolted
and
rebelled
ageinst
Demetre
.
And
when
they
vnderstoode
his
power
to
be
greater
than
they
supposed
,
they
sent
into
Macedon
,
to
King
Pyrrhe
,
to
desire
his
ayde
,
wherat
Demetre
was
so
angrie
,
to
sée
that
Citie
so
often
times
rebell
,
which
he
so
many
times
had
conquered
:
and
to
be
so
lightly
from
him
reuolted
,
which
he
alwayes
hadde
so
gently
and
curteously
entreated
,
that
he
incontinent
with
his
whole
power
departed
thence
to
sea
,
and
went
so
besiege
it
.
But
after
he
had
ben
there
certeyn
dayes
,
Crathe
the
Philosopher
,
Crathes
.
a
man
then
in
great
authoritie
&
renoumed
in
the
citie
,
came
with
the
Citizens
Ambassadoures
towardes
him
,
and
by
diuerse
reasons
persuaded
him
to
raise
his
siege
and
departe
,
and
take
some
other
enterprise
in
hande
whiche
might
be
more
profitable
.
At
whose
persuasions
Demetre
hauing
another
enterprise
in
his
hed
,
quieted
him self
,
and
went
his
way
.
And
incontinent
assembled
his
shippes
and
all
his
men
of
warre
,
to
the
numbre
of
.xj.
thousande
able
men
or
more
,
and
with
them
spéedely
sayled
into
Asie
,
to
the
intent
to
winne
from
Lysimache
the
Countreys
of
Lydie
and
Carie.
But
as
he
drew
neere
the
citie
of
Mylette
,
Milet.
he
met
Euridice
,
Euridice
.
sister
to
Phile
,
his
late
wife
,
bringing
Ptolomaide
,
whom
Ptolome
by
Seleuke
his
meane
had
graunted
him
for
his
wife
,
and
there
forthwith
by
the
consent
of
Euridice
espoused
hir
.
After
the
celebration
of
the
marriage
,
he
went
about
his
enterprises
,
and
at
his
arriuall
tooke
by
assault
many
cities
,
the
rest
without
resistance
rendred
:
amongs
which
the
citie
of
Sardes
,
Sardes
.
garrisoned
by
Lysimache
his
Souldiours
was
one
,
whiche
with
the
armie
and
treasure
they
had
of
his
in
kéeping
,
came
and
yelded
to
Demetre
.
But
after
he
vnderstood
that
Agathocles
,
Agathocles
,
Lysimache
his
sonne
,
came
with
a
mightie
power
that
waye
against
him
,
he
departed
thence
into
Phrygie
,
thinking
that
if
he
could
get
and
enioye
the
countrey
of
Armenie
,
he
might
after
easely
trouble
the
Region
of
Mede
,
and
thereby
bring
the
hier
Prouinces
vnder
hys
subiection
.
And
during
the
time
that
he
marched
through
the
playne
countrey
,
Agathocles
dayly
pursued
him
so
néere
,
that
they
had
many
skirmishes
togyther
,
wherein
Demetre
had
alwayes
the
better
.
Neuerthelesse
,
he
sée
many
discommodities
whiche
hindred
him
from
the
attayning
the
chief
and
principall
matter
of
his
enterprise
.
The
one
was
the
great
lacke
and
want
of
victuals
,
both
for
men
and
horsse
.
Wherfore
the
Souldiours
séeing
them
in
that
necessitie
,
doubted
he
would
lead
them
into
Armenie
,
but
there
chaunced
him
an
other
mishap
.
For
as
he
passed
ouer
the
ryuer
of
Lis
,
The
Riuer
Lis.
a
great
number
of
his
men
which
knew
not
well
the
depth
,
swamme
ouer
:
whereat
the
rest
were
so
angrie
,
that
they
would
neyther
obey
any
within
or
withoute
the
campe
,
and
that
which
was
worse
,
they
with
euill
and
oultragious
wordes
,
reproched
Demetre
.
And
there
was
founde
set
vppon
his
Pauillion
written
in
a
table
these
wordes
:
O
thou
sonne
of
good
father
Antigone
,
into
what
region
wilt
thou
now
carry
vs
?
Finally
when
he
sée
the
famin
more
and
more
dayly
increase
&
augmente
,
he
thought
it
most
expedient
and
necessarie
,
considering
the
necessitie
of
the
time
,
to
departe
,
that
with
the
losse
of
eight
thousand
Souldiours
,
he
retired
into
the
citie
of
Therse
.
Therse
.
And
bycause
that
Countrey
was
subiect
to
Seleuke
,
he
was
carefull
to
looke
about
him
,
that
his
men
should
not
spoyle
the
Countrey
,
whereby
he
might
prouoke
Seleuke
his
indignation
against
him
,
whose
puissaunce
was
very
strong
,
but
especially
at
that
tyme
,
bycause
he
had
such
great
affaires
in
hande
,
whiche
was
impossible
for
him
to
compasse
,
considering
the
necessitie
and
pouertie
of
his
people
.
And
Agathocles
so
garded
the
passages
of
the
ryuer
Tygre
,
that
he
was
euery
waye
inclosed
.
Whereupon
considering
the
daunger
he
was
in
,
he
determined
to
slie
towardes
Seleuke
,
but
before
he
would
so
do
,
he
wrote
vnto
him
his
pitifull
letters
,
conteining
all
his
misfortunes
and
aduersities
,
gréeuously
complaining
his
miserable
estate
,
praying
him
to
haue
pitie
and
compassion
of
so
wretched
a
man
,
his
familiar
,
and
neere
allie
,
who
alreadie
had
had
so
many
aduersities
,
that
his
verie
mortall
enimies
thereof
ought
to
haue
compassion
and
pitie
.
These
letters
receyued
,
Seleuke
hauing
pitie
and
compassion
of
one
so
noble
a
personage
,
by
fortune
come
into
such
calamitie
and
miserie
,
writte
to
his
Officers
and
Lieutenaunts
in
those
quarters
,
that
they
should
vse
and
entreat
him
,
as
apperteyned
vnto
so
noble
a
Prince
:
and
farther
,
to
cal
backe
the
men
of
warre
which
pursued
him
.
But
after
that
Procley
,
a
sage
and
wise
man
,
and
one
of
Seleuke
his
counsaill
,
had
told
him
that
it
was
not
expedient
he
should
nourishe
and
mainteyne
Demetre
his
men
of
warre
,
nor
yet
to
guie
occasion
to
a
Prince
and
Chieftayne
of
warre
,
and
so
Noble
a
warriour
,
to
tarrie
long
within
his
countreys
,
he
grew
maruelous
suspicious
,
and
by
&
by
altered
his
opinion
.
For
men
(
quod
he
)
ought
not
to
make
light
accompte
of
so
quarrelous
a
man
,
which
hath
alwayes
inuented
and
deuised
straunge
and
hie
enterprises
,
and
chiefly
of
one
in
so
great
aduersitie
,
which
were
inough
to
moue
a
man
of
small
courage
,
to
enterprise
and
execute
a
very
great
oultrage
,
to
his
best
and
dearest
friende
.
These
persuasions
so
moued
Seleuke
,
that
he
leuied
a
sufficient
armie
,
and
with
great
diligence
entred
the
countrey
of
Cilice
.
When
Demetre
heard
therof
,
he
was
wonderfully
abashed
and
astonied
to
sée
so
sodayn
a
mutation
&
chaunge
,
and
so
spéedy
a
returne
.
Wherfore
he
with
his
armie
,
retired
into
the
strongest
places
of
the
mount
Thaure
,
and
sent
towardes
Seleuke
his
Ambassadoures
,
praying
of
him
ayde
and
helpe
,
for
the
obtayning
and
getting
some
principalitie
and
Seigniorie
in
some
of
the
prouinces
néere
hand
,
which
had
no
King
,
wherein
he
might
staye
him selfe
,
ende
his
banishement
,
and
there
leade
the
rest
of
his
life
,
and
mainteyne
his
armie
:
and
further
,
furnishe
him
and
his
people
with
victuals
,
for
want
wherof
sore
distressed
and
in
great
néede
:
and
not
to
suffer
that
one
of
his
familiars
and
poore
and
miserable
allie
to
liue
(
to
his
great
dishonour
)
vnder
the
power
&
subiection
of
his
enimies
.
Wherevpon
Seleuke
greatly
suspecting
,
aunswered
him
:
That
he
was
content
,
Demetre
and
his
armie
should
remayne
two
monethes
in
the
countrey
of
Laconie
:
alwayes
prouided
,
that
he
send
certen
his
principall
friends
for
hostages
.
When
Demetre
vnderstood
this
aunswere
,
he
then
wholly
dispaired
,
séeing
him selfe
on
euery
side
enclosed
and
enuironed
with
Seleuke
his
garrisons
,
and
out
of
hope
,
by
prayers
or
entreatie
to
vrge
him
.
Wherfore
he
turned
al
his
despaire
into
a
rage
,
and
determined
to
warre
and
fight
with
hym
:
and
thereupon
descended
into
the
playnes
,
where
he
made
great
incursions
&
robberies
,
wasting
the
playne
and
champion
Countrey
:
and
after
came
and
encamped
so
neere
Seleuke
,
that
they
dayly
escarmoushed
togyther
,
in
which
Demetre
had
alwayes
the
better
.
And
at
last
,
as
they
were
one
day
arranged
in
order
of
battaile
redie
to
fight
:
after
Demetre
had
repulsed
and
discomfited
certen
armed
charriots
,
he
brauely
put
all
the
reste
of
Seleuke
hys
armie
to
flight
.
And
all
at
once
with
all
possible
spéede
marched
against
Seleuke
Souldiours
,
keeping
the
passages
of
Syrie
,
whome
he
likewise
withoute
great
resistaunce
incontinent
chased
and
erpulsed
.
¶
After
the
victorie
by
Demetre
wonne
on
Seleuke
,
certen
of
his
Souldiours
(
by
reason
of
a
dysease
which
happened
him
)
forsake
him
:
but
he
with
the
rest
still
warring
vpon
Seleuke
,
is
at
laste
vanquished
,
and
enforced
to
render
,
and
in
the
ende
kept
as
a
prisoner
.
The
.x.
Chapter
.
OF
this
victorie
were
Demetre
and
hys
Souldiours
so
proude
and
cruell
,
that
they
dayly
presented
battaill
to
Seleuke
.
But
he
,
who
feared
Demetre
his
hazard
and
fortune
,
then
verie
miserable
,
yet
bycause
she
ageyne
somewhat
fauoured
him
,
and
aduaunced
hym
to
an
hier
degree
of
prosperitie
,
turned
backe
Lysimache
his
souldiours
by
him
sent
in
his
aide
,
for
that
he
had
no
great
trust
or
confidence
in
them
.
And
with
the
reste
of
his
own
,
kept
him
in
the
places
of
most
aduauntage
,
not
meaning
to
fight
.
In
this
sorte
began
Demetre
to
gette
ageyne
courage
and
strength
.
But
as
he
stood
vppon
the
point
to
exploite
some
notable
matter
,
he
was
sodenly
with
a
gréeuous
maladie
(
which
troubled
and
hindred
al
his
enterprises
)
taken
.
For
his
Souldiours
who
throughe
victorie
hadde
gotten
courage
,
and
in
good
hope
to
worke
wounders
,
seeing
their
chieftayne
so
sore
sicke
,
faynted
ageyne
,
so
that
some
fled
from
the
armie
:
some
rendred
to
the
enimie
:
and
other
thinking
by
straunge
and
vncouth
wayes
to
retire
home
,
villanously
died
.
Notwithstanding
when
Demetre
with
much
a
doo
,
had
in
.xl.
dayes
recouered
his
health
,
he
with
the
men
which
remained
,
forcibly
entred
the
country
of
Cilice
,
ouerrunning
and
spoyling
euery
where
:
and
in
the
ende
encamped
in
so
hie
a
place
,
that
the
enimie
being
a
great
waye
of
,
might
easely
sée
them
.
When
night
came
,
he
without
noise
departed
with
his
armie
,
and
passed
the
mount
Aman
,
and
after
descended
to
the
foote
of
the
mountaine
,
The
Mount
Aman.
into
the
playne
,
and
there
spoyled
and
wasted
all
,
harde
to
the
citie
of
Cyriste
.
Cyriste
.
But
shortly
after
,
Seleuke
,
who
faire
and
easely
pursued
him
,
encamped
néere
him
.
Whereuppon
Demetre
was
right
gladde
,
thinking
that
that
happened
well
for
his
purpose
,
to
surprise
him
in
such
sorte
as
he
had
determined
to
do
:
and
in
the
night
at
such
tyme
as
he
thought
Seleuke
and
his
men
were
at
rest
and
a
sléepe
,
and
doubted
nothing
,
he
putte
all
hys
hoste
in
armes
,
and
came
straight
vppon
the
Campe
of
the
enimie
to
assaile
them
are
they
were
prouided
.
Neuerthelesse
,
he
was
not
so
soone
approched
the
sayd
campe
,
but
that
certen
of
the
scoultes
were
come
in
extréeme
haste
,
to
aduertise
Seleuke
of
his
comming
,
who
at
the
newes
all
dismayed
,
sodenly
arose
and
tooke
his
gowne
and
slippers
,
and
ranne
out
of
his
Tent
,
crying
alarme
,
alarme
,
making
the
Trumpettes
sounde
to
armes
,
exhorting
and
praying
the
Captaynes
,
lustely
to
resiste
such
an
enraged
beast
.
But
when
Demetre
knew
by
the
noise
in
the
enimies
campe
,
that
his
enterprise
was
discouered
,
he
would
not
attempt
Fortune
but
retired
.
Soone
after
,
Seleuke
with
ensignes
displayed
,
assailed
his
campe
:
and
bycause
Demetre
woulde
shewe
that
he
was
no
whit
abashed
or
afeard
,
he
sent
out
a
band
of
his
Souldiours
ageinst
the
enimie
,
which
so
lustily
charged
a
corner
of
Seleuke
his
battaile
,
that
they
stood
at
a
stay
whyther
to
tarry
or
flie
.
Which
thing
Seleuke
séeing
,
&
knowing
the
daunger
of
the
case
and
his
estate
,
threwe
of
his
headpece
,
and
fiercely
on
horsbacke
galloped
hard
to
the
forefronte
,
shewing
hym selfe
barefaced
to
them
all
,
praying
them
to
returne
to
the
battaile
,
saying
he
had
long
absented
him
from
them
,
not
for
want
of
good
will
,
or
feare
of
Demetre
,
but
to
obey
those
who
were
his
good
and
loyal
friendes
.
Then
his
Souldiours
thorow
these
exhortations
were
so
encouraged
and
emboldened
,
and
chiefly
bycause
they
see
and
behelde
the
face
and
Maiestie
of
their
King
,
that
they
incontinent
returned
brauely
to
the
battaile
,
and
so
impetuously
recharged
the
enimie
,
that
Demetre
being
well
mounted
,
and
séeing
him
not
able
to
abide
the
violence
of
his
power
,
got
out
of
the
campe
,
and
vppon
the
spurre
fled
harde
to
the
Amanipiles
:
and
immediatly
from
thence
with
a
few
of
his
owne
folks
got
into
a
forest
hard
by
,
and
there
tarried
till
night
:
to
the
ende
to
gette
to
the
Porte
of
Caune
,
The
port
Caune
.
where
his
Nauie
rode
,
trusting
to
find
it
and
hys
friends
who
had
charge
thereof
there
,
and
from
thence
to
go
hier
:
but
considering
his
want
of
money
to
paye
for
victualles
by
the
waye
,
he
was
enforced
to
take
another
deliberation
.
And
being
in
this
imagination
and
thought
,
one
of
his
houshold
seruants
,
named
Sosignes
,
came
to
him
and
said
,
Sosignes
.
that
he
had
yet
.iij.
hundred
pieces
of
golde
sowed
within
his
girdle
,
which
he
trusted
wold
beare
his
charge
to
the
sea
side
.
And
as
they
were
by
night
comming
out
of
the
forest
,
they
had
espied
a
farre
the
fires
in
the
enimies
campe
,
so
that
they
were
constrayned
to
alter
their
determination
and
purpose
,
and
returne
from
whence
they
came
,
being
therby
disseuered
,
but
not
all
:
For
certen
left
him
,
and
they
which
tarried
,
had
much
a
do
to
follow
:
amongs
whome
was
one
,
who
was
so
bolde
to
saye
vnto
him
,
that
he
must
now
of
necessitie
,
yeld
to
Seleuke
,
whereat
he
was
so
sorowful
and
troubled
,
that
he
drew
oute
his
sworde
to
haue
kild
himselfe
,
and
without
stay
had
done
it
,
if
his
trustie
and
louing
friendes
had
not
letted
him
,
and
forthwith
bereft
him
his
sworde
,
praying
him
so
to
aduise
and
counsaile
with
them
,
that
they
might
saue
them selues
togyther
,
and
not
wilfully
to
kill
and
destroy
him selfe
:
with
which
wordes
he
was
well
quieted
.
And
after
they
had
long
debated
their
matters
,
he
in
the
ende
by
persuasion
of
his
friends
was
content
to
send
towardes
Seleuke
some
of
them
,
signifying
that
he
was
willing
,
frankly
to
yeld
his
life
and
all
that
Fortune
had
left
him
,
to
his
pleasure
.
Of
whiche
Ambassade
was
Seleuke
right
ioyous
,
and
by
reporte
,
sayde
these
wordes
:
Certes
,
Fortune
doth
not
so
much
for
Demetre
in
sauing
of
him
,
as
for
me
.
For
ouer
and
besides
many
great
good
turnes
and
honours
by
hir
to
me
done
,
she
hath
now
gyuen
power
and
libertie
to
shewe
my
liberalitie
and
curtesie
towardes
my
familiar
and
allie
,
who
is
a
man
of
so
great
vertue
,
prowesse
&
renowme
,
that
I
repute
and
take
it
for
the
chiefest
felicitie
that
euer
happened
me
.
He
after
caused
a
Pauilion
and
Lent
,
and
all
other
furniture
apperteyning
to
a
mightie
Prince
,
to
be
prepared
and
made
readie
in
the
moste
honorable
and
pompous
wise
he
could
deuise
.
Now
had
he
in
his
house
a
seruaunt
named
Apollonides
,
who
long
had
vsed
Demetre
his
companis
,
whome
he
sent
vnto
him
,
charging
him
to
saye
,
that
he
might
withoute
feare
fréely
come
to
his
friende
and
allie
.
After
Seleuke
had
giuen
him
this
in
charge
,
a
few
of
his
men
,
at
the
beginning
,
and
after
a
great
number
made
them
ready
to
ryde
,
and
meete
with
Demetre
,
euery
man
studying
and
deuising
to
do
him
the
greatest
honour
he
coulde
:
thinking
that
he
being
so
great
and
renoumed
a
personage
and
allie
to
Seleuke
,
shoulde
incontinent
haue
all
the
whole
authoritie
about
him
.
But
it
happened
quite
contrarie
,
for
that
pitie
and
compassion
turned
into
enimitie
.
Bicause
certen
villaines
who
ruled
and
had
authoritie
about
Seleuke
,
fearing
that
Demetre
his
comming
woulde
thrust
them
by
,
with
many
surmised
tales
put
sundrie
suspicions
into
his
head
,
saying
,
that
it
was
not
méete
to
suffer
so
valiaunt
and
renowmed
a
Prince
,
a
conductor
and
leader
in
warres
to
come
in
the
view
of
his
armie
,
bicause
it
was
to
be
feared
that
his
presence
might
be
an
occasion
to
make
some
commotion
and
mutenie
in
his
Campe
.
In
the
meane
while
was
Apollonides
and
the
rest
which
accompanied
him
,
come
to
Demetre
,
and
had
made
reporte
of
Seleuke
his
curteous
and
gracious
purpose
for
him
,
who
thereof
right
ioyous
,
gaue
them
maruellous
good
and
gentle
enterteynement
,
and
there
reioysed
and
chered
togyther
.
And
aboue
the
rest
Demetre
who
before
reputed
his
fortune
miserable
so
shamefully
to
yelde
him selfe
,
vnderstanding
by
the
reporte
of
his
very
familiars
,
the
good
&
gentle
wordes
of
Seleuke
,
merely
and
ioyfully
went
towardes
him
as
to
his
auncient
friend
and
Allie
.
But
in
these
enterfactes
Pausanias
sent
by
Seleuke
with
a
thousand
horsse
met
with
him
,
Pausanias
.
and
so
soone
as
he
approched
,
encompassed
him
and
put
backe
all
the
rest
,
which
were
with
him
:
and
after
,
as
from
the
mouth
of
Seleuke
,
sayde
that
as
then
he
might
not
come
to
him
,
but
that
he
had
charge
to
bring
him
to
an
other
place
.
So
he
brought
him
into
a
castle
of
Syrie
,
named
Cheronnese
:
Cheronness
.
and
leauing
there
with
him
a
great
garde
,
returned
towardes
Seleuke
.

The
.xj.
Chapter
.
AS
Demetre
lay
prisoner
in
the
castle
of
Cheronnese
,
verie
straightlie
kept
and
strongly
garded
,
yet
Seleuke
caused
him
to
be
verie
well
entreated
,
&
gaue
him
also
so
much
libertie
to
sporte
him
as
might
be
.
For
the
lodging
was
honorable
and
royal
,
and
therein
great
orchyardes
and
gardens
full
of
maruellous
faire
and
pleasaunt
trées
and
other
delices
,
in
whiche
he
might
at
his
pleasure
,
solace
him
:
and
left
with
him
hys
owne
seruaunts
and
familiar
friendes
whiche
serued
and
accompanied
him
at
his
commaundement
.
And
they
oftentimes
repayring
to
Seleuke
,
and
eftsoones
returning
towardes
Demetre
,
reported
vnto
him
all
the
good
and
curteous
language
and
communication
by
Seleuke
sayd
and
talked
in
his
behalfe
,
exhorting
and
praying
him
to
make
good
chere
,
and
to
hope
well
of
his
deliueraunce
:
and
not
to
mistrust
the
bountie
and
liberalitie
of
Seleuke
.
They
farther
declared
vnto
him
for
certen
,
that
Seleuke
looked
for
the
comming
of
Antioche
his
sonne
,
and
Stratonice
his
wife
,
daughter
to
the
sayd
Demetre
,
whom
he
had
sent
for
,
to
the
ende
they
should
haue
the
honour
and
thanke
for
his
deliueraunce
,
and
that
after
their
comming
he
shoulde
be
set
at
libertie
to
go
whyther
it
pleased
him
.
Notwithstanding
Demetre
séeing
him selfe
in
this
captiuitie
,
and
voyde
of
all
hope
of
deliueraunce
,
sent
certen
messangers
to
the
Gouernours
of
Athens
and
Corinth
,
his
subiects
,
to
signifie
vnto
them
,
that
they
neuer
after
that
time
should
giue
any
credit
to
his
seale
or
letters
,
but
hold
and
take
him
for
dead
.
He
moreouer
willed
them
as
they
had
alwayes
loued
him
and
kepte
their
faith
to
him
,
that
they
would
in
the
best
sorte
they
might
,
conserue
the
Realme
and
estate
to
Antigone
hys
sonne
.
Whiche
Antigone
after
he
had
heard
the
pitifull
newes
of
his
fathers
captiuitie
in
the
citie
of
Patras
,
became
thereof
so
sorowful
,
Patras
.
as
he
could
not
be
more
.
And
incontinent
when
he
had
made
him
his
mourning
gown
to
mourne
,
he
sent
letters
and
Ambassadours
into
euery
countrey
,
towardes
the
other
Kings
,
praying
and
requiring
them
to
make
intercession
to
Seleuke
,
for
deliuerie
of
his
Father
.
He
sent
also
Ambassadoures
to
Seleuke
,
praying
him
to
take
all
such
goods
as
Fortune
hadde
left
him
for
the
ransome
of
his
father
,
and
besides
offred
,
if
it
so
liked
him
,
to
come
him self
to
be
an
hostage
or
pledge
for
his
sayd
father
.
He
farther
desired
him
presently
to
shewe
and
declare
his
humanitie
and
curtesie
,
wherein
he
had
euer
surmounted
all
the
rest
of
the
Kings
.
The
like
request
made
al
the
other
Kings
,
except
Lysimache
,
who
was
so
cruell
,
The
crueltie
of
Lysimache
.
that
where
the
reste
entreated
for
his
deliueraunce
,
he
not
onely
refused
to
make
that
request
,
but
contrariwise
offered
Seleuke
a
great
summe
of
money
to
put
him
to
death
.
Whereunto
Seleuke
gaue
no
eare
,
but
blaming
and
detesting
his
crueltie
and
inhumanitie
,
refused
his
request
and
money
.
Neuerthelesse
he
still
looked
for
the
comming
of
Antioche
his
sonne
,
and
Stratonice
,
bycause
he
would
at
their
requestes
and
pleasure
deliuer
him
:
to
the
ende
,
they
shoulde
for
that
deliueraunce
receyue
all
the
thanke
,
fauoure
,
and
good
will
at
his
handes
.
Howbeit
,
the
matter
(
vnder
colour
of
long
looking
for
them
)
was
so
procrastinate
,
that
Demetre
in
the
end
had
no
néed
of
their
helpe
.
For
although
he
see
that
miserie
ineuitable
which
happened
him
,
yet
determined
he
paciently
to
endure
and
abide
it
,
and
after
hir
comming
,
he
made
semblaunce
that
he
méekely
bare
it
.
And
although
from
the
first
houre
he
was
brought
in
to
that
place
,
he
in
hunting
,
running
,
and
exercising
his
persone
,
aswell
on
foote
as
on
horsbacke
passed
the
time
,
yet
neuerthelesse
after
a
while
he
helde
and
kepte
an
other
kind
of
life
.
For
,
where
before
he
tooke
pleasure
in
trauell
,
he
nowe
gaue
him selfe
wholy
to
reste
,
and
desired
nothing
but
banquets
,
feastes
and
other
suche
like
pleasures
,
done
without
trauell
of
the
body
:
were
it
by
that
meane
to
passe
awaye
hys
melancolie
humour
,
or
else
bycause
it
séemed
he
had
founde
out
the
right
order
of
life
,
which
he
alwayes
desired
:
detesting
and
abhorring
his
labours
and
trauels
heretofore
taken
,
and
the
daungers
and
miseries
which
he
through
ambition
and
vaine
glorie
had
oftentimes
aduentured
.
For
to
that
only
ende
had
he
beaten
and
trauelled
the
Seas
and
all
Countreys
,
hoping
euer
after
to
take
his
rest
and
ease
:
whereby
he
might
vse
the
remnaunt
of
his
life
in
pleasures
and
delightes
,
which
ease
and
rest
he
there
found
,
vnlooked
for
.
And
surely
,
these
are
the
endes
and
issues
of
the
warres
which
vicious
&
couetous
Princes
so
excessiuely
desire
,
Against
ambitious
Princes
.
and
with
great
laboure
and
trauell
follow
,
placing
their
whole
pleasure
and
felicitie
in
them
:
wherein
after
my
iudgement
they
not
onely
greatly
erre
,
in
reputing
vices
for
vertues
:
but
also
in
desiring
to
liue
an
idle
and
voluptuous
life
,
séeke
after
,
and
follow
those
things
which
are
quite
contrarie
to
pleasure
.
But
after
Demetre
had
about
thrée
yeares
bene
at
Cheronnese
:
what
with
banquets
,
rest
and
ease
,
pleasures
,
and
ydlenesse
,
he
fel
into
so
gréeuous
a
maladie
,
that
in
the
ende
he
died
thereof
:
when
he
hadde
liued
.
lxiiij
.
yeares
.
Whereupon
the
news
soone
after
were
throughout
the
whole
worlde
diuulged
and
spread
abroade
,
and
so
many
as
vnderstood
it
,
greatly
blamed
Seleuke
,
for
being
so
vngentle
towardes
his
Allie
.
Him selfe
also
was
very
pensiue
and
heauie
in
that
he
had
greater
suspicion
of
his
friend
and
Allie
than
néeded
,
and
shewed
him selfe
more
wretched
and
fearefull
than
Dronichete
the
Thracian
,
a
barbarous
and
vnciuill
man
,
who
after
he
had
taken
Lysimache
,
frankly
and
fréelie
set
him
ageyne
at
libertie
.
Howbeit
,
he
commaunded
,
that
for
his
sepulture
and
buriall
al
the
honours
,
ceremonies
and
solemnities
that
were
possible
should
be
made
,
whiche
woulde
be
to
tedious
to
recite
,
and
séeme
rather
a
Tragedie
than
an
Historie
.
In
so
much
that
when
his
sonne
Antigone
was
aduertised
of
his
death
,
he
with
his
whole
Nauie
went
to
Sea
and
sailed
into
Syrie
,
to
get
togyther
his
Fathers
Ashes
.
But
being
about
the
Isles
,
he
mette
certen
messangers
which
brought
them
,
of
whom
he
receyued
them
&
enclosed
it
in
a
box
of
massiue
gold
,
and
sette
it
in
the
Poupe
of
his
ship
Royall
,
making
his
course
directly
to
sayle
to
Corinthe
.
And
as
he
sailed
alongest
the
Cities
of
the
countrey
of
Cheronnese
,
the
Citizens
with
solempne
processions
came
oute
,
some
bearing
Crownes
of
gold
,
other
brought
Mourners
to
accompanie
the
dead
body
.
In
this
sorte
was
borne
and
accompanied
Demetre
hys
body
in
the
very
top
of
the
poupe
of
the
ship
which
was
couered
with
purple
,
and
crowned

,
hauing
also
about
it
a
great
numbre
of
lustie
yong
Souldiours
,
all
armed

white
,
which
renued
the
remembraunce
of
the
dead
.
He
had
also
an
excellent
Musician
,
named
Xenophante
,
who
in
all
swéetnesse
and
hermonie
,
soong
the
Psalmes
and
songs
accustomed
in
suche
a
case
,
and
the
Gallie
sclaues
,
with
so
great
consonance
haled
their
ores
,
that
they
aunswered
Xenophante
his
song
:
Xenophante
.
and
al
with
one
voyce
,
made
dolorons
and
lamentable
noyse
,
very
pitifull
to
heare
.
Finallie
,
when
he
was
arriued
at
the
Porte
of
Corinth
,
the
townes
men
came

pitie
,
that
they
all
at
one
present
gaue

From

founded
,
and
called

propre
domicile
.
Of

There
are
some
