7 Tullus Hostilius, King of the Romans, waged war with the Albans, whose kingwas Metius Fufetius. And Tullus repeatedly postponed battle. But the Albans, assuming his defeat, betook themselves to feasting and drinking. When they were overcome by wine, Tullus attacked them, and, tying their king to two colts, tore him apart. Cf. Livy, i. 28, ad fin. or Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities, iii. 30, ad fin. So Alexarchus in the fourth book of his Italian History.

8 Philip wished to plunder Methonê and Olynthus and, while he was attempting to force a crossing at the Sandanus river, his eye was pierced by an arrow from the bow of a certain Olynthian named Aster, who uttered these words: Aster to Philip sends this deadly shaft. But Philip swam back to his friends and was saved, although he lost his eye. So Callisthenes in the third book of his Macedonian History.
