II The Sibylline books induced the Romans to make war against Philip by these lines: The Macedonians boast their descent from Argive kings. Philip will be the arbiter of weal or woe to you.

Ἤτοι ὁ μὲν πρότερος πόλεσιν λαοῖσί τ’ ἄνακτας θήσει, ὁ δ’ ὁπλότερος τιμὴν ἀπὸ πᾶσαν ὀλέσσει, δμηθεὶς δ’ ἑσπερίοισιν ὑπ’ ἀνδράσιν ἐνθάδ’ ὀλεῖται.
