The Apollonians came out to oppose him, but he drove them, terrified and dismayed, within their walls. After devastating the adjacent parts of Illyricum he turned his course into Pelagonia, with the same expedition. He then took Sintia, a town of the Dardanians, which would have afforded them a passage into Macedonia.
Death of king Pyrrhus. Some young men, who had ill-treated the ambassadors from the Apollonians to the senate of Rome, are delivered up to them. The number of quaestors increased to eight. After much debate, the senate resolves to succour the Mammertines against the Carthaginians, and against Hiero, king of Syracuse. An exchange of prisoners with the Carthaginians.
The camp having been plundered, the Apollonians removed into their city the catapults, ballistas, and other engines which had been got together for the purpose of assaulting their city, for the protection of their walls, in case at any time a similar conjuncture should arise; all the rest of the plunder which the camp afforded was given up to the Romans.
Forming an Indian file for attack, they carried bits of board instead of weapons; and it was well that they did so, the warlike performance causing immense excitement.

"My fortune, said you? Though the suggestion has in it a flavor of unbelief, let us to the goddess at once." "Nay, son of Arrius, these Apollonians have a better trick than that.
Then natives and Kruboys will strike for increased wages till even diamond-mines would not pay. The Gold Coast contains rich placers in abundance: if they fail it will be for want of hands, or because the cost of labour will swallow up profits. The country-people, Fantis, Accra-men, Apollonians of Béin, and others, will work, and are well acquainted with gold-working.
We met some difficulty in seeing the swords, which were not to be sold. They were the usual rusty and decayed fish-slicers; Cameron, however, was kind enough to sketch them for me, and they will appear in my coming book. Most of the adult males had travelled inland to the Tákwá or French mines, where the Apollonians bear the highest reputation.
Philip laid waste the lands of the Apollonians, and, advancing his troops to the tower, offered the Romans battle.
