<head>Flamininus and the Roman Commissioners in Greece</head>At this time the ten commissioners who were to control the affairs of Greece arrived from <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rome&groupId=935&placeId=1669">Rome</a> bringing the senatus-consultum about the peace with Philip.
Its principal contents were as follows: All the rest of the Greeks in Asia and Europe were to be free and subject to their own laws;
Philip was to surrender to the Romans before the Isthmian games those Greeks subject to his rule and the cities in which he had garrisons;
he was to leave free, withdrawing his garrisons from them, the towns of Euromus, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Pedasa&groupId=852&placeId=1535">Pedasa</a>, Bargylia, and <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Iasus&groupId=643&placeId=1177">Iasus</a>, as well as <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Abydus&groupId=268&placeId=523">Abydus</a>, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Thasos&groupId=1020&placeId=1794">Thasos</a>, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Myrina&groupId=781&placeId=1416">Myrina</a>, and Perinthus; Flamininus was to write to Prusias in the terms of the senatus-consultum about restoring the freedom of Cius;
Philip was to restore to the Romans all prisoners of war and deserters before the same date, and to surrender to them all his warships with the exception of five light vessels and his great ship of sixteen banks of oars;
he was to pay them a thousand talents, half at once and the other half by instalments extending over ten years.
