Hearing now that the commander of the garrison at Perga appointed by Antiochus was neither withdrawing the garrison nor leaving the town himself, he marched against the place with his army.
When he was near it the commander came out to meet him, entreating him not to condemn him unheard; for he was doing what was part of his duty.
He had been entrusted by Antiochus with the city and he was holding it until he was again informed by his master what he should do, but up to now he had received no instructions from anyone on the subject.
He therefore asked for thirty days' grace in order that he might send and ask the king how to act.
Manlius, as he saw that Antiochus was faithful to his obligations in all other respects, allowed him to send and inquire, and after a few days he received an answer and surrendered the town.
The ten legates and King Eumenes arrived by sea at Ephesus in early summer, and after resting there for two days after their voyage, went up the country towards <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Apamea&groupId=340&placeId=660">Apamea</a>.
Manlius, on hearing of their arrival, dispatched his brother Lucius with four thousand men to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Oroanda&groupId=818&placeId=1478">Oroanda</a>, the iron hand in the velvet glove, to obtain payment of the part still owing of the sum the people of that place had agreed to pay.
He himself left in haste with his army, as he was anxious to meet Eumenes.
Upon reaching <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Apamea&groupId=340&placeId=660">Apamea</a> and meeting Eumenes and the ten legates, he sat with them in council discussing the situation.
It was decided in the first place to ratify the treaty with Antiochus, about the terms of which I need make no further remarks, but will quote the actual text.

Bikerman, 106 ff.; REJ, 1935/6, 18; Rostovtzeff, SEHHW, i. 528; Bengtson, Strat. ii. 134–5. The reference is to cities hitherto under the Seleucids; they did not yet know how the Romans would dispose of them (cf. 46. 2–12). Paton renders <w lang="el-GR">προστάγματα</w> inadequately as 'domination'. </p> <p rend="Plain Text"> <emph rend="bold"><w lang="el-GR">τὸν . . . φόβον ἀφῃρῆσθαι</w>:</emph> cf. ii. 35. 9 n.

Moreover Manlius' alleged reason was help given to Antiochus, and his real reason probably desire for plunder (Livy, xxxviii. 51. 10, 60. 2). Hence P.'s statement may be exaggerated, though indeed a long-standing fear and distrust of the Galatians, similar to that felt for the Gauls in the west (ii. 35. 9, iii. 3. 5), may have outlived their attacks. Ramsay, Epistle, 58, suggests that a recollection of Manlius' campaign was still alive among the Jews in 161 (cf. Sthelin, 58 n. 2); but the Jews were too far away to have shared in the Greek fears. </p>

A routine purification of the army preceded an expedition or any emergency; it probably resembled that carried out by the censors, or the purification of the fleet described in Appian, B.C. v. 96. See Wissowa, 390; Boehm, RE, 'lustratio', cols. 2035–6; G.
