<head>I. Affairs of Italy</head><head>The War between Prusias and Attalus</head>The senate, while it was still winter, had heard what Publius Lentulus had to report about King Prusias, as this legate had just returned from Asia, and they now summoned also Athenaeus, the brother of King Attalus.
They did not, however, require many words about him, but at once appointed Gaius Claudius Cento, Lucius Hortensius, and Gaius Aurunculeius their legates and sent them off in company with Athenaeus with orders to prevent Prusias from making war on Attalus.
There came also to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rome&groupId=935&placeId=1669">Rome</a> an embassy from the Achaeans consisting of Xenon of Aegium and Telecles of Aegeira on behalf of those in detention.
After they had spoken in the senate, upon the matter being put to the vote, the senate came very near setting the suspects free.
That their liberation was not carried out was the fault of Aulus Postumius Albinus, at this time praetor and as such presiding over the senate.
For while there were three resolutions, one for their release, another opposed to this, and a third for postponement of the release for the present, the majority being in favour of release,
Aulus passing over the third alternative put the question in general terms: "Who is for releasing the men and who against it?"
Consequently those who were for delay joined those who were for absolute refusal, and thus gave a majority against release. Such were these events.

33.1.1 - 33.1.1
<p rend="Plain Text"> <emph rend="bold"><w lang="el-GR">ἔτι κατὰ χειμῶνα</w>:</emph> cf. 12. 1; the phrase indicates the later part of the winter (Pdech, Mthode, 462–4, esp. 464 n. 187). Since A. Postumius Albinus, praetor A.U.C. 599 = 155, was already in office (§ 5), the session of the Senate is probably shortly after the (Roman) Ides of March of that year. </p> <p rend="Plain Text"> <emph rend="bold"><w lang="el-GR">τῶν περὶ τὸν Πόπλιον Λέντλον</w>:</emph> see xxxii. 16. 1 n. for his return with Athenaeus from Pergamum. </p>

IG, ii <emph rend="superscript">2</emph> . 907; Insc. de Dlos, no. 461 A a, 83; Mnzer, RE, 'Hortensius (4)', col. 2466), and C.

The envoys withdrew before discussion began; cf. von Premerstein, RE, 'legatus', col. 1137. <milestone unit="page" n="542">[542]</milestone> <emph rend="bold"><w lang="el-GR">παρ᾽ ὀλίγον ἦλθον ἀπολῦσαι κτλ</w>:</emph> for the view that about this time the Senate was becoming more well disposed towards the Greeks see Lehmann, 312–13. </p>
33.1.5 - 33.1.5
<p rend="Plain Text"> <emph rend="bold"><w lang="el-GR">Αὖλος Ποστόμιος</w>:</emph> A. Postumius Albinus, praetor urbanus 155, cos. 151 (xxxv. 3. 7); on his philhellenic pretensions see xxxix. 1. 1–12. See Mnzer, RE, 'Postumius (31)', cols. 902–8; and, for P.'s view of him, Lehmann, 374–7. On the Greek term for the praetor with his six lictors see Mommsen, St.-R. ii. 1. 197 n. 5; Mason, 158; above, ii. 23. 5. </p>
33.1.7 - 33.1.7
<p rend="Plain Text"> <emph rend="bold"><w lang="el-GR">διηρώτα τὰς δύο καθολικῶς</w>:</emph> the magistrate in charge could decide which sententia he would put forward for the Senate to vote on (cf. Mommsen, St.-R. iii. 2. 987 n. 2; O'Brien-Moore, RE, Suppl.-B. vi, 'senatus', cols. 715–16). The praetor on this occasion asked the Senate to decide between letting the detainees go and not letting them go. But P.'s account is ambiguous; for the third view, passed over by Postumius, can be taken in two ways. Most scholars, editors and translators have taken it to mean 'to let them go, but not at once'. This version neglects the use of the two verbs <w lang="el-GR">ἀπολ ύειν</w> and <w lang="el-GR">ἐπισχεῖν</w>, contrasted by <w lang="el-GR">μέν</w> and <w lang="el-GR">δέ</w>; but they are not easily regarded as identical, and differentiated only by the addition of <w lang="el-GR">κατὰ τὸ παρόν</w> with the second (cf. § 8 n.). Moreover, when the debate is about whether the detainees shall now be released, to say 'Release them, but continue to hold them for the time being!' comes very near to being nonsense. An alternative meaning (so Lehmann, 376) is 'to release them, but to hold them in <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Italy&groupId=656&placeId=1199">Italy</a> for the time being'. Hitherto the debate had been about <w lang="el-GR">ἀπόλυσις</w> (§§ 4–5), with no strings attached. The supporters of the third motion now introduced a nuance into the debate by distinguishing between <w lang="el-GR">ἀπολύειν</w>, 'release from detention', and <w lang="el-GR">ἐπισχεῖν</w>, 'hold in <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Italy&groupId=656&placeId=1199">Italy</a>' for the time being. By ignoring this, and making the issue a straight vote between release (with freedom to return home), <w lang="el-GR">ἀφιέναι</w>, and continued detention, Postumius certainly revealed his hostility towards the Achaeans, in a way which helps to explain P.'s attitude towards him (cf. xxxix. 1). </p> <p rend="Plain Text"> <emph rend="bold"><w lang="el-GR">τοὺς ἀνακεκλημένους ἀφιέναι</w>:</emph> 'to let go those who had been summoned to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Italy&groupId=656&placeId=1199">Italy</a>'; the words clearly convey the idea of return to Greece. For <w lang="el-GR">τοὺς ἀνακεκλημένους</w> cf. xxx. 32. 10 n. </p>
33.1.8 - 33.1.8
<p rend="Plain Text"> <emph rend="bold"><w lang="el-GR">ἐπέχειν . . . ἀπολύειν . . . ἀφιέντων</w>:</emph> see § 7 n. </p>
