Accordingly when Cavarus, the Gallic king, came to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Byzantium&groupId=415&placeId=767">Byzantium</a> and did his best to put an end to the war, intervening heartily to part the combatants, both Prusias and the Byzantines yielded to his exhortations.
The Rhodians, on hearing of Cavarus\'s efforts and Prusias\'s compliance and being anxious to effect their purpose at once, appointed Aridices as envoy to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Byzantium&groupId=415&placeId=767">Byzantium</a> and at the same time dispatched Polemocles with three triremes, wishing, as we say, to send Byzantines the spear and the herald\'s staff at once. Upon their appearance treaties were made in the year of Cothon, son of Calligeiton, hieromnemon in <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Byzantium&groupId=415&placeId=767">Byzantium</a>, that with the Rhodians being simple and as follows: "The Byzantines engage not to levy toll on ships bound for the <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Pontus&groupId=910&placeId=1634">Pontus</a>, and on this condition the Rhodians and their allies shall be at peace with the Byzantines."
The terms they made with Prusias were these: "There is to be peace and friendship for all time between Prusias and the Byzantines and in no manner are the Byzantines to make war on Prusias or Prusias on the Byzantines.
Prusias is to give up to the Byzantines the lands, the fortresses, the people, and the slaves taken from the enemy free from ransom, and in addition the ships taken at the outset of the war, the missiles captured in the forts; likewise the timbers, building stones, and tiles taken from the Holy Place" —for Prusias,
dreading the return of Tiboetes, had destroyed all strong places that seemed favourably situated for any hostile design — "Prusias is to compel any Bithynians occupying lands in that part of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Mysia&groupId=782&placeId=1417">Mysia</a> subject to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Byzantium&groupId=415&placeId=767">Byzantium</a> to give these up to the farmers."
Such was the beginning and such the end of the war of Prusias and the Rhodians with <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Byzantium&groupId=415&placeId=767">Byzantium</a>.
