All the people of Triphylia were much alarmed by this achievement of Philip and began to consider how best to save themselves and their own cities.
Phillidas now returned to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Lepreum&groupId=678&placeId=1241">Lepreum</a>, evacuating Typaneae after plundering some of the houses.
For this was the reward that the allies of the Aetolians used then to receive; not only to be barefacedly deserted in the hour of need, but to be plundered or betrayed and suffer at the hands of their allies the treatment that the vanquished may expect from their enemies.
The people of Typaneae now gave up their city to Philip and those of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Hypana&groupId=636&placeId=1168">Hypana</a> followed their example.
At the same time the Phigalians, hearing the news from Triphylia and ill-pleased with the Aetolian alliance, rose in arms and seized on the ground round the Polemarch's office.
The Aetolian freebooters, who had quartered themselves in the city for the purpose of plundering <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Messenia&groupId=760&placeId=1380">Messenia</a>, were at first disposed to put a bold face on it and attack the Phigalians,
but when the citizens came flocking with one accord to the rescue, they desisted from their project, and came to terms, leaving the city with their possessions,
upon which the Phigalians send deputies to Philip and delivered themselves and the town into his hands.
