After this settlement he left <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Megalopolis&groupId=745&placeId=1360">Megalopolis</a> and went to take part in the Achaean Assembly, leaving the mercenaries under the command of Lycus of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Pharae&groupId=878&placeId=1582">Pharae</a>, who was then sub-strategus of the League.
The Eleans, who were dissatisfied with Pyrrhias, now procured from the Aetolians the services of Euripidas,
and he, waiting for the time when the Achaean Assembly met, took sixty horse and two thousand foot, and leaving <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Elis&groupId=560&placeId=1048">Elis</a> passed through the territory of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Pharae&groupId=878&placeId=1582">Pharae</a> and overran <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Achaea&groupId=272&placeId=533">Achaea</a> as far as that of Aegium.
Having collected a considerable amount of booty, he was retreating towards <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Leontium&groupId=677&placeId=1239">Leontium</a>,
when Lycus, learning of the inroad, hastened to the rescue and encountering the enemy at once charged them and killed about four hundred, taking about two thousand prisoners,
among whom were the following men of rank: Physsias, Antanor, Clearchus, Androlochus, Euanorides, Aristogeiton, Nicasippus, and Aspasius. He also captured all their arms and baggage.
Just about the same time the Achaean naval commander made a landing at Molycria and came back with nearly a hundred captured slaves.
Starting again he sailed to Chalceia, and on the enemy coming to the assistance of that town he captured two warships with their crews and afterwards took with its crew an Aetolian galley near <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rhium&groupId=929&placeId=1662">Rhium</a>.
So that all this booty coming in from land and sea at the same time, with considerable benefit both to the exchequer and the commissariat, the soldiers felt confident that they would receive their pay and the cities that they would but and unduly burdened by war contributions.
