C. 201.</note>that he had as good as made an end of Attalus, gave the rein to every kind of outrage; and by way of gratifying his almost insane fury he vented his wrath even more against the gods than against man. For his skirmishing attacks being easily repelled by the garrison of Pergamum, owing to the strength of the place, and being prevented by the precautions taken by Attalus from getting booty from the country, he directed his anger against the seats of the gods and the sacred enclosures; in which, as it appears to me, he did not wrong Attalus so much as himself. He threw down the temples and the altars, and even had their stones broken to pieces that none of the buildings he had destroyed might be rebuilt. After spoiling the Nicephorium, cutting down its grove, and demolishing its ring wall, and levelling with the ground many costly fanes, he first directed his attack upon <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Thyatira&groupId=1034&placeId=1822">Thyatira</a>, and thence marched into the plain of Thebe, thinking that this district would supply him with the richest spoil.<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note2">Zeuxis, Satrap of Antiochus, fails to help Philip substantially.</note>But finding himself again disappointed in this respect, on arriving at the "Holy Village" he sent a message to Zeuxis, demanding that he would furnish him with corn, and render the other services stipulated for in the treaty.<note anchored="yes" place="unspecified" id="note3">That is the treaty between Philip and Antiochus.</note>Zeuxis, however, though feigning to fulfil the obligations of the treaty, was not minded to give Philip real and substantial help. . . .<pb n="173" />
