<head>Philip's Conduct After the Battle</head>Philip having thus done all he could in the battle,<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note63">Prudent conduct of Philip.</note>but having been decisively beaten, after taking up as many of the survivors as he could, proceeded through <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Tempe&groupId=1015&placeId=1786">Tempe</a> into <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Macedonia&groupId=723&placeId=428">Macedonia</a>. On the night previous to his start he sent one of his guard to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Larisa&groupId=669&placeId=1225">Larisa</a>, with orders to destroy and burn the king's correspondence. And it was an act worthy of a king to retain, even in the midst of disaster, a recollection of a necessary duty. For he knew well enough that, if these papers came into the possession of the Romans, they would give many handles to the enemy both against himself and his friends. It has, perhaps, been the case with others that in prosperity they could not use power with the moderation which becomes mortal men, while in disaster they displayed caution and good sense; but certainly<pb n="231" />this was the case with Philip. And this will be made manifest by what I shall subsequently relate. For as I showed without reserve the justice of his measures at the beginning of his reign, and the change for the worse which they subsequently underwent; and showed when and why and how this took place, with a detailed description of the actions in this part of his career;<note anchored="yes" place="unspecified" id="note64">See<ref target="b4c77" targOrder="U">4, 77</ref>;<ref target="b7c12" targOrder="U">7, 12</ref>;<ref target="b10c26" targOrder="U">10, 26</ref>.</note>in the same way am I bound to set forth his repentance, and the dexterity with which he changed with his change of fortune, and may be said to have shown the highest prudence in meeting this crisis in his affairs.As for Flamininus, having after the battle taken the necessary measures as to the captives and the rest of the spoils, he proceeded to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Larisa&groupId=669&placeId=1225">Larisa</a>. . . .
