 | | The praetor Gnaeus Octavius - for he too was there - translated these announcements into Greek and conveyed them to the Macedonians. |
 | | The provisions were as follows: first of all, the Macedonians were to be free, keeping their own cities and territories, enjoying their own laws, and electing annual magistrates; they were to pay to the Roman, people half the tax they had paid to their kings. |
 | | There were statues, pictures, textiles, vessels of gold, silver, bronze, and ivory, fashioned with immense pains in the king's palace, not for temporary display, like the objects with which the palace at Alexandria was crammed, but for lasting use. |
