On this account he was driven into exile, when Ismenias and his partizans obtained the direction of affairs, and concluded a treaty with Perseus. He afterwards took a prominent part in the accusation of Ismenias and his colleagues before the Roman deputy, Q. Marcius Philippus, at Chalcis, B. C. 171. (Plb. 27.2.) [E.H.B]
