The Achaeans and Aetolians were kept friendly by them, the kingdom of Macedonia was humbled, Antiochus was driven out; yet the merits of the Achaeans and Aetolians never secured for them permission to increase their power, nor did the persuasions of Philip ever induce the Romans to be his friends without first humbling him, nor did the influence of Antiochus make them agree that he should retain any lordship over the country.
Furono intrattenuti da loro li Achei e li Etoli; fu abbassato el regno de' Macedoni; funne cacciato Antioco; né mai e' meriti delli Achei o delli Etoli feciono che permettessino loro accrescere alcuno stato; né le persuasioni di Filippo l’indussono mai ad esserli amici sanza sbassarlo; né la potenzia di Antioco possé fare li consentissino che tenessi in quella provincia alcuno stato.
