published aunswered that he would cōclude no peace with the Athenians vnelesse they wold wholie submit them to his discretion and gouernement alleaging that what time they besieged him within the Citie of Lamie they woulde make none other answere to his Ambassadoures When y e Athenians sée none other boote that they were no longer able to resist they remitted the whole gouernement of the Citie to his pleasure Who being of such moderation of mind redeliuered to them their Citie and landes with all their goods and cattels Howbeit he altered and chaunged the gouernement of the Citie Declaring that where before the rule and estate of the Citie was common he therefore now decréed and ordayned that none should be admitted to anie office or dignitie within the Citie except suche as were of good reuenue and liuing that might at least dispend two thousand Drachmes by yeare they to haue all the aucthoritie gouernement and ordering of the same And that the rest whose lands did not amount to the clere yerely value aforesaid as persones seditious and desirous of tumultes and warres were clerely excluded from authorite and gouernement Neuerthelesse they that were contented to dwell elsewhere he gaue them the conntrey of Thrace for their habitation and reliefe of whiche sorte were aboue xx thousand which went to dwel al in Thrace And there remained in the Citie of auncient and landed Burgesses about ix thousand or néere thereabout who gouerned the same and territories therof after the Lawes of Solon without taking away frō Perseus any of the goodes which he possessed And for their better quietnesse and refuge Antipater least behinde vnder the the charge of Menille a garrison of men of warre for the repressing of such as would go about to commence or reuiue anie innouatiō or mutation And for as Samy he least it to the willes and discretions of the Kings Thus the Athenians being gently handled and well entreated farre beyond their expectation minded vpon that cōclusion to liue in rest and peace and to vse their trauaill without feare by meane wherof in shorte time they grew to great wealth After Antipater had atchieued and obtained these victories he retourned with Cratere into Macedone whome he perfectly loued and greatly honoured bestowing on him large and honorable gifts giuing him also in mariage hys eldest daughter Phile a yong a Damsel of excellēt fauoure and beautie making farther great preparation for his retourne into Asie Moreouer he used such great humanite and curtesie towards all the Cities of Grèce and reduced them to ciuility and politique gouernement that he acquired great prayse and renowme Perdicas lykewyse rendred to the Samians their Citie and Countrey and called home all the citisens which had ben in exile xl yeares and more ¶ Of the explotys done by Thimbron and Ptolome in the warres of Cyrene The ninth Chapter NOwe since we haue spoken of all the factes of warres done in the Lamian warre it behoueth vs out of hand to make mencion of the warres which the Macedonians had against Cyrene and to gyue it this meane space to the end we deferre not those gests so long from the time in whiche they were done but to make the matter more clere and manifest we must beginne somewhat farther of What time Harpale fled out of Asie into Crete with a certen numbre of souldiers as in the booke before we haue mencioned Thimbron who by outward apparaunce séemed his friend traiterously slew him and seising on all his money men and shippes sailed with all the said souldiers and riches into the countrey of Cyrene and by the meane of the aide and conduct of the exiles of the same Citie he gaue battaill to the Citisens gouernours and vanquished them wherof he slewe many and tooke a numbre of prisoners and so wanne the Port or hauen whereupon he put the Citisens in such terror and feare that he draue them to come to a composition wherein they agréed that he should haue v. hundred Talents of siluer and the one half of his Charriots and Charrets that he woulde occupie in his warres This agréement concluded on he immediatly sent his Ambassadours to the rest of the cities néere hand demaunding their ayde for the subduing of the Region of Lybye thereto adioyning He farther willed his Souldiers to spoile and but in all the goods which they founde in the shippes within the said Port the rather to enbolden them to enduer the warres And albeit fortune highly fauoured the said Thymbron that he became rich proude yet not long after she brought him agayne into as great miserie by this occasion for one of his Captaines named Mnasicles borne in Crete a man expert in martial factes chalenged him and said he had done yll bycause he made no egall diuision of the but in And being a valiaunt and stout man and of nature mutinous reuolted tooke parte with the Cyrenians greatly blaming and discommending the crueltie and disloyatie of Thymbron dissuading them to breake promisse with him and to set thē selues at their owne choise and libertie But when Thymbron sée that they had not as yet payd but lx Talents and that frō daye to day they delayed the payment of the rest he held the agréement and composition on their parte infringed brokē wherfore he tooke so many Citisens as were within the Port prisoners to the nūbre of foure score That done with al his force he besieged the Citie and preuayling nothing retired into the hauen In this while the Barcians Hesperits toke part with Thymbron wherfore the Cyrenians purposing some facte least one part of the Souldiers within the Towne and with the other parte salied out and ranne vpō the Barcian and Hesperite camp who were forced to send to Thymbron for ayde whether he came with all his power which when Mnassicles sée and perceyuing he had leaft the Hauen vnfurnished persuaded the Cirenians in the Towne to assaye to winne the hauen whereupon they immediatly issued out and with great ease wanne it bycause there were few or none leaft to defend the same all whiche was exploited and done by the meane and conduct of Mnasicles who straightwayes redeliuered to the merchaunts of the towne so muche of their goods as might be found and after furnished the Porte with a garrison of valiaunt men of warre When Thymbron vnderstood that the Port so méete a place for the anoying of y e enimy was lost al the bagage of his mē of warre he was thereat greatly abashed Howbeit he tooke to him a martiall courage went to the siege of an other Citie called Thacire which he wanne wherfore he waxed right glad and bolde Neuerthelesse not long after happened him other great misaduentures For first his Souldiers which were a bord hauing lost the Hauen therby cut of from victuals at land were constrayned to make out certeyn bandes to fourage the fields and Countrey for prouision of victuals whome
