dissipati procella cum tamquam ex naufragio plerique semermes in castra, unde profecti erant, redissent, consultari, quid agerent, coeptum. inde orta dissensio, aliis redeundum aliis penetrandum in Dardaniam censentibus: triginta ferme milia hominum Clondico duce, quo profecti erant, pervenerunt, cetera multitudo retro, qua venerat, Apolloniam Mesembriamque repetit. Perseus potitus regno interfici Antigonum iussit; et dum firmaret res, legatos Romam ad amicitiam paternam renovandam petendumque, ut rex ab senatu appellaretur, misit. haec eo anno in Macedonia gesta.
Translation :
Then a disagreement arose, some thinking that they should return home, others that they should make their way into Dardania; about thirty thousand men, under the command of Clondicus, arrived at the place for which they had set out, the rest of the population returned to Apollonia and Mesembria by the way they had come. Perseus, having gained the throne, ordered Antigonus to be put to death; and until he could strengthen his position he sent ambassadors to Rome to renew his father's friendship and to ask that he be called king by the senate. Such were the events of the year in Macedonia.
