οὐχ ὑποστάντες δὲ τὴν τῶν Μαυρουσίων ὁρμὴν λόγους περὶ σπονδῶν ἐποιήσαντο, οἷς ὁ Φίλιππος ῥᾷον θέμενος ἀνεχώρει. πολλῶν δὲ κατὰ ταὐτὸν ἐμπεσουσῶν ταραχῶν τοῖς πράγμασι, τὰ μὲν κατὰ τὴν ἑῴαν ταῖς τῶν φόρων εἰσπράξεσι καὶ τῷ Πρίσκον, ἄρχειν τῶν ἐκεῖσε καθεσταμένον ἐθνῶν, ἀφόρητον ἅπασιν εἶναι βαρυνόμενα, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο πρὸς τὸ νεωτερίζειν τραπέντα, Ἰωταπιανὸν παρήγαγον εἰς τὴν τῶν ὅλων ἀρχήν, τὰ δὲ Μυσῶν τάγματα καὶ Παιόνων Μαρῖνον.
