An Aeginetan, who, at the Achaean congress, held at Megalopolis, <date when-custom="-186">B. C.
       186</date>, followed Apollonides in dissuading the assembly from accepting the 120 talents
      proffered them as a gift by king Eumenes II. [See p. 237a.] He reminded the Achaeans, that the
      Aeginetans, in consequence of their adherence to the league, had been conquered and enslaved
      by P. Sulpicius (<date when-custom="-208">B. C. 208</date>), and that their island, having been
      given up by Rome.to the Aetolians, had been sold by them to Attalus, the father of Eumenes. He
      called on Eumenes to shew his good-will to the Achaeans rather by the restoration of Aegina
      than by gifts of money, and he urged the assembly not to receive presents which would prevent
      their ever attempting the deliverance of the Aeginetans. The money of the king of Pergamus was
      refused by the congress. (<bibl n="Plb. 11.6">Plb. 11.6</bibl>, <bibl n="Plb. 23.7">23.7</bibl>, <bibl n="Plb. 23.8">8</bibl>; comp. <bibl n="Liv. 27.33">Liv. 27.33</bibl>;
