      Achaeans in <date when-custom="-208">B. C. 208</date>, and, having joined Philip V. of Macedon at
      Dyme with the Achaean forces, aided him in that invasion of Elis which was checked by P.
      Sulpicius Galba. In <date when-custom="-200">B. C. 200</date>, Cycliadas being made strategus
      instead of Philopoemen, whose military talents he by no means equalled, Nabis took advantage
      of the change to make war on the Achaeans. Philip offered to help them, and to carry the war
      into the enemy's country, if they would give him a sufficient number of their soldiers to
      garrison Chalcis, Oreus, and Corinth in the mean time; but they saw through his plan, which
      was to obtain hostages from them and so to force them into a war with the Romans. Cycliadas
      therefore answered, that their laws precluded them from discussing any proposal except that
      for which the assembly was summoned, and this conduct relieved him from the imputation, under
      which he had previously laboured, of being a mere creature of the king's. In <date when-custom="-198">B. C. 198</date> we find him an exile at the court of Philip, whom he attended
      in that year at his conference with Flamininus<pb n="909"/> at Nicaea in Locris. After the
      battle of Cynoscephalae, <date when-custom="-197">B. C. 197</date>, Cycliadas was sent with two
      others as ambassador from Philip to Flamininus, who granted the king a truce of 15 days with a
      view to the arrangement of a permanent peace.
