Translation
"The Thasians told Metrodorus, Philip's general, that they would surrender the city if he should see to it that they were ungarrisoned, unsubjected to tribute, exempt from billeting, and [free to] use their own laws. When all had approved what had been said with a shout, they led Philip into the city."1 ["Had approved"] meaning had confirmed.2
Greek original
Ἀφρουρήτους· Θάσιοι εἶπον πρὸς Μητρόδωρον, τὸν Φιλίππου στρατηγὸν, παραδοῦναι τὴν πόλιν, εἰ διατηρήσοι αὐτοὺς ἀφρουρήτους, ἀφορολογήτους, ἀνεπισταθμεύτους νόμοις χρῆσθαι τοῖς ἰδίοις. ἐπισημηναμένων δὲ μετὰ κραυγῆς πάντων τὰ ῥηθέντα, παρήγαγον τὸν Φίλιππον εἰς τὴν πόλιν. ἀντὶ τοῦ βεβαιωσάντων.
