2. 2Polybius 4.29.6 (web address 1), concerning the attack on the Achaean city of Kynaitha↗ (also Cynaetha; Barrington Atlas map 58 grid C1; cf. delta 833). In the summer of 220 BCE (Walbank, p. 325), the Aetolians and their allies, Illyrian raiders led by the Illyrian prince and privateer Scerdilaidas (later king of Illyria↗ from ca. 211; died ca. 205; OCD(4) s.v.; Wilkes, p. 170; and Edwards, et al., p. 475) overwhelmed and brutally sacked the city. Reneging on a prior agreement with Scerdilaidas, however, the Aetolians retained the impressive booty in its entirety. Chagrined at this betrayal and tempted later that winter by the promise of a twenty-talent yearly stipend (cf. epsilon 3960 (end)), Scerdilaidas turned against the Aetolians and joined forces with Philip V of Macedon (238-179; OCD(4) s.v. Philip(3) and Walbank, p. 477). ↩
