Polybius [writes]: "they came by night to Philip, claiming that certain people had joined them at anchor; [they added that] these men were reporting that they had left Roman quinquiremes in Rhegium. Alarmed at the news, he fled".¹ And elsewhere: "news reached Ptolemy that Archias was present".²

Προσαγγελία. Πολύβιος· ἧκον ὑπὸ νύκτα πρὸς τὸν Φίλιππον, φάσκοντες συνωρμηκέναι τινὰς αὐτοῖς· τούτους δ' ἀπαγγέλλειν, ὅτι καταλείποιεν ἐν Ῥηγίῳ πεντήρεις Ῥωμαϊκάς. ὁ δὲ διαταραχθεὶς ἐκ τῆς προσαγγελίας ἔφυγε. καὶ αὖθις· τῷ δὲ Πτολεμαίῳ γενομένης προσαγγελίας, παρεῖναι τὸν Ἀρχίαν.
