Those who adhered to the Roman interest, on the approach of the king, withdrew from the city.

The soldiers of the Achaeans, and Eumenes, held Salganea; and the few Romans, who had escaped, raised, for the security of the place, a little fort on the Euripus.

Menippus laid siege to Salganea, and the king himself to the fort.

The Achaeans and Eumenes' soldiers first surrendered, on the terms of being allowed to retire in safety.

The Romans defended the Euripus with more obstinacy.
