1. Nothing has been said of Hannibal since the defeat of the fleet by the Rhodians (xxiv. 11 above), but Nepos ( Hannibal 9) says that he fled to Crete, and Livy (XXXIX. li. 1) and Polybius (XXIII. xiii) report him in Bithynia after Magnesia. Possibly his departure from the kingdom of Antiochus should be placed before the battle rather than after it. For various reasons the genuineness of this item in Scipio's speech seems open to question, although Polybius (XXI. xvii) also has it. The Romans seem not to have taken the demand for Hannibal and the others mentioned in the next sentence very seriously: no such clause was included in the negotiations at the Hellespont (xxxv above), although Scipio asserts that their demands were unchanged (the clauses in this chapter which differ are rather interpretations than modifications); provision was made for amendments to the treaty with respect to these persons (XXXVIII. xxxviii. 8); the vindictiveness of Scipio's language is disproportionate to the actual damage done by Hannibal in this war and inconsistent with the character of Scipio as it is revealed in his other relations with Hannibal.
