This embassy left within three days along with the envoys from Alexandria. The mission from Macedonia arrived on the last day of the Quinquatrus ¹ amid such eagerness that, had it not been evening, the consuls would have summoned the senate at once.

These ambassadors set out, within three days, in company with those of Alexandria; and, on the last day of the feast of Minerva, the commissioners arrived from Macedonia. Their coming had been so impatiently wished for, that, if it had not been very late in the day, the consuls would have assembled the senate immediately.

The Roman delegates accompanied by the Alexandrians left in three days' time. On the last day of the Quinquatrus the commissioners arrived from Macedonia. Their return had been so anxiously awaited that had it not been in the evening the consuls would at once have convened the senate.

1. This festival, first mentioned for the year 207 B.C. , occurred on March 19-23, see XXVI. xxvii. 1 and the note, also Ovid, Fasti III. 810; C.I.L. I.2 1, p. 312 gives a discussion of the origin of the name (probably because it originally fell on the

fifth

day, Roman inclusive reckoning, after the Ides), and points out that besides being connected with Minerva, the day had associations with Mars, and seems to have been the time for ceremonial readying of weapons for the campaigning season.
