Note 265 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
Livy (XXXII. 22) says that in 198 B.C. when the magistrates were just going to take a vote, most of the states openly showed which way they would vote (omnibus fere populis ... præ se ferentibus quid decreturi essent): then the citizens of Dymê and Megalopolis and some from the Argolid left the assembly: but (XXXII. 23) the rest of the states of the league, when asked in turn how they voted (ceteri populi Achæorum, cum sententias perrogarentur), decided in a certain way.
