11.7 Philip Vandalizes Thermus

Philip loudly lamented his ill-fortune in having so note narrowly missed getting Attalus into his hands. . . .

On his way to the lake Trichonis Philip arrived note at Thermus, where there was a temple of Apollo; and there he once more defaced all the sacred buildings which he had spared on his former occupation of the town. In both instances it was an ill-advised indulgence of temper: for it is a mark of utter unreasonableness to commit an act of impiety against heaven in order to gratify one's wrath against man. . . .
