M. Mitsos, "Inscription de Stymphale", REG 1946-47, 151-174 passim (ph.) (BullÉpigr 1949,
72; A. Passerini, "La condizione della città di Elatea dopo la seconda guerra macedonica in una
nuova iscrizione", Athenaeum 36, 1948, 83-95 with corrections of the text [BullÉpigr 1951,
108; SEG 11, 1950, 1107]; Moretti, ISE, 55); G. Klaffenbach, "Die Sklaven von Elateia", BCH
1968, 257-259, also comments and corrections (BullÉpigr 1969, 265); Y. Garlan, BCH 1969,
159-60, new readings in lines 15 and 17 (BullÉpigr 1970,288); for some restorations of the text
see P. Riejko, Historia 37, 1988, 164 (SEG 38, 1988, 355) [after 189 B.C. (?)].
Stymphalos; a decree of Elateia (Phocis) expressing the gratitude of the town to the
Stymphalians who accepted the Elatean refuges after the destruction of their city by
Flamininus. When Manius Acilius Glabrio, consul of the year 191 B.C., seized the region again,
during the war against Antiochus and Aetolians (191/190 B.C.), he accepted the return of the
Elateans to their home: ...κυριε]ύσαντος Μανίου των κατ' [Έ]λάτειαν τόπων... (1. 10) and
passim.
Remarks: For the Polybian description of the facts see G.A. Lehmann, Untersuchungen zur
historischen Glaubwürdigkeit des Polybios (Münster 1967) 120-125 (BullÉpigr
1968, 267). On the mythological ties between Stymphalos and Elateia see C.
Habicht, Pausanias'guide to ancient Greece (Berkeley-Los Angeles-London 1985)
67-69 (SEG 35, 1985, 370).
The person is probably to be identified with Manius Acilius Glabrio (T. Livius
XXXVI 2, 1; 14-24; 30; 34-35; XXXVII 4-7); see P. v. Rohden, RE I 1 (1893) 255,
s.v. Acilius [35]; Broughton, Magistrates I, 320. 333. 335. 352 (consul in 191 B.C.).
357 (proconsul in 190 B.C.). He was appointed as commander of the war against
Antiochus, whom he defeated, with the Aetolians, at Thermopylai. The return of
refuges from Elateia to their home was decided in the peace treaty concluded in 189
B.C.; for the date see Mitsos, op. cit., 111.
