The Atbenians refus'd to give an appearance, but were amerc'd 500 Talents. Hereupon they sent three Philosophers Embassadors to Rome, to obtain from the Senate a release of the Fine impos'd. Besides Diogenes the Stoick, and Catneades the Academick, there came Critolaus the Peripatetick. These Personages, every one very eminent in his way, held severally publick Dispu∣tations in the most remarkable places of Rome, to the great Admiration of their Auditors. The effect of their Em∣bassy was, that they got four hundred Talents of the Fine abated, and the remaining hundred was never levied.
