C. vero Popillius a senatu legatus ad Antiochum missus, ut bello se quo Ptolomaeum lacessebat abstineret, cum ad eum venisset atque is prompto animo et amicissimo vultu dexteram ei porrexisset, invicem illi suam porrigere noluit, sed tabellas senatus consultum continentes tradidit.
C. Popillius was sent by the senate as envoy to Antiochus to make him hold off from the war with which he was harassing Ptolemy. On his arrival, Antiochus put his hand out promptly and with the friendliest countenance. Popillius would not put his hand out to him in return, but gave him the tablets containing the senates decree.
