Philip contented himself with writing an epigram in reply to that of Alcaeus, in which he gave the Messenian a very broad hint of the fate he might expect if he fell into his hands. ref Plutarch , Flamininus 9 ref This reply was enough to lead French classical scholar Claudius Salmasius to suppose that Alcaeus was actually crucified by Philip. ref Claudius Salmasius , De Cruce , p. 449, ap.
