Basilikos Grammateus' (Krateros Argeades - johnhughthom) report for the Year 272 BC.

At the beginning of the year work began on building drainage systems in Pella, Demetrias and Korinthos to promote health and growth in our major cities. One unit of Hoplitai Hoploi were raised as garrison in Demetrias and a unit of toxotai raised in Pella. One fleet of trireme were disbanded due to cost and Akontistai in Chalkis and Classical Hoplites in Myteline disbanded as they were no use to us in the current location. Our main army moved north to intercept Pyrrhos, who then left our territory. Diplomatic efforts to end hostilities with Pyrrhos met with disdain. One more trireme fleet was disbanded to cut costs as our economy was spiralling into debt.
A Koinon Hellenon army beseiged Korinthos and it was decided to attack Athens and Sparta to try to draw them away. As the year ended emergency loans were being raised and the Basileus was at the walls of Athens with Epirote armies dangerously close to Pella, Alexandros was unable to pass the Koinon Hellenon army in order to attack Sparta.
