XLII ARGUMENT

Ch. 21. The Lacedaemonians, although they were reinforced with new troops, are defeated. Ol. 99, 4 : 381 BC 22. Agesipolis, king of the Lacedaemonians, is ordered to take command in the Olynthian war. Ol. 100, 1 : 380 BC 23. Upon the death of Agesipolis, Polybiadas is placed in command of the forces and subdues the Olynthians. The power of the Lacedaemonians was then at its greatest. Ol. 100, 2 : 379 BC 24. The Carthaginians restore their homeland to the inhabitants of Hipponium. Although oppressed by pestilence and other ills, and even by internal wars, they nevertheless recover Africa and the island of Sardinia. Ol. 100, 3 : 378 BC 25—26. The Theban exiles strive to liberate the Cadmea, which had been seized by the Lacedaemonians. They summon the aid of the Athenians. The Athenians send a large army, and very many from other towns come to the aid of the Thebans. 27. The Lacedaemonians, compelled by scarcity, surrender the citadel and return home unharmed; their commanders pay a heavy penalty. 27. The Romans lead a colony to Sardinia. Ol. 100, 4 : 377 BC 28. Exasperated by the arrogance of the Lacedaemonians, the Chians, Byzantines, Rhodians, Mytilenaeans, and others revolt from the Athenians. A common council of the allies is established at Athens. The Lacedaemonians display kindness and simultaneously prepare for war. 29. Acoris, king of the Egyptians, makes war on the Persians, and makes Chabrias the Athenian his commander. The Athenians order Chabrias to return home, and send Iphicrates to the Persians. They declare war on the Lacedaemonians because of an attack made on Piraeus. They co-opt the Thebans into the council. They restore lands to the allies. 30. Hestiaea, one of the cities of Euboea, alone persists in friendship with the Lacedaemonians. Seventy cities are joined
