Ch. 92. Rheomithres, himself also a traitor, is reconciled with the king through treachery. Tachos appointed Agesilaus over his mercenaries, and Chabrias over his fleet. He himself, having set out for Phoenicia, is betrayed by the commander to whom he had entrusted Egypt. Therefore he flees to Artaxerxes, by whom he is placed in command of the war waged against the Egyptians. 93. Artaxerxes dies; Ochus succeeds him. Tachos, by the valor and victory of Agesilaus, recovers Egypt. Agesilaus, about to return to his homeland, dies. 94. The Arcadians, who had once been gathered together at Megalopolis, upon the making of peace depart to their former homelands, but are compelled by Pammenes, the Theban commander, to return to Megalopolis. Athanas begins to write the affairs of Dion from this point. Ol. 104, 4 : 361 BC 95. Alexander of Pherae attacks the Cyclades, besieges Peparethus. Leosthenes, sent by the Athenians to aid the besieged, having conducted the affair badly, was condemned to death. Chares, appointed in his place, accomplished many deeds. Dionysodorus and Anaxis wrote events down to this year.
Commentario Arethe
Ol. 104, 4 : 361 a. Chr.
The Argumenta of Book XV end at Olympiad 104.4 (= 361 BC), establishing the chronological terminus of Vol. III. The volume thus covers 54 years of history (415–361 BC) — a period that saw the complete transformation of the Greek world: the fall of Athens, the rise and fall of Spartan hegemony, the Theban ascendancy under Epaminondas, and in Sicily, the entire arc of Dionysius I's tyranny. The next volume (Vol. IV, edited by Fischer, not Vogel) would begin with Book XVI and the rise of Philip II of Macedon. Vogel's editorial work on Diodorus thus encompasses the period from the mythical past through the end of the independent Greek polis — a fitting monument to 19th-century German Altertumswissenschaft.
