After these transactions, Lysander set sail for Samos; and Agis withdrew
the land force from Deceleia and disbanded the troops, dismissing the
contingents to their several cities.

(1) The MSS. here add "it was that year of the Olympiad cycle in which
Crocinas, a Thessalian, won the Stadium; when Endius was ephor at
Sparta, and Pythodorus archon at Athens, though the Athenians
indeed do not call the year by that archon's name, since he was

'anarchy'; the aforesaid oligarchy originated thus,"--which,

Now the Samians, though besieged by Lysander on all sides, were at first
unwilling to come to terms. But at the last moment, when Lysander was on
the point of assaulting the town, they accepted the terms, which allowed
every free man to leave the island, but not to carry away any part of
his property, except the clothes on his back. On these conditions they
marched out. The city and all it contained was then delivered over to
its ancient citizens by Lysander, who finally appointed ten governors
to garrison the island. (3) After which, he disbanded the allied fleet,
dismissing them to their respective cities, while he himself, with the
Lacedaemonian squadron, set sail for Laconia, bringing with him the
prows of the conquered vessels and the whole navy of Piraeus, with
the exception of
