There was subsequently another invasion of the territory of the Eleians
on the part of the Arcadians, who were influenced by the representations
of the exiles that the city would come over to them. But the attempt
proved abortive. The Achaeans, who had now become friends with the
Eleians, kept firm guard on the capital, so that the Arcadians had
to retire without further exploit than that of ravaging the country.
Immediately, however, on marching out of Eleian territory they were
informed that the men of Pellene were in Elis; whereupon they executed
a marvellously long night march and seized the Pellenian township of
Olurus (15) (the Pellenians at the date in question having already
reverted to their old alliance with Lacedaemon). And now the men of
Pellene, in their turn getting wind of what had happened at Olurus,
made their way round as best they could, and got into their own city of
Pellene; after which there was nothing for it but to carry on war with
the Arcadians in Olurus and the whole body of their own commons; and in
spite of their small numbers they did not cease till they had reduced
Olurus by siege.

(15) This fortress (placed by Leake at modern Xylokastro) lay at the
entrance of the gorge of the Sys, leading from the Aigialos or
coast-land into the territory of Pellene, which itself lay about
sixty stades from the sea at modern Zougra. For the part played by
Pellene as one of the twelve Achaean states at this period, see
above.

B.C. 365. (16) The Arcadians were presently engaged on another campaign
against Elis. While they were encamped between Cyllene (17) and the
capital the Eleians attacked them, but the Arcadians made a stand
and won the battle. Andromachus, the Eleian cavalry general, who was
regarded as responsible for the engagement, made an end of himself;
and the rest withdrew into the city. This battle cost the life also
of another there present--the Spartan Socleides; since, it will be
understood, the Lacedaemonians had by this time become allies of the
Eleians. Consequently the Eleians, being sore pressed on their own
territory, sent an embassy and begged the Lacedaemonians to organise an
expedition against the Arcadians. They were persuaded that in this way
they would best arrest the progress of the Arcadians, who would thus
be placed between the two foes. I
