it in any vessel rowed by oars and of not more than five
hundred talents tonnage, not a vessel of war.

5. That all heralds and embassies, with as many attendants as they
please, for concluding the war and adjusting claims, shall have free
passage, going and coming, to Peloponnese or Athens by land and by sea.

6. That during the truce, deserters whether bond or free shall be
received neither by you, nor by us.

7. Further, that satisfaction shall be given by you to us and by us to
you according to the public law of our several countries, all disputes
being settled by law without recourse to hostilities.

The Lacedaemonians and allies agree to these articles; but if you have
anything fairer or juster to suggest, come to Lacedaemon and let us
know: whatever shall be just will meet with no objection either from
the Lacedaemonians or from the allies. Only let those who come come with
full powers, as you desire us. The truce shall be for one year.

Approved by the people.

The tribe of Acamantis had the prytany, Phoenippus was secretary,
Niciades chairman. Laches moved, in the name of the good luck of the
Athenians, that they should conclude the armistice upon the terms agreed
upon by the Lacedaemonians and the allies. It was agreed accordingly
in the popular assembly that the armistice should be for one year,
beginning that very day, the fourteenth of the month of Elaphebolion;
during which time ambassadors and heralds should go and come between the
two countries to discuss the bases of a pacification. That the generals
and prytanes should call an assembly of the people, in which the
Athenians should first consult on the peace, and on the mode in which
the embassy for putting an end to the war should be admitted. That the
embassy now present should at once take the engagement before the people
to keep well and truly this truce for one year.

On these terms the Lacedaemonians concluded with the Athenians and their
allies on the twelfth day of the Spartan month Gerastius; the allies
also taking the oaths. Those who concluded and poured the libation
were Taurus, son of Echetimides, Athenaeus, son of Pericleidas, and
Philocharidas, son of Eryxidaidas, Lacedaemonians; Aeneas, son of
Ocytus, and Euphamidas, son of Aristonymus, Corinthians; Damotimus, son
of Naucrates, and Onasimus, son of Megacles, Sicyonians; Nicasus, son of
Cecalus, and Menecrates, son of Amphidorus, Megarians; and Amphias, son
of Eupaidas, an Epidauria
