their country.
3. The treaty shall be binding for fifty years upon the Athenians and
the allies of the Athenians, and upon the Lacedaemonians and the allies
of the Lacedaemonians, without fraud or hurt by land or by sea.
4. It shall not be lawful to take up arms, with intent to do hurt,
either for the Lacedaemonians and their allies against the Athenians
and their allies, or for the Athenians and their allies against the
Lacedaemonians and their allies, in any way or means whatsoever. But
should any difference arise between them they are to have recourse to
law and oaths, according as may be agreed between the parties.
5. The Lacedaemonians and their allies shall give back Amphipolis to
the Athenians. Nevertheless, in the case of cities given up by the
Lacedaemonians to the Athenians, the inhabitants shall be allowed to go
where they please and to take their property with them: and the cities
shall be independent, paying only the tribute of Aristides. And it shall
not be lawful for the Athenians or their allies to carry on war against
them after the treaty has been concluded, so long as the tribute is
paid. The cities referred to are Argilus, Stagirus, Acanthus, Scolus,
Olynthus, and Spartolus. These cities shall be neutral, allies neither
of the Lacedaemonians nor of the Athenians: but if the cities consent,
it shall be lawful for the Athenians to make them their allies, provided
always that the cities wish it. The Mecybernaeans, Sanaeans, and
Singaeans shall inhabit their own cities, as also the Olynthians and
Acanthians: but the Lacedaemonians and their allies shall give back
Panactum to the Athenians.
6. The Athenians shall give back Coryphasium, Cythera, Methana,
Lacedaemonians that are in the prison at Athens or elsewhere in the
Athenian dominions, and shall let go the Peloponnesians besieged in
Scione, and all others in Scione that are allies of the Lacedaemonians,
and all whom Brasidas sent in there, and any others of the allies of the
Lacedaemonians that may be in the prison at Athens or elsewhere in the
Athenian dominions.
7. The Lacedaemonians and their allies shall in like manner give back
any of the Athenians or their allies that they may have in their hands.
8. In the case of Scione, Torone, and Sermylium, and any other cities
that the Athenians may have, the Athenians may adopt such measures as
they please.
9. The Athenians shall take an oath to the Lacedaemonians and their
allies, city by
