nians shall help the
Lacedaemonians with all their might, according to their power.

5. This treaty shall be sworn to by the same persons on either side that
swore to the other. It shall be renewed annually by the Lacedaemonians
going to Athens for the Dionysia, and the Athenians to Lacedaemon
for the Hyacinthia, and a pillar shall be set up by either party: at
Lacedaemon near the statue of Apollo at Amyclae, and at Athens on the
Acropolis near the statue of Athene. Should the Lacedaemonians
and Athenians see to add to or take away from the alliance in any
particular, it shall be consistent with their oaths for both parties to
do so, according to their discretion.

Those who took the oath for the Lacedaemonians were Pleistoanax,
Agis, Pleistolas, Damagetus, Chionis, Metagenes, Acanthus, Daithus,
Ischagoras, Philocharidas, Zeuxidas, Antippus, Alcinadas, Tellis,
Empedias, Menas, and Laphilus; for the Athenians, Lampon, Isthmionicus,
Laches, Nicias, Euthydemus, Procles, Pythodorus, Hagnon, Myrtilus,
Thrasycles, Theagenes, Aristocrates, Iolcius, Timocrates, Leon,
Lamachus, and Demosthenes.

This alliance was made not long after the treaty; and the Athenians gave
back the men from the island to the Lacedaemonians, and the summer of
the eleventh year began. This completes the history of the first war,
which occupied the whole of the ten years previously.

_Feeling against Sparta in Peloponnese--League of the Mantineans,
Eleans, Argives, and Athenians--Battle of Mantinea and breaking up of
the League_

After the treaty and the alliance between the Lacedaemonians and
Athenians, concluded after the ten years' war, in the ephorate of
Pleistolas at Lacedaemon, and the archonship of Alcaeus at Athens, the
states which had accepted them were at peace; but the Corinthians and
some of the cities in Peloponnese trying to disturb the settlement,
a fresh agitation was instantly commenced by the allies against
Lacedaemon. Further, the Lacedaemonians, as time went on, became
suspected by the Athenians through their not performing some of the
provisions in the treaty; and though for six years and ten months
they abstained from invasion of each other's territory, yet abroad an
unstable armistice did not prevent either party doing the other the most
effectual injury, until they were finally obliged to break the treaty
made after the ten years' war and to have recourse to open hostilities.
