3. Likewise the Athenians shall go to the relief of Argos, Mantinea,
and Elis, if an enemy invade the country of Elis, Mantinea, or Argos,
according as the above cities may require by message, in such way
as they most effectually can, to the best of their power. But if the
invader be gone after plundering the territory, the state offending
shall be the enemy of the Athenians, Argives, Mantineans, and Eleans,
and war shall be made against it by all these cities, and peace may not
be made with that state except all the above cities agree to it.

4. No armed force shall be allowed to pass for hostile purposes through
the country of the powers contracting, or of the allies in their
respective empires, or to go by sea, except all the cities--that is to
say, Athens, Argos, Mantinea, and Elis--vote for such passage.

5. The relieving troops shall be maintained by the city sending them for
thirty days from their arrival in the city that has required them, and
upon their return in the same way: if their services be desired for a
longer period, the city that sent for them shall maintain them, at the
rate of three Aeginetan obols per day for a heavy-armed soldier, archer,
or light soldier, and an Aeginetan drachma for a trooper.

6. The city sending for the troops shall have the command when the war
is in its own country: but in case of the cities resolving upon a joint
expedition the command shall be equally divided among all the cities.

7. The treaty shall be sworn to by the Athenians for themselves and
their allies, by the Argives, Mantineans, Eleans, and their allies, by
each state individually. Each shall swear the oath most binding in his
country over full-grown victims: the oath being as follows:

"I STAND BY THE ALLIANCE AND ITS ARTICLES, JUSTLY, INNOCENTLY, AND
SINCERELY, AND I WILL NOT TRANSGRESS THE SAME IN ANY WAY OR MEANS
WHATSOEVER."

The oath shall be taken at Athens by the Senate and the magistrates, the
Prytanes administering it: at Argos by the Senate, the Eighty, and the
Artynae, the Eighty administering it: at Mantinea by the Demiurgi,
the Senate, and the other magistrates, the Theori and Polemarchs
administering it: at Elis by the Demiurgi, the magistrates, and the Six
Hundred, the Demiurgi and the Thesmophylaces administering it. The oaths
shall be renewed by the Athenians going to Elis, Mantinea, and Argos
thirty days before the Olympic games: by the Argives, Mantineans,
and Eleans going to Athens ten
