After taking Orchomenus, the allies disagreed over their next target, causing the Eleans to withdraw. The remaining allies prepared to march against Tegea, with some elements inside the city ready to betray it to them.
μετὰ δὲ τοῦτο ἔχοντες ἤδη τὸν Ὀρχομενὸν ἐβουλεύοντο οἱ ξύμμαχοι ἐφ’ ὅτι χρὴ πρῶτον ἰέναι τῶν λοιπῶν.1 καὶ Ἠλεῖοι μὲν ἐπὶ Λέπρεον ἐκέλευον, Μαντινῆς δὲ ἐπὶ Τεγέαν· καὶ προσέθεντο οἱ Ἀργεῖοι καὶ Ἀθηναῖοι τοῖς Μαντινεῦσιν.
After this, holding Orchomenus already, the allies deliberated on which of the remaining places they ought to march against first. And the Eleans urged going against Lepreum, but the Mantineans against Tegea; and the Argives and the Athenians sided with the Mantineans.
καὶ οἱ μὲν Ἠλεῖοι ὀργισθέντες ὅτι οὐκ ἐπὶ Λέπρεον ἐψηφίσαντο ἀνεχώρησαν ἐπ’ οἴκου· οἱ δὲ ἄλλοι ξύμμαχοι παρεσκευάζοντο ἐν τῇ Μαντινείᾳ ὡς ἐπὶ Τεγέαν ἰόντες.2 καί τινες αὐτοῖς καὶ αὐτῶν τῶν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐνεδίδοσαν3 τὰ πράγματα.
And the Eleans, being angry because the others had not voted to go against Lepreum, returned home; but the other allies made preparations in Mantinea with the intention of marching against Tegea. And some of those within the city itself were also trying to betray the affairs to them.
- 5.62.1τῶν λοιπῶν
Partitive genitive, depending on the relative/interrogative pronoun ἐφ’ ὅτι (against which). It limits the scope to 'which of the remaining places'.
- 5.62.2ὡς ἐπὶ Τεγέαν ἰόντες
The particle ὡς combined with the present participle ἰόντες (going). It expresses the subjective intention or purpose of the subjects ('with the intention of marching against Tegea').
- 5.62.2ἐνεδίδοσαν
Imperfect tense of the verb ἐνδίδωμι (to deliver up, betray), expressing conative action ('they were trying to betray' or 'attempting to hand over'). The dative αὐτοῖς refers to the allies as the recipients of this betrayal.
