§4.16.1δεξαμένων δὲ τῶν στρατηγῶν τὸν λόγον ἐγίγνοντο σπονδαὶ τοιαίδε, Λακεδαιμονίους μὲν τὰς ναῦς ἐν αἷς ἐναυμάχησαν καὶ τὰς ἐν τῇ Λακωνικῇ πάσας, ὅσαι ἦσαν μακραί, παραδοῦναι κομίσαντας ἐς Πύλον Ἀθηναίοις, καὶ ὅπλα μὴ ἐπιφέρειν τῷ τειχίσματι μήτε κατὰ γῆν μήτε κατὰ θάλασσαν, Ἀθηναίους δὲ τοῖς ἐν τῇ νήσῳ ἀνδράσι σῖτον ἐᾶν τοὺς ἐν τῇ ἠπείρῳ Λακεδαιμονίους ἐκπέμπειν τακτὸν καὶ μεμαγμένον, δύο χοίνικας ἑκάστῳ Ἀττικὰς ἀλφίτων καὶ δύο κοτύλας οἴνου καὶ κρέας, θεράποντι δὲ τούτων ἡμίσεα· ταῦτα δὲ ὁρώντων τῶν Ἀθηναίων ἐσπέμπειν καὶ πλοῖον μηδὲν ἐσπλεῖν λάθρᾳ· φυλάσσειν δὲ καὶ τὴν νῆσον Ἀθηναίους μηδὲν ἧσσον, ὅσα μὴ ἀποβαίνοντας, καὶ ὅπλα μὴ ἐπιφέρειν τῷ Πελοποννησίων στρατῷ μήτε κατὰ γῆν μήτε κατὰ θάλασσαν.
When the generals accepted the proposal, an armistice was made on the following terms: that the Lacedaemonians should deliver to the Athenians at Pylos the ships in which they had fought the sea-fight, and all their other ships of war in Laconia, having brought them there; and they should not make any attack upon the fortification either by land or by sea; on the other hand, the Athenians should permit the Lacedaemonians on the mainland to send to the men on the island a fixed ration of kneaded barley-meal, namely, two Attic choenixes of barley-meal for each man, two cotylae of wine, and a portion of meat, and half of these amounts for a servant; these provisions should be sent under the eyes of the Athenians, and no vessel should sail in secretly; the Athenians should guard the island no less than before, so long as they did not land upon it, and should not make any attack upon the Peloponnesian army either by land or by sea.
§4.16.2ὅτι δ’ ἂν τούτων παραβαίνωσιν ἑκάτεροι καὶ ὁτιοῦν, τότε λελύσθαι τὰς σπονδάς.
If either party should violate any of these conditions in any respect, the armistice was to be immediately void.
ἐσπεῖσθαι δὲ αὐτὰς μέχρι οὗ ἐπανέλθωσιν οἱ ἐκ τῶν Ἀθηνῶν Λακεδαιμονίων πρέσβεις· ἀποστεῖλαι δὲ αὐτοὺς τριήρει Ἀθηναίους καὶ πάλιν κομίσαι.

And upon their return, this armistice was to end, and the Athenians were to restore the ships in the same condition in which they had received them.
§4.16.3αἱ μὲν σπονδαὶ ἐπὶ τούτοις ἐγένοντο, καὶ αἱ νῆες παρεδόθησαν οὖσαι περὶ ἑξήκοντα, καὶ οἱ πρέσβεις ἀπεστάλησαν.
The armistice was made on these terms, and the ships, about sixty in number, were delivered, and the ambassadors were sent.
ἀφικόμενοι δὲ ἐς τὰς Ἀθήνας ἔλεξαν τοιάδε.
On arriving at Athens they spoke as follows:
