\nAfter the treaty and the alliance between the Lacedaemonians and the Athenians, which were concluded after the ten years' war, when Pleistolas was ephor at Lacedaemon and Alcaeus archon at Athens, there was peace for those who had accepted them; but the Corinthians and some of the Peloponnesian cities tried to disturb the settlement, and immediately another disturbance arose among the allies against Lacedaemon.\n\nAt the same time, as time went on, the Lacedaemonians also became suspected by the Athenians, because in some respects they did not perform what had been agreed upon in the treaty.\n\nAnd for six years and ten months they abstained from invading each other's territory, but externally, under an unstable truce, they did each other the greatest possible damage; then, however, being forced to break the treaty made after the ten years, they once again entered into open war.
