„Unter diesen Bedingungen haben mit dem König und
Tissaphernes die Lakedämonier und ihre Verbündeten eine
Bundesgenossenschaft abgeschlossen. Alles Land und alle Städte, welche der
König im Besitz hat und die Vorfahren des Königs im Besitz hatten,
sollen des Königs sein. Und wenn aus diesen Städten den Athenern
Geld oder anderer Werth zufloß, so sollen der König und die
Lakedämonier und ihre Bundesgenossen in Gemeinschaft verhindern, daß
die Athener Geld oder andere Dinge von dort erhalten. Und den
Krieg gegen die Athener sollen der König und die Lakedämonier und
ihre Bundesgenossen in Gemeinschaft führen. Und Frieden zu
schließen mit den Athenern soll nicht erlaubt sein, wenn nicht beide
Theile es beschließen, der König und die Lakedämonier und ihre
Bundesgenossen. Wer aber von dem König abfällt, der soll auch Feind
der Lakedämonier und, ihrer Bundesgenossen sein, und wer von den
Lakedämoniern und ihren Bundesgenossen abfällt, der soll auch
gleicher Maßen Feind des Königs sein."
