Nachdem die Lakedämonier und die Athener den Frieden
und das Bündnis geschlossen, wozu es nach dem zehnjährigen
Kriege unter dem Ephorat des Pleistolas in Lakedämon und
dem Archontat des Alkaios in Athen gekommen war, herrschte
unter den Staaten, die ihn angenommen, allerdings Frieden.
Die Korinther aber und einige Staaten im Peloponnes wollten
sich bei den getroffenen Bestimmungen nicht beruhigen, und
schon bald kam es auch noch anderweit zu Reibungen zwischen
den Lakedämoniern und ihren Bundesgenossen. Überdies
wurden die Lakedämonier im Laufe der Zeit auch den Athenern
verdächtig, da sie in verschiedener Beziehung den vertrags
mäßigen Bestimmungen nicht nachkamen. Sechs Jahr und
zehn Monat vermieden sie es zwar, sich im eigenen Lande an
zugreifen, auswärts aber suchten sie einander möglichst Ab
bruch zu tun, so daß der Friede hier wenig mehr zu bedeuten
hatte. Dann aber sahen sie sich doch genötigt, den nach den
zehn Jahren geschlossenen Frieden förmlich zu brechen und
den Krieg offen wieder aufzunehmen.

[1] After the peace and league made between the Lacedaemonians and Athenians after the ten years' war, Pleistolas being ephore at Lacedaemon and Alcaeus archon of Athens, though there were peace to those that had accepted it, yet the Corinthians and some cities of Peloponnesus endeavoured to overthrow what was done, and presently arose another stir by the confederates against Lacedaemon.

[2] And the Lacedaemonians also after a while became suspect unto the Athenians for not performing somewhat agreed on in the articles.

[3] And for six years and ten months they abstained from entering into each other's territories with their arms; but the peace being weak, they did each other abroad what harm they could, and in the end were forced to dissolve the peace made after those ten years, and fell again into open war.

[1] After the treaty and the alliance between the Lacedaemonians and Athenians, concluded after the ten years' war, in the Ephorate of Pleistolas at Lacedaemon , and the Archonship of Alcaeus at Athens , the states which had accepted them were at peace; but the Corinthians and some of the cities in Peloponnese trying to disturb the settlement, a fresh agitation was instantly commenced by the allies against Lacedaemon .

[2] Further, the Lacedaemonians, as time went on, became suspected by the Athenians through their not performing some of the provisions in the treaty;

[3] and though for six years and ten months they abstained from invasion of each other's territory, yet abroad an unstable armistice did not prevent either party doing the other the most effectual injury, until they were finally obliged to break the treaty made after the ten years' war and to have recourse to open hostilities.

¹ Nach dem Friedensvertrage und dem Waffenbunde der
Lakedämonier und der Athener, welche zu Ende des zehnjährigen
Krieges abgeschlossen worden waren, als Pleistolas Ephore in
Lakedämon und Alkäos Archon in Athen war, herrschte zwar Friede
zwischen denen, welche denselben angenommen hatten, die Korinthier aber
und einige peloponnesifche Städte suchten den Vertrag zu erschüttern,
und bald ergab sich auch noch weiteres Zerwürfniß zwischen
Lakedämon und seinen Bundesgenossen. Aber auch den Athenern wurden
die Lakedämonier im Verlaufe der Zeit verdächtig, denn sie erfüllten
in einigen Punkten nicht, was vereinbart worden war. Sechs Jahre
zwar und zehn Monate enthielten sie sich feindlicher Einfälle in das
gegenseitige Gebiet, auswärts aber fügten sie sich unter trügerischer
Waffenruhe einander großen Schaden zu, und später wurden sie dann
genöthigt, den nach dem zehnjährigen Kampf geschlossenen Vertrag
zu lösen und den offenen Krieg von Neuem zu beginnen.

XXV. Après le traité de paix et d’alliance conclu entre les Lacédémoniens et les Athéniens, à la suite de la guerre de dix ans, Plistolas étant éphore à Lacédémone et Alcée archonte à Athènes, il y eut paix entre les États qui avaient adhéré. Mais les Corinthiens et quelques-unes des villes du Péloponnèse s’agitaient contre cet arrangement, et tout aussitôt se produisirent de nouveaux mouvements des alliés contre Lacédémone. Les Lacédémoniens, de leur côté, devinrent, avec le temps, suspects aux Athéniens, pour ne s’être pas conformés à quelques-unes des stipulations du ¹ traité. Cependant il se passa six ans² et dix mois sans que les deux peuples fissent aucune expédition sur le territoire l’un de l'autre : mais au dehors, malgré cette trêve mal assurée, ils se faisaient réciproquement tout le mal possible, jusqu’à ce qu’enfîn ils furent obligés de rompre la trêve conclue après les dix ans d’hostilités et en vinrent de nouveau à une guerre ouverte.

Après le traité de paix et d’alliance entre les Athéniens et les Lacédémoniens, traité qui mit fin à la guerre de dix ans et fut conclu sous l’éphorat de Plistolas à Lacédémone et sous Varchontat d’Alcéos à Athènes, la paix fut rétablie entre les États qui en avaient accepté les conditions. Mais les Corinthiens et quelques villes du Péloponèse cherchèrent à brouiller les affaires, et bientôt l’on vit s’élever des difficultés nouvelles entre les Lacédémoniens et leurs alliés. Avec le temps, les Lacédémoniens devinrent suspects aux Athéniens, parce qu’ils n’exécutaient pas certaines clauses du traité. Pendant six ans et dix mois¹, les deux peuples s’abstinrent, il est vrai, d’agressions directes; mais au dehors ils se firent tout le mal compatible avec une réconciliation mal assurée, jusqu’à ce qu’enfin ils furent amenés à rompre la paix conclue après les dix ans d’hostilités, et en vinrent de nouveau à une guerre ouverte.

[1] After the treaty and the alliance between the Lacedaemonians and Athenians, which were concluded at the end of the ten years' war, in the ephorate of Pleistolas at Lacedaemon and the archonship of Alcaeus at Athens, those who accepted these were at peace; but the Corinthians and some of the cities in the Peloponnesus attempted to disturb the agreements, and at once other trouble also began between Lacedaemon and her allies.

[2] At the same time, too, the Lacedaemonians, as time went on, incurred the suspicion of the Athenians, by not acting in some matters in accordance with the articles of the agreement.

[3] For six years and ten months the two powers abstained from invading each other's territory; in other regions, however, there was only an unstable cessation of arms and they kept on doing each other the greatest possible damage. But at last they were forced to break the treaty which had been concluded after the first ten years, and again engaged in open war.

[1] After the treaty, and the alliance between the Lacedaemonians and Athenians, which were concluded at the end of the ten years' war, in the ephoralty of Pleistolas at Lacedaemon, and the archonship of Alcaeus at Athens, those who had acceded to them were at peace; but the Corinthians, and some of the states in the Peloponnese, were trying to alter what had been done; and another disturbance immediately arose on the part of the allies against Lacedaemon.

[2] Moreover, the Lacedaemonians, as time went on, became suspected by the Athenians also, through not performing in some respects what had been agreed on, according to the treaty.

[3] And though for six years and ten months they abstained from marching against each other's territory, yet out of it, during the existence of a doubtful suspension of arms, they were doing one another the greatest possible damage. Subsequently, however, they were compelled to break the treaty concluded after the ten years' war, and again proceeded to open hostilities.

[1] Post foedera autem et societatem Lacedaemoniorum, quae post decenne bellum inita est, quum Plistolas Lacedsemone ephorus esset et Alcaeus Athenis archon, apud lilos quidem, qui haec foedera acceperant, pax erat, Corinthii vero et quaedam Peloponnesi civitates, quae acta erant, concutiebant, et confestim alius sociorum motus existebat adversus Lacedaemonios.

[2] Atque simul etiam Lacedaemonii progressu temporis Atheniensibus in suspicionem venerunt , quod quaedam non praestarent ex conventis, quae in foederum conditionibus continebantur.

[3] Et ad sfe quidem annos decemque menses sibi temperarunt, ne alteri in alterorum agrum cum exercitu infesto proficiscerentur, sed extra per inducias minime firmas se mutuo maximis detrimentis afficiebant; deinde vero etiam illa post decem annos foedera rumpere coacti rursus ad apertum bellum venerunt.

Appresso la tregua e l’alleanza tra9 Lacedemoni e gli Ateniesi, stabilite dopo dieci anni di guerra, essendo Plistola eforo in Sparta, ed Alceo arconte in Atene, quei che l’avevano accettate stavano in pace. Ma i Corinti! ed alcune città del Peloponneso rimescolarono le cose stabilite, e subito insorsero altre turbolenze di alleati contro Sparta. Anzi in processo di tempo i Lacedemoni stessi tra' sgredendo in alcuiii punti le convenzioni fatte divennero sospetti agli Ateniesi ; e quantunque per Sei anni e dieci mesi si astenessero dal portare le armi gli uni sul territorio degli altri , nondimeno per la poca stabilità di questa tregua facevansi scambievolmente danni gravissimi al di fuori. Ed alla fine costretti a romperla dopo dieci anni, si rtiisefo di nuovo in guerra manifesta.
