Dergestalt wurde der Friede und das Bündnis geschlossen.
Die zwischen den Lakedämoniern und den Athenern bestehenden
Verträge aber wurden darum doch von keiner Seite gekündigt.
Die Korinther aber traten, obwohl sie mit den Argeiern ver
bündet waren, dem Bunde nicht bei, wie sie auch schon dem
vorher von den Eleern, Argeiern und Mantineern geschlossenen
Schutz- und Trutzbündnis nicht beigetreten waren, sondern
erklärt hatten, daß ihnen das bisherige Schutzbündnis genüge.
So trennten sich die Korinther von den Verbündeten und
wandten sich den Lakedämoniern wieder zu.

[1] αἱ μὲν σπονδαὶ καὶ ἡ ξυμμαχία οὕτως ἐγένοντο, καὶ αἱ τῶν Λακεδαιμονίων καὶ Ἀθηναίων οὐκ ἀπείρηντο τούτου ἕνεκα οὐδ’ ὑφ’ ἑτέρων.

[2] Κορίνθιοι δὲ Ἀργείων ὄντες ξύμμαχοι οὐκ ἐσῆλθον ἐς αὐτάς, ἀλλὰ καὶ γενομένης πρὸ τούτου Ἠλείοις καὶ Ἀργείοις καὶ Μαντινεῦσι ξυμμαχίας, τοῖς αὐτοῖς πολεμεῖν καὶ εἰρήνην ἄγειν, οὐ ξυνώμοσαν, ἀρκεῖν δ’ ἔφασαν σφίσι τὴν πρώτην γενομένην ἐπιμαχίαν, ἀλλήλοις βοηθεῖν, ξυνεπιστρατεύειν δὲ μηδενί.

[3] οἱ μὲν Κορίνθιοι οὕτως ἀπέστησαν τῶν ξυμμάχων καὶ πρὸς τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίους πάλιν τὴν γνώμην εἶχον.

[1] Thus was the league and the peace concluded; and that which was made before between the Lacedaemonians and the Athenians was, notwithstanding, by neither side renounced.

[2] But the Corinthians, although they were the confederates of the Argives, yet would they not enter into this league; nay, though there were made a league before this between [them and] the Argives, Eleians, and Mantineans that where one there all should have war or peace, yet they refused to swear to it, but said that their league defensive was enough, whereby they were bound to defend each other but not to take part one with another in invading.

[3] So the Corinthians fell off from their confederates and inclined again to the Lacedaemonians.

[1] Although the treaty and alliances were thus concluded, still the treaty between the Lacedaemonians and Athenians was not renounced by either party.

[2] Meanwhile Corinth , although the ally of the Argives, did not accede to the new treaty, any more than she had done to the alliance, defensive and offensive, formed before this between the Eleans, Argives, and Mantineans, when she declared herself content with the first alliance, which was defensive only, and which bound them to help each other, but not to join in attacking any.

[3] The Corinthians thus stood aloof from their allies, and again turned their thoughts towards Lacedaemon .

Dieser Friedensvertrag und Waffenbund wurde
abgeschlossen, ohne daß deßhalb der zwischen den Lakedämoniern und den
Athenern von einem von beiden Theilen wäre aufgekündigt worden.
Die Korinther aber, obgleich sie Bundesgenossen der Argiver waren,
betheiligten sich nicht bei dem Vertrage; ja sie hatten sogar vordem
nicht mitgeschworen, als Eleer, Argiver und Mantineer das Bündniß ¹²³
schlössen, daß sie mit Einen und denselben Krieg führen und Frieden
haben wollten, sondern vorgeschützt, es genüge das frühere
Waffenbündniß, wonach sie einander Hülfe leisten sollten, ohne daß ein Theil
den andern bei einem Angriffskrieg zu unterstützen brauchte. So
entfernten sich die Korinther von ihren Bundesgenossen und näherten
sich den Lakedämoniern wieder'

XLVIII. Ainsi fut conclu ce traité de paix et d’alliance. Ni les Lacédémoniens ni les Athéniens ne renoncèrent pour cela à celui qu’ils avaient entre eux. Les Corinthiens, quoique alliés des Argiens, ne voulurent ni adhérer à ce nouveau traité, ni même jurer l’alliance conclue précédemment entre les Éléens, les Argiens et les Mantinéens, sous la condition de ne faire la guerre et la paix que d’un commun accord. Ils déclarèrent se contenter de la première alliance défensive, en vertu de laquelle ils devaient se prêter un mutuel secours, sans attaquer personne de concert. Par là les Corinthiens se séparaient de leurs alliés, et tournaient de nouveau leurs vues vers les Lacédémoniens.

Ainsi fut conclu ce traité de paix et d’alliance. Quant à celui qui existait entre les Athéniens et les Lacédémoniens, ce ne fut ni pour les uns ni pour les autres un motif de le rompre. Les Corinthiens, quoique alliés d’Argos, n’adhérèrent pas à ce nouveau traité, non plus qu’au précédent, par lequel les Éléens, les Argiens et les Mantinéens s’étaient engagés à ne faire la paix ou la guerre que d’un commun accord. Ils déclarèrent s’en tenir à l’ancieime alliance défensive, en vertu de laquelle on devait se prêter mutuellement secours, saps s’unir pour attaquer presonne. C’est ainsi que les Corinthiens se séparèrent de leurs alliés et inclinèrent derechef vers Lacédémone.

[1] Thus the treaty and the alliance were completed; but the treaty between the Lacedaemonians and Athenians was not on this account renounced by either party.

[2] The Corinthians, however, although allies of the Argives, did not accede to the new treaty—even before this when an alliance, offensive and defensive, had been made between the Eleans, Argives, and Mantineans, they had not joined it—but said they were content with the first defensive alliance that had been made, namely to aid one another, but not to join in attacking any other party.

[3] Thus, then, the Corinthians held aloof from their allies and were turning their thoughts again to the Lacedaemonians.

[1] In this way were the treaty and alliances concluded; and yet that between the Lacedaemonians and Athenians was not renounced on this account by either party.

[2] But though the Corinthians were allies of the Argives, they did not accede to the new treaty. Nay, before this time, when an alliance was formed between the Eleans, Argives, and Mantineans, to be at war and peace with the same states, they did not join the league, but said that they were content with the first alliance which had been made for purposes of defence, on condition of succouring one another, but not joining to attack any party.

[3] The Corinthians, then, thus stood aloof from their allies, and turned their thoughts again towards the Lacedaemonians.

[1] Haec igitur foedera et societates hunc in modum initae eunt, nec tamen ideo illa, quae inter Lacedaemonios et Athenienses inita erant, ab alterutris renuntiata erant.

[2] Corinthii vero, quamvis essent Argivorum socii, haec tamen inire noluerunt, quinetiam quum paulo ante societas inter Eleos et Argivos et Manlineos inita esset, ea conditione, ut cum iisdem bellum gererent et pacem agerent, bujus societatis iiarticipes esse noluerunt, sed dixerunt sufficere sibi superiorem illam subsidiariam societatem, quam inter se inierant, ut alteri alteris mutuam opem ferrent, at nulli bellum communiter inferrent.

[3] Atque ita Corinthii ab illorum societate recesserunt, et animum ad Lacedaemonios iterum conversum habebant.

Così restò conclusa la tregua e l’alleanza ; nè però i Lacedemoni e gli Ateniesi rinunziarono a quello di che avevano convenuto insieme. Ma i Corintii sebbene legàti con gli Argivi non entrarono in questa tregua ; anzi nemmeno vollero unirsi a giurare la lega stabilita innanzi fra gli Elei, gli Argivi e i Mantineesi, laquale obbligava di avere i medesimi amici e nemici ; dicendo bastar loro la prima lega difensiva , stabilita per soccorrersi scambievole mente e non per unirsi a portar guerra ad altri; e così i Corintii si tennero subito fuori dell’ alleanza di questi, c rivolsero di nuovo l’animo ai Lacedemoni.
