On the Peace

1. Thebes was one of Sparta ’s strongest allies against Athens. See Thuc. 4.93 .
2. Instanced by the treacherous seizure of the Theban citadel (the Cadmea) by the Spartan Phoebidas. See Xen. Hell. 5.2.25 ff.
3. Cf. Isoc. 12.104 . The “ten thousand” mercenaries led by the Spartan Clearchus to support Cyrus against King Artaxerxes were not officially dispatched, although sanctioned, by Sparta . For the fortunes of this army see Isoc. 4.145-149 ; Isoc. 5.90 ff. ; and Xen. Anab.
