[5] I reckon Leosthenes also and Aratos benefactors of all the Greeks. Leosthenes, in spite of Alexander’s opposition, brought back safe by sea to Greece the force of Greek mercenaries in Persia [ en Persais], about fifty thousand in number, who had descended to the coast. As for Aratos, I have related his exploits in my history of Sikyon.
