Thereupon the Athenians,1who had arrived on the
scene too late for action, returned to Attica without accomplishing anything of note; but
others of their allies, to the number of four thousand men, came to reinforce the
Lacedaemonians. Besides these they attached to their numbers the Helots who had been newly
emancipated, a thousand, and two hundred of the Boeotian fugitives, and summoned no small
number from the neighbouring cities, so that they created an army comparable to that of the
enemy. As they maintained these in one body and trained them, they gained more and more
confidence and made themselves ready for the decisive contest.
