In Europe the Lacedaemonians were forced by their defeat in a decisive battle to make overtures to Antipater.1 He referred his reply to the council of the Hellenic League.2 When the delegates came together in Corinth, there was a long discussion on both sides, and they decided to pass the issue on without a decision to Alexander.

1 Continued from chaps. 48.1 and 62.6-63.4.

2 Curtius 6.1.19 suggests that this was due to Antipater's fear of Alexander.
