The next winter, the men of Heracleia in Trachinia fought a battle against the Aenianians, Dolopians, Melians, and certain Thessalians.

For the neighbour cities were enemies to this city, as built to the prejudice only of them;
and both opposed the same from the time it was first founded, annoying it what they could;
and also in this battle overcame them and slew Xenares, a Lacedaemonian, their commander, with some others, Heracleots.
Thus ended this winter, and the twelfth year of this war.
