The Ephors listened carefully, and then
departed, taking no action for the moment, but, having at last attained to
certainty, were preparing to arrest him in the city.
It is reported that, as he was about to be arrested in the street, he saw
from the face of one of the Ephors what he was coming for; another, too, made him a secret signal, and betrayed it to him from
kindness.
Setting off with a run for the temple of the goddess of the Brazen House,
the enclosure of which was near at hand, he succeeded in taking sanctuary
before they took him, and entering into a small chamber, which formed part
of the temple, to avoid being exposed to the weather, lay still there.
[2]
The Ephors, for the moment distanced in the pursuit, afterwards took off
the roof of the chamber, and having made sure that he was inside, shut him
in, barricaded the doors, and staying before the place, reduced him by
starvation.
[3]
When they found that he was on the point of expiring, just as he was, in
the chamber, they brought him out of the temple, while the breath was still
in him, and as soon as he was brought out he died.
[4]
They were going to throw him into the Kaiadas, where they cast criminals,
but finally decided to inter him somewhere near.
But the god at Delphi afterwards ordered the Lacedaemonians to remove the
tomb to the place of his death—where he now lies in the
consecrated ground, as an inscription on a monument declares—and,
as what had been done was a curse to them, to give back two bodies instead
of one to the goddess of the Brazen House.
So they had two brazen statues made, and dedicated them as a substitute for
Pausanias.
