By these arguments Pagondas persuaded the
Boeotians to attack the Athenians, and quickly breaking up his camp led his
army forward, it being now late in the day.
On nearing the enemy, he halted in a position where a hill intervening
prevented the two armies from seeing each other, and then formed and
prepared for action.
[2]
Meanwhile Hippocrates at Delium, informed of the approach of the Boeotians,
sent orders to his troops to throw themselves into line, and himself joined
them not long afterwards, leaving about three hundred horse behind him at
Delium, at once to guard the place in case of attack, and to watch their
opportunity and fall upon the Boeotians during the battle.
[3]
The Boeotians placed a detachment to deal with these, and when everything
was arranged to their satisfaction appeared over the hill, and halted in the
order which they had determined on, to the number of seven thousand heavy
infantry, more than ten thousand light troops, one thousand horse, and five
hundred targeteers.
[4]
On their right were the Thebans and those of their province, in the center
the Haliartians, Coronaeans, Copaeans, and the other people around the lake,
and on the left the Thespians, Tanagraeans, and Orchomenians, the cavalry
and the light troops being at the extremity of each wing.
The Thebans formed twenty-five shields deep, the rest as they pleased.
[5]
Such was the strength and disposition of the Boeotian army.
