While the Argives were in Epidaurus embassies
from the cities assembled at Mantinea, upon the invitation of the Athenians.
The conference having begun, the Corinthian Euphamidas said that their
actions did not agree with their words; while they were sitting deliberating about peace, the Epidaurians and their
allies and the Argives were arrayed against each other in arms; deputies from each party should first go and separate the armies, and then
the talk about peace might be resumed.
[2]
In compliance with this suggestion they went and brought back the Argives
from Epidaurus, and afterwards reassembled, but without succeeding any
better in coming to a conclusion; and the Argives a second time invaded Epidaurus and plundered the country.
[3]
The Lacedaemonians also marched out to Caryae; but the frontier sacrifices again proving unfavorable, they went back
again,
[4]
and the Argives, after ravaging about a third of the Epidaurian territory,
returned home.
Meanwhile a thousand Athenian heavy infantry had come to their aid under
the command of Alcibiades, but finding that the Lacedaemonian expedition was
at an end, and that they were no longer wanted, went back again.So passed the summer.
