held sway over it for two hundred years, while on the other hand they would rob us of Messene, which we have held for more than twice that length of time;Messene was not actually subdued until 724-723 B.C. Perhaps Isocrates is speaking loosely, or perhaps he follows another source than Pausanias, who is almost our sole authority for this period.

But as soon as you in requital voted to exclude them from the peace,374 B.C., between Athens and Sparta. they left off their arrogance and came to you in more humble mood than we Plataeans are in now.
