About this time the Athenians began to build
the long walls to the sea, that towards Phalerum and that towards Piraeus.
Meanwhile the Phocians made an expedition against Doris, the old home of
the Lacedaemonians, containing the towns of Boeum, Kitinium, and Erineum.
They had taken one of these towns, when the Lacedaemonians under Nicomedes,
son of Cleombrotus, commanding for King Pleistoanax, son of Pausanias, who
was still a minor, came to the aid of the Dorians with fifteen hundred heavy

written by the same Thucydides, and Athenian, in the chronological order of
events by summers and winters, to the time when the Lacedaemonians and their
allies put an end to the Athenian empire, and took the Long Walls and
Piraeus.
The war had then lasted for twenty-seven years in all.
Only a mistaken judgment can object to including the interval of treaty in
the war.
Looked at by the light of facts it cannot, it will be found, be rationally
