and all of these were leading citizens. And although these misfortunes had already befallen them, Fortune brought upon them a second disaster, in that she increased once more the disaffection which prevailed among them.

For never in any state have there taken place such murderings of citizens nor have therning to hand the city over to the Lacedaemonians, sent to the Athenians for an army to protect their city.
