The generals accepting their offers, an
armistice was concluded upon the terms following:— That the Lacedaemonians should bring to Pylos and deliver up to the
Athenians the ships that had fought in the late engagement, and all in
Laconia that were vessels of war, and should make no attack on the
fortification either by land or by sea.
That the Athenians should allow the Lacedaemonians on the mainland to send
to the men in the island a certain fixed quantity of corn ready kneaded,
that is to say, two quarts of barley meal, one pint of wine, and a piece of
meat for each man, and half the same quantity for a servant.
That this allowance should be sent in under the eyes of the Athenians, and
that no boat should sail to the island except openly.
That the Athenians should continue to guard the island the same as before,
without however landing upon it, and should refrain from attacking the
Peloponnesian troops either by land or by sea.
[2]
That if either party should infringe any of these terms in the slightest
particular, the armistice should be at once void.
That the armistice should hold good until the return of the Lacedaemonian
envoys from Athens—the Athenians sending them thither in a galley
and bringing them back again—and upon the arrival of the envoys
should be at an end, and the ships be restored by the Athenians in the same
state as they received them.
[3]
Such were the terms of the armistice, and the ships were delivered over to
the number of sixty, and the envoys sent off accordingly.
Arrived at Athens they spoke as follows:—
