9.
They were now impatient to set sail, but the
Corinthians were not willing to accompany them until they had celebrated the
Isthmian festival, which fell at that time.
Upon this Agis proposed to them to save their scruples about breaking the
Isthmian truce by taking the expedition upon himself.
[2]
The Corinthians not consenting to this, a delay ensued, during which the
Athenians conceived suspicions of what was preparing at Chios, and sent
Aristocrates, one of their generals, and charged them with the fact, and
upon the denial of the Chians, ordered them to send with them a contingent
of ships, as faithful confederates.
Seven were sent accordingly.
[3]
The reason of the despatch of the ships lay in the fact that the mass of
the Chians were not privy to the negotiations, while the few who were in the
secret did not wish to break with the multitude until they had something
positive to lean upon, and no longer expected the Peloponnesians to arrive
by reason of their delay.
