Book 6
92.1
Thus the Aeginetans dealt with each other. When the Athenians came, they fought them at sea with seventy ships; the Aeginetans were defeated in the sea-fight and asked for help from the Argives, as they had done before. But this time the Argives would not aid them, holding a grudge because ships of +Aegina [23.433,37.75] (inhabited place), Aegina, Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Aegina had been taken by force by Cleomenes and put in on the +Nomos Argolidhos [22.833,37.666] (department), Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Argolid coast, where their crews landed with the Lacedaemonians; men from ships of Sikyon [22.725,37.9833] (Perseus)Sicyon also took part in the same invasion.
92.2
The Argives laid on them the payment of a fine of a thousand talents, five hundred each. The Sicyonians confessed that they had done wrong and agreed to go free with a payment of a hundred talents, but the Aeginetans made no such confession and remained stubborn. For this cause the Argive state sent no one to aid them at their request, but about a thousand came voluntarily, led by a captain whose name was Eurybates, a man who practiced the pentathlon.The ‘Pentathlon’ consisted of jumping, discus-throwing, spear-throwing, running, and wrestling.
