Book 7

As for Xenophon, he would not go near them, but it was plain that he was making preparations for his homeward journey; for not yet had sentence of exile been pronounced against him at Athens.The precise date of Xenophon’s banishment is uncertain. It appears to have resulted not only from his participation in the expedition of Cyrus, who had been an ally of the Spartans against Athens (see Xen. Anab. 3.1.5), but from his close association with Spartans thereafter. His friends in the camp, however, came to him and begged him not to depart until he should lead the army away and turn it over to Thibron.

From there they sailed across to Lampsacus, where Xenophon was met by Eucleides, the Phliasian seer, son of the Cleagoras who painted the mural paintings in the Lyceum.The famous gymnasium at Athens. Eucleides congratulated Xenophon upon his safe return, and asked him how much gold he had got.
