The next day the Athenian general,
Nicostratus, son of Diitrephes, came up from Naupactus with twelve ships and
five hundred Messenian heavy infantry.
He at once endeavored to bring about a settlement, and persuaded the two
parties to agree together to bring to trial ten of the ringleaders, who
presently fled, while the rest were to live in peace, making terms with each
other, and entering into a defensive and offensive alliance with the
Athenians.
[2]
This arranged, he was about to sail away, when the leaders of the commons
induced him to leave them five of his ships to make their adversaries less
disposed to move, while they manned and sent with him an equal number of
their own.
[3]
He had no sooner consented, than they began to enroll their enemies for the
ships; and these fearing that they might be sent off to Athens, seated themselves
as suppliants in the temple of the Dioscuri.
[4]
An attempt on the part of Nicostratus to reassure them and to persuade them
to rise proving unsuccessful, the commons armed upon this pretext, alleging
the refusal of their adversaries to sail with them as a proof of the
hollowness of their intentions, and took their arms out of their houses, and
would have dispatched some whom they fell in with, if Nicostratus had not
prevented it.
[5]
The rest of the party seeing what was going on, seated themselves as
suppliants in the temple of Hera, being not less than four hundred in
number; until the commons, fearing that they might adopt some desperate resolution,
induced them to rise, and conveyed them over to the island in front of the
temple where provisions were sent across to them.
