Brasidas and Perdiccas started on a second joint expedition into Lyncus
against Arrhabaeus; the latter with the forces of his Macedonian subjects, and a corps of heavy
infantry composed of Hellenes domiciled in the country; the former with the Peloponnesians whom he still had with him and the
Chalcidians, Acanthians, and the rest in such force as they were able.
In all there were about three thousand Hellenic heavy infantry, accompanied
by all the Macedonian cavalry with the Chalcidians, near one thousand
strong, besides an immense crowd of barbarians.
[2]
On entering the country of Arrhabaeus, they found the Lyncestians encamped
awaiting them, and themselves took up a position opposite.
[3]
The infantry on either side were upon a hill, with a plain between them,
into which the horse of both armies first galloped down, and engaged a
cavalry action.
After this the Lyncestian heavy infantry advanced from their hill to join
their cavalry and offered battle; upon which Brasidas and Perdiccas also came down to meet them, and engaged
and routed them with heavy loss; the survivors taking refuge upon the heights and there remaining inactive.
[4]
The victors now set up a trophy and waited two or three days for the
Illyrian mercenaries who were to join Perdiccas.
Perdiccas then wished to go on and attack the villages of Arrhabaeus, and
to sit still no longer; but Brasidas, afraid that the Athenians might sail up during his absence,
and of something happening to Mende, and seeing besides that the Illyrians
did not appear, far from seconding this wish was anxious to return.
