Upon the arrival of Brasidas and his army,
Perdiccas immediately started with them and with his own forces against
Arrhabaeus, son of Bromerus king of the Lyncestian Macedonians, his
neighbour, with whom he had a quarrel and whom he wished to subdue.
[2]
However, when he arrived with his army and Brasidas at the pass leading
into Lyncus, Brasidas told him that before commencing hostilities he wished
to go and try to persuade Arrhabaeus to become the ally of Lacedaemon,
[3]
this latter having already made overtures intimating his willingness to
make Brasidas arbitrator between them, and the Chalcidian envoys
accompanying him having warned him not to remove the apprehensions of
Perdiccas, in order to insure his greater zeal in their cause.
[4]
Besides, the envoys of Perdiccas had talked at Lacedaemon about his
bringing many of the places round him into alliance with them; and thus Brasidas thought he might take a larger view of the question of
Arrhabaeus.
[5]
Perdiccas however retorted that he had not brought him with him to
arbitrate in their quarrel, but to put down the enemies whom he might point
out to him; and that while he, Perdiccas, maintained half his army it was a breach of
faith for Brasidas to parley with Arrhabaeus.
[6]
Nevertheless Brasidas disregarded the wishes of Perdiccas and held the
parley in spite of him, and suffered himself to be persuaded to lead off the
army without invading the country of Arrhabaeus; after which Perdiccas, holding that faith had not been kept with him,
contributed only a third instead of half of the support of the army.
