The smart of this accusation, and the reflection that in peace no disaster
could occur, and that when Lacedaemon had recovered her men there would be
nothing for his enemies to take hold of （whereas, while war lasted
the highest station must always bear the scandal of everything that went
wrong）, made him ardently desire a settlement.

Accordingly this winter was employed in conferences; and as spring rapidly approached, the Lacedaemonians sent round orders to
the cities to prepare for a fortified occupation of Attica, and held this as
a sword over the heads of the Athenians to induce them to listen to their
overtures; and at last, after many claims had been urged on either side at the
conferences, a peace was agreed on upon the following basis.
Each party was to restore its conquests, but Athens was to keep Nisaea; her demand for Plataea being met by the Thebans asserting that they had
acquired the place not by force or treachery, but by the voluntary adhesion
upon agreement of its citizens; and the same, according to the Athenian account, being the history of her
acquisition of Nisaea.
This arranged, the Lacedaemonians summoned their allies, and all voting for
peace except the Boeotians, Corinthians, Eleans, and Megarians, who did not
approve of these proceedings, they concluded the treaty and made peace, each
of the contracting parties swearing to the following
articles:—
