1 At the first request of the Syracusans for aid the Lacedaemonians did no more than send their general Gylippus (chap. 7), not wishing to break the peace with Athens. But early in 413 they declared war on Athens, seized and fortified Deceleia in Attica, and began sending troops on merchant ships to Sicily.
2 Plut. Nic. 28.2 and Thuc. 7.86.2 state that Gylippus proposed that the lives of the generals be spared, since he wished to take them back with him to Sparta.
