1 363/2 B.C.
2 The battle of Mantineia, described under this archonship, occurred in 362 just as the Mantineians were gathering in the harvest (Xen. Hell. 7.5.14), which would normally take place from the middle of June on (Fougères, Mantinée et l'Arcadie orientale, 56, 460).
3 For the use of the treasure see Cary, Cambridge Ancient History, 6.98, and for the gold coins issued in the name of Pisa see op. cit., Volume of Plates, ii. 6. d.
4 Diodorus completely reverses the role of Mantineia in the matter of the use of the treasures of Olympia. Mantineia, according to Xen. Hell. 7.4.33, protested against this and headed the party eager to make peace with Elis. The quarrel over the appropriation of sacred money brought to light the fundamental split in Arcadian politics.
5 See Xen. Hell. 7.4.34, 35.
6 See Xen. Hell. 7.5.3.
7 See Xen. Hell. 7.5.4-17; Polybius 9.8; Plut. Agesilaus 34. Diodorus' account diverges from the other three in that it is Agesilaus who is represented by them as already on the way to Mantineia and forced to return to protect Sparta. Except for the well-known bias of Xenophon for Agesilaus, one could unhesitatingly suspect Diodorus, especially since no Spartan king Agis is known for this date. Cleomenes, brother of Agesipolis and son of Cleombrotus, succeeded the former in 370 and still ruled (see chap. 60.4 and note 2 on p. 119).
