      was one of the three ambassadors who happened to be at Athens when Sphodrias invaded Attica,
      in <date when-custom="-378">B. C. 378</date>. They were apprehended as having been privy to his
      design, but were released on their pointing out the groundlessness of the suspicion, and on
      their assurances that the Spartan government would be found to look with disapproval on the
      attempt of Sphodrias. In <date when-custom="-369">B. C. 369</date>, we find Ocellus again at Athens,
      as one of the ambassadors who were negotiating an alliance between the Athenians and Spartans
      against Thebes. (<bibl n="Xen. Hell. 5.4">Xen. Hell. 5.4</bibl>. §§ 22, &amp;c.,
