History of the Peloponnesian War

Now there is a monument to him in the Asiatic Magnesia, in the market-place; for he was governor of the country, the king having given him [*]( i. e. the land-tax or rent which was paid by these towns to the king, and which amounted generally to the tenth part of the produce, was given by him to Themistocles to furnish him with these articles of his establishment. In addition to similar instances mentioned in Arnold's note, I may refer to Xenophon, Hellen. III. 1. 6. who informs us that Eurysthenes and Procles, descendants of the Spartan king, Demaratus, continued to possess Pergamus, Teuthrania, and Halisarna, the gift of the king of Persia to their exiled ancestor.) Magnesia, which brought him in fifty talents a year, for bread, Lampsacus for wine, (for it was considered more productive of wine than any other place at that time,) and Myus for provisions [*]( i. e. all additional articles of food, such as meat, fish, or vegetables, which were called by the common name of ὄψον, in opposition to bread and wine, which were considered the main supports of human life.) in general.

But his relations say that his bones were carried, by his own command, and laid in Attica without the knowledge of the Athenians; for it was not lawful to give them burial, as they were the bones of a man banished for treason. Such was the end of Pausanias the Lacedaemonian, and Themistocles the Athenian, who had been the most distinguished of all the Greeks in their day.

On the occasion then of their first embassy the Lacedaemonians gave orders to this effect, and received commands in return about driving out the accursed. But on going subsequently to the Athenians, they commanded them to raise the siege of Potidaea, and leave, Aegina independent; and declared, most especially and distinctly of all, that there would be no war, if they rescinded the decree respecting the Megareans, in which it had been declared that they should not use the ports in the Athenian empire, or the Attic market.
