History of the Peloponnesian War

Of these, the Chians, Lesbians, and Corcyraeans furnished a naval force, the rest of them infantry and money.

Such was the confederacy on each side, and their resources for the war.

The Lacedaemonians, immediately after what had happened at Plataea, sent round orders through the Peloponnese and the rest of their confederacy, for the states to prepare an army and such provisions as it was proper to have for a foreign expedition, with a view to invading Attica.
