It seems good to the assembly of the Lacedaemonians to enter into agreement with the Argives on the following conditions:—That they shall restore their children to the Orchomenians, their men to the Maenalians, and the men deposited at Mantinea to the Lacedaemonians. That they shall evacuate Epidaurus, and demolish their fortification there:

and that if the Athenians do not withdraw from Epidaurus, they shall be declared enemies to the Argives and Lacedaemonians, with the allies of both those states.—

That if the Lacedaemonians have any children in their custody, they shall restore them to all the states.—
