Evagoras

And although the king within three years[*](397-394 B.C.) destroyed the dominion of the Lacedaemonians,[*](An exaggeration: it was the Spartan sea-power only that was destroyed.) who were then at the height of their glory and power, yet after he had waged war against Evagoras for ten years,[*](390-380 (?) B.C.) he left him lord of all that he had possessed before he entered upon the war. But the most amazing thing of all is this: the city which, held by another prince, Evagoras had captured with fifty men, the Great King, with all his vast power, was unable to subdue at all.
