They shall not be allowed to bear arms to the hurt of one another in any way or manner ; neither the Lacedaemonians and their allies against the Athenians and their allies, nor the Athenians and their allies against the Lacedaemonians and their allies ; and they shall determine any controversy which may arise between them by oaths and other legal means in such sort as they shall agree. ' V. The Lacedaemonians and their allies shall restore Amphipolis to the Athenians.

  • VI. The inhabitants of any cities which the Lacedae-

monians deliver over to the Athenians may depart whither- soever they please, and take their property with them. The said cities shall be independent, but shall pay the tribute which was fixed in the time of Aristides. After the conclusion of the treaty the Athenians and their allies shall not be allowed to make war upon them to their hurt, so long as they pay the tribute. The cities are these— Argilus", Stagirus, Acanthus'", Scolus, Ol3'nthus, Spartolus e : these shall be allies neither of the Lacedae- monians nor of the Athenians, but if the Athenians succeed in persuading them, having their consent, they may make them allies.
