This decision of the assembly that the treaty had been broken took place in the fourteenth year of the thirty years’ truce which was made 88 after the affair of Euboea. The Spartans voted that the treaty had been broken and that war should be declared not so much because they were influenced by the speeches of their allies as because they were afraid of the further growth of Athenian power, seeing, as they did, that already the greater part of Hellas was under the control of Athens.
