Context i història
Al catàleg hi ha DUES presentacions de les Vides, aquesta en quatre volums i una altra en un de sol: és el mateix text, no obres distintes ni complementàries. La partió és de l'editor. Plutarc va escriure parelles independents —un grec i un romà, amb una comparació al final—, i per això la referència que serveix a tot arreu és el nom del personatge i el capítol.
Context editorial, no una font citable: a diferència dels passatges de l'obra, aquestes dades no es poden contrastar amb el corpus.

The whole assembly, with shouts and applause, rose at the sight, and received them as their benefactors and saviours. XIII. After this, Pelopidas, who was chosen Bœotarch,[8] with Mellon and Charon as colleagues, at once blockaded the citadel, and made assaults upon it on all sides, being eager to drive out the Lacedæmonians and recover the Kadmeia before an army should come upon them from Sparta. And so little time had he to spare, that the garrison, when going home after their capitulation, met at Megara Kleombrotus, marching with a great force against Thebes. Of the three men who had been governors of Thebes, the Spartans condemned two, Herippidas and Arkissus, to death, and the third, Lysanorides, was heavily fined and banished. This adventure was called by the Greeks the "sister" of that of Thrasybulus, as it resembled it in the bravery and personal risk of its chief actors, and was, like the other, favoured by fortune.…
