De què tracta
La continuacio de la historia de Tucidides: Xenofont pren el relat de la guerra del Peloponnes exactament on l'altre el va deixar i el porta fins al 362 aC.
Context i història
Comenca amb un «i despres» que enllaça literalment amb la frase interrompuda de Tucidides. Aixo es alhora el seu merit i la seva trampa: convida a llegir-lo com si fos el mateix llibre, i no ho es. Xenofont escriu mes senzill i menys analitic, i sobretot escriu com el que era —un atenès admirador d'Esparta, deixeble de Socrates, mercenari, exiliat de la seva ciutat—, de manera que calla o abrevia coses que no li convenen: la fundacio de la lliga tebana i el paper d'Epaminondas hi surten curts. Es la font principal que tenim per a aquests anys, i s'ha de fer servir sabent-ho. Al corpus hi ha tambe l'«Anabasi», que es on Xenofont es millor escriptor.

sea to attack them, and captured four ships with their crews, and chased the remainder back to Ephesus. The prisoners were sent by Thrasylus to Athens, with one exception. This was an Athenian, Alcibiades, who was a cousin and fellow-exile of Alcibiades. Him Thrasylus released. (3) From Methymna Thrasylus set sail to Sestos to join the main body of the army, after which the united forces crossed to Lampsacus. And now winter was approaching. It was the winter in which the Syracusan prisoners who had been immured in the stone quarries of Piraeus dug through the rock and escaped one night, some to Decelia and others to Megara. At Lampsacus Alcibiades was anxious to marshal the whole military force there collected in one body, but the old troops refused to be incorporated with those of Thrasylus. "They, who had never yet been beaten, with these newcomers who had just suffered a defeat." So they devoted the winter to fortifying Lampsacus. They also made an expedition against Abydos, where Pharnabazus, coming to the rescue of the place, encountered them with numerous cavalry, but was defeated and forced to flee, Alcibiades pursuing hard with his cavalry and one hundred and twenty infantry under the command of Menander, till darkness intervened. After this battle the soldiers came together of their own accord, and freely fraternised with the troops of Thrasylus. This expedition was followed by other incursions during the winter into the interior, where they found plenty to do ravaging the king's territory. (3) Reading {apelusen}. Wolf's conjecture for the MSS. {katelousen} = stoned. See Thirlwall, "Hist. Gr." IV. xxix. 93 note. It was at this period also that the Lacedaemonians allowed their revolted helots from Malea, who had found an asylum at Coryphasium, to depart under a flag of truce.…
