“And having engaged the enemy they got the better of him both by land and sea, and slew Tisamenus, son of Orestes.? Their allies, Pamphylus and Dymas, the sons of Aegimius, also fell in the fight. When they had made themselves masters of Pelo- ponnese, they set up three altars of Paternal Zeus, and sacrificed upon them, and cast lots for the cities. So the first drawing was for Argos, the second for Lacedaemon, and the third for Messene.”
