Note 432 — Chapter LXXVIII · BATTLE OF LEUKTRA AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.
Reading edition
Diodor. xvi, 23-29; Justin, viii, 1.
We may fairly suppose that both of them borrow from Theopompus, who treated at large of the memorable Sacred War against the Phokians, which began in 355 B.C., and in which the conduct of Sparta was partly determined by this previous sentence of the Amphiktyons. See Theopompi Fragm. 182-184, ed. Didot.
