Quote:If I went to the wrong paragraph please correct me.

Kind regards.

Sorry: forgot the reference (though it was in a previous post):

Quote:Her. 9.28.2-3
On the right wing were ten thousand Lacedaemonians; five thousand of these, who were Spartans, had a guard of thirty-five thousand light-armed helots, seven appointed for each man. The Spartans chose the Tegeans for their neighbors in the battle, both to do them honor, and for their valor; there were of these fifteen hundred men-at-arms.

...to men dexion keras eichon Lakedaimoniôn murioi: toutôn de tous pentakischilious eontas Spartiêtas ephulasson psiloi tôn heilôtôn pentakischilioi kai trismurioi, peri andra hekaston hepta tetagmenoi. [3] prosecheas de sphisi+ heilonto hestanai+ hoi Spartiêtai tous Tegeêtas kai timês heineka kai aretês: toutôn d' êsan hoplitai chilioi kai pentakosioi...

The others:

Quote:Killed, 9.70.5
Of the Lacedaemonians from Sparta ninety-one all together were killed in battle; of the Tegeans, seventeen and of the Athenians, fifty-two.

Lakedaimoniôn de tôn ek Spartês apethanon hoi pantes en têi sumbolêi heis kai enenêkonta, Tegeêteôn de hekkaideka, Athênaiôn de duo kai pentêkonta.

Quote:Burials, 9.85.5:
The Lacedaemonians made three tombs; there they buried their “irens,”1 among whom were Posidonius, Amompharetus, Philocyon, and Callicrates. In one of the tombs, then, were the “irens,” in the second the rest of the Spartans, and in the third the helots.

Lakedaimonioi men trixas epoiêsanto thêkas: entha men tous irenas ethapsan, tôn kai Poseidônios kai Amompharetos êsan kai Philokuôn te kai Kallikratês. en men dê heni tôn taphôn êsan hoi irenes, en de tôi heterôi hoi alloi Spartiêtai, en de tôi tritôi hoi heilôtes.

Quote:In 9.29.1 The Spartiates and Lakedemonioi here is a way to destinct homioi from perioikoi.

Exactly as I've been pointing out.

Ἐπὶ τοὺς πατέρας, ὦ κακαὶ κεφαλαί, τοὺς μετὰ Φιλίππου καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου τὰ ὅλα κατειργασμένους

Wicked men, you are sinning against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander!
