Claims Supported by This Source

  1. In 407 BC, Cyrus brought 500 talents, saying that if it was not enough, he would contribute his own money, even if it meant breaking up his throne of silver and gold. The arrangement was 30 mna per ship per month. The envoys argued that if the daily wage were 1 drachma, the Athenian rowers would desert. Lysander replied, asking for one obol to be added (1.5.1–7).
  2. Tithraustes gave Timocrates of Rhodes gold equivalent to 50 silver talents to distribute to the leaders of Thebes, Corinth, and Argos, to induce them to make war on Sparta (3.5.1).
