The Greek inhabitants of Italy, when they saw the encroachments of Dionysius advancing
as far as their own lands, formed an alliance among themselves and established a Council. It
was their hope to defend themselves with ease against Dionysius and to resist the neighbouring
Leucani; for these last were also at war with them at this time.

The exiles who held Lechaeum in Corinthian territory,
being admitted into the city1 in the night,
endeavoured to get possession of the walls, but when the troops of Iphicrates came up against
them, they lost three hundred of their number and fled back to the ship station. Some days
later a contingent of the Lacedaemonian army was passing through Corinthian territory, when
Iphicrates and some of the allies in Corinth fell on them and slew the larger number.
[3]
Iphicrates with his peltasts advanced against the territory
of Phlius,2
and joining battle with the men of the city, he slew more than three hundred of them. Then,
when he advanced against Sicyon, the Sicyonians offered battle before their walls but lost
about five hundred men and found refuge within their city.
