[3] To the Aeginetan refugees the Lacedaemonians gave Thyreae,1 as it is called, to dwell in, because the Athenians had also once given Naupactus as a home for the people whom they had driven out of Messene.2 The Athenians also dispatched Pericles with an army to make war upon the Megarians. He plundered their territory, laid waste their possessions, and returned to Athens with much booty.

1 In northern Laconia near the border of Argolis.

2 Cp. Book 11.84.7.
