395 SECOND TREATY BETWEEN PERSIA AND SPARTA. 3J5 sumed ; the Milesians were zealous ill the confederate cause ; while the pay from Tissaphernes continued to be supplied with tolerable regularity, though at the reduced rate mentioned a little above. 1 Though the Peloponnesians had yet no ground of complaint such as they soon came to have against the satrap for irregu- larity of payment, still, the powerful fleet now at Miletus inspired the commanders with a new tone of confidence, so that they became ashamed of the stipulations of that treaty to which Chal- kideus and Alkibiades, when first landing at Miletus with their scanty armament, had submitted. Accordingly Astyochus, shortly after his arrival at Miletus, and even before tLe departure of Theramenes, whose functions had expired when he had handed over the fleet, insisted on a fresh treaty with Tissaphernes, which was agreed on, to the following effect : " Convention and alliance is concluded, on the following condi- tions, between the Lacedaemonians, with their allies, and king Darius, his sons, and Tissaphernes. The Lacedaemonians and their allies shall not attack or injure any territory or any city which belongs to Darius, or has belonged to his father or ances- tors ; nor shall they raise any tribute from any of the said cities. Neither Darius nor any of his subjects shall attack or injure the Lacedaemonians or their allies. Should the Lacedaemonians or their allies have any occasion for the king, or should the king have any occasion for the Lacedaemonians or their allies, let each meet, as much as may be, the wishes expressed by the other. Both will carry on jointly the war against Athens and her allies : neither party shall bring the war to a close, without mutual con- Sent. The king shall pay and keep any army which he may have sent for, and which may be employed in his territory. If any of the cities parties to this convention shall attack the king's territory, the rest engage to hinder them, and to defend the king with their best power. And if any one within the king's terri- tory, or within the territory subject to him, 2 shall attack the ' Thucyd. viii, 35, 36.
