Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

ἐγένοντο δὲ αἱ μετασχοῦσαι πόλεις Πελοποννησίων μὲν Ἄργος Ἐπίδαυρος Σικυὼν Τροιζὴν Ἠλεῖοι Φλιάσιοι Μεσσήνη, οἱ δὲ ἔξω τοῦ Κορινθίων ἰσθμοῦ Λοκροὶ Φωκεῖς Θεσσαλοὶ Κάρυστος Ἀκαρνᾶνες ἐς τὸ Αἰτωλικὸν συντελοῦντες· Βοιωτοὶ δὲ Θηβαίων ἠρημωμένην τὴν γῆν τὴν Θηβαΐδα νεμόμενοι δέει μὴ Θήβας αὖθις Ἀθηναῖοί σφισιν ἐποικίζωσιν οὔτε ἐς τὴν συμμαχίαν ἐτάσσοντο καὶ ἐς ὅσον ἧκον δυνάμεως τὰ Μακεδόνων ηὖξον.

English Translation

The cities that participated were, from the Peloponnese, Argos, Epidaurus, Sicyon, Troezen, Elis, Phlius, and Messene. Of those outside the Isthmus of Corinth, there were the Locrians, Phocians, Thessalians, Carystus and the Acarnanians who were joined with the Aetolian league. But the Boeotians, occupying the Theban territory, left deserted by the Thebans and fearful that the Athenians might resettle Thebes against their will, neither joined the alliance nor, as far as their power allowed, ceased augmenting the strength of Macedonia.
