Passage 3.2.7
Τηλέκλου δὲ ἀποθανόντος Ἀλκαμένης ἔσχεν ὁ Τηλέκλου τὴν ἀρχήν· καὶ Λακεδαιμόνιοι πέμπουσιν ἐς Κρήτην Χαρμίδαν τὸν Εὔθυος, ἄνδρα ἐν Σπάρτῃ τῶν δοκίμων, στάσεις τε καταπαύσοντα τοῖς Κρησὶ καὶ τὰ πολίσματα, ὁπόσα ἦν ἀπωτέρω θαλάσσης καὶ ἄλλως ἀσθενῆ, ταῦτα μὲν τοὺς Κρῆτας πείσοντα ἐκλιπεῖν, τὰ δὲ ἐν ἐπικαίρῳ τοῦ παράπλου συνοικιοῦντα ἀντʼ αὐτῶν. ἀνέστησαν δὲ καὶ Ἕλος ἐπὶ θαλάσσῃ πόλισμα Ἀχαιῶν ἐχόντων καὶ Ἀργείους τοῖς εἵλωσιν ἀμύναντας μάχῃ νικῶσιν.
On the death of Teleclus, Alcamenes, his son, succeeded to the throne. The Lacedaemonians dispatched Charmidas, the son of Euthys, to Crete, a man of good repute in Sparta, to quell the factions among the Cretans and to persuade them to abandon those towns situated away from the sea and otherwise weak, and instead to consolidate settlements in positions advantageously located for seafaring. Moreover, they attacked Helos, a coastal town held by the Achaeans, and defeated in battle the Argives who came to the Helots' aid.
