Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

Κλεομένει δὲ τῷ Λεωνίδους τά τε ἄλλα ὁποῖα ἐς τόλμαν ἐτόλμησαν ὁμοῦ καὶ ἀνδρείαν ὑπῆρξε καὶ ὡς ἐπαύσαντο ἐξ ἐκείνου Σπαρτιᾶται βασιλευόμενοι, πρότερον ἔτι ἐδήλωσέ μοι τὰ ἐς τὸν Σικυώνιον Ἄρατον· προσεπελάβετο δὲ ὁ λόγος μοι καὶ τρόπον ὅντινα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ Κλεομένης ἐτελεύτησεν.

English Translation

The daring and courage with which Cleomenes son of Leonidas performed his other exploits, and how after him the Spartans ceased to be ruled by kings, I have already previously explained through my account of Aratus the Sicyonian; my narrative then included also the manner of Cleomenes' death in Egypt.
