After the death of Agis, Agesilaus drove Leotychides from the throne, bringing to the remembrance of the Lacedaemonians the words once spoken by Agis himself about Leotychides. The Arcadians from Heraea also arrived and testified on behalf of Leotychides concerning what they had heard from Agis at the time of his death.
