Passage 7.12.1
Ὠρώπιοι δὲ καὶ ὠφελείας σφίσιν οὐ γενομένης τῆς παρὰ Ἀχαιῶν, ὅμως ὑπὸ Μεναλκίδα τὰ χρήματα ἐξεπράχθησαν· ὁ δὲ ὡς τὸ δωροδόκημα εἶχεν ἐν χειρί, ἐποιεῖτο συμφορὰν εἰ καὶ Καλλικράτει μεταδώσει τῶν λημμάτων. τὰ μὲν δὴ πρῶτα ἀναβολαῖς καὶ ἀπάταις ἐχρῆτο ἐς τὴν δόσιν, μετὰ δὲ οὐ πολὺ ἐτόλμησεν ἀποστερεῖν ἐκ τοῦ εὐθέος.
Although the Oropians had gained no advantage at all from the Achaeans, Menalcidas nonetheless exacted money from them. Once he had the bribe in his possession, he considered it a disaster even to share the profits with Callicrates. At first, indeed, he resorted to delays and tricks regarding the payment, but not long after he openly dared to deprive him of it entirely.
