Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

ἑαλώκεσαν δὲ οἱ Θηβαῖοι πρώτην δίκην Μετέλλου δικάζοντος Φωκεῦσιν ἐκτῖσαι ζημίαν, ὅτι ἐσέβαλον σὺν ὅπλοις ἐς γῆν τὴν Φωκίδα, δευτέραν Εὐβοεῦσιν, ἐδῄωσαν γὰρ καὶ Εὐβοέων τὴν χώραν, τρίτην δὲ Ἀμφισσεῦσι, τεμόντες καὶ τὴν Ἀμφισσέων περὶ ἀκμὴν σίτου.

English Translation

The Thebans had incurred penalties, the first of these decided upon by Metellus, requiring them to compensate the Phocians because they had invaded Phocis under arms; a second penalty was owed to the Euboeans, for they had also ravaged the land of Euboea; and a third to the Amphisseans, whose grain they had cut down just as it was ripening.
