Passage 8.51.2
Λακεδαιμόνιοι δὲ τούτων τε ἕνεκα καὶ ὧν ἐς ἀμφοτέρους τοὺς τυράννους ἐτόλμησεν, ἐδίδοσαν οἶκον αὐτῷ τὸν Νάβιδος ἐς πλέον ἢ τάλαντα ἑκατόν· ὁ δὲ ὑπερεφρόνησέ τε τῶν χρημάτων καὶ ἐκέλευε τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίους θεραπεύειν δόσεσιν ἀνθʼ αὑτοῦ τοὺς ἐν τῷ συλλόγῳ τῶν Ἀχαιῶν πιθανοὺς τῷ πλήθει, ταῦτα δὲ ἐς Τιμόλαον αὐτῷ λέγουσιν ὑποσημαίνεσθαι. ἀπεδείχθη δὲ καὶ αὖθις Ἀχαιῶν στρατηγῆσαι.
The Lacedaemonians, both on account of these deeds and because of the boldness he had shown against both tyrants, offered him the house of Nabis, valued at more than a hundred talents. But he scorned the money and advised the Lacedaemonians instead of him to secure by gifts the men who possessed persuasive influence with the multitude within the council of the Achaeans. It is said that by these words he implied especially Timolaus. Again afterwards he was appointed general of the Achaeans.
