Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

ταῦτα ἀναιροῦνται κλήρῳ Πλαταιεῖς Κορωναῖοι Θεσπιεῖς Ταναγραῖοι Χαιρωνεῖς Ὀρχομένιοι Λεβαδεῖς Θηβαῖοι· διαλλαγῆναι γὰρ καὶ οὗτοι Πλαταιεῦσιν ἠξίωσαν καὶ συλλόγου μετασχεῖν κοινοῦ καὶ ἐς Δαίδαλα θυσίαν ἀποστέλλειν, ὅτε Κάσσανδρος ὁ Ἀντιπάτρου τὰς Θήβας ἀνῴκισε. τῶν δὲ πολισμάτων ὁπόσα ἐστὶν ἐλάσσονος λόγου, συντέλειαν αἱροῦνται.

English Translation

These positions are assigned by lot among the Plataeans, the Coronaians, Thespians, Tanagraeans, Chaeroneans, Orchomenians, Lebadeians and Thebans. The latter also thought it appropriate to reconcile with the Plataeans, participating in their common assembly and sending envoys to the Daedala sacrifices, ever since Cassander, the son of Antipater, refounded Thebes. As for the lesser-known smaller towns, they group together in offering their contributions.
