Ἀποφθέγματα Λακωνικά Plutarch
42.1 This is the answer of Hippocratidas to the governor of Caria who wrote a letter to him because a man from Sparta had been privy to the plot of certain conspirators, and had said nothing about it; and the governor added a line, asking how he should deal with him. Hippocratidas wrote in reply: If you have done him any great favour, put him to death; but if not, expel him from your country, for he is a poltroon so far as any virtue is concerned.
42.2 When a youth with a lover in attendance met him one day, and turned colour, he said, You ought to walk with persons such that when you are seen with them you shall keep the same complexion.

CALLICRATIDAS Upright and straightforward Spartan who commanded the Spartan fleet at the battle of Arginusae in 406 B.C. He was killed in the battle.

43.1 Callicratidas, an admiral, when Lysander’s friends made him a fair offer that he permit them to make away with one of their enemies and receive ten thousand pounds, although he was in sore need of money for rations for his sailors, would not consent. Cleander, who was a member of his council, said, But I would take it, if I were you. And so would I, said Callicratidas, if I were you! Cf. the reply of Alexander, Moralia, 180 C (11).
