Kitap 4
162.2
Arcesilaus, son of the lame Battus and Pheretime, would not abide by the ordinances of Demonax, but demanded back the prerogatives of his forefathers, and made himself head of a faction; but he was defeated and banished to +Nisos Samos [26.8,37.75] (island), Samos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Samos, and his mother fled to Salamis [33.9,35.166] (deserted settlement), Famagusta, Cyprus, AsiaSalamis in Cyprus [33,35] (island), AsiaCyprus.
162.3
Now Salamis [33.9,35.166] (deserted settlement), Famagusta, Cyprus, AsiaSalamis at this time was ruled by Evelthon, who dedicated that marvellous censer at Delphi [22.5167,38.4917] (Perseus) Delphi which stands in the treasury of the Corinthians. Pheretime came to him, asking him for an army to bring her and her son back to Shahhat [21.866,32.833] (inhabited place), Al Jabal al Akhdar, Libya, AfricaCyrene;
162.4
Evelthon was willing to give her everything else, only not an army, and when she accepted what he gave her, she said that it was fine, but it would be better to give her an army as she asked.
162.5
This she said whatever the gift, until at last Evelthon sent her a golden spindle and distaff, and wool, and when Pheretime uttered the same words as before, he answered that these, and not armies, were gifts for women.
163.1
Meanwhile Arcesilaus was in +Nisos Samos [26.8,37.75] (island), Samos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Samos, collecting all the men that he could and promising them a new division of land; and while a great army was thus gathering, he made a journey to Delphi [22.5167,38.4917] (Perseus) Delphi, to ask the oracle about his return.
163.2
The priestess gave him this answer: “For the lifetimes of four Battuses and four Arcesilauses, eight generations of men, Loxias grants to your house the kingship of Shahhat [21.866,32.833] (inhabited place), Al Jabal al Akhdar, Libya, AfricaCyrene; more than this he advises you not even to try.
