85.2
But when the Aeginetans were about to carry Leutychides away, a man of repute at Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta, Theasides son of Leoprepes, said to them, “Men of +Aegina [23.433,37.75] (inhabited place), Aegina, Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Aegina, what are you planning to do? To have the king of the Spartans given up to you by the citizens and carry him away? If the Spartans have now so judged in their anger, see that they do not bring utter destruction upon your country if you do this.”
85.3
The Aeginetans heard this and refrained from carrying the king away, and made an agreement that Leutychides should go with them to Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens and restore the men to the Aeginetans.

When Leutychides came to Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens and demanded back the hostages, the Athenians were unwilling to give them back and made excuses, saying that two kings had given them the trust and they deemed it wrong to restore it to one without the other.
86A.1
When the Athenians refused to give them back, Leutychides said to them: “Men of Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens, do whichever thing you desire. If you give them back, you do righteously; if you do not give them back, you do the opposite. But I want to tell you the story of what happened at Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta in the matter of a trust.

We Spartans say that three generations ago there was at Sparta [22.416,37.83] (inhabited place), Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Lacedaemon one Glaucus, the son of Epicydes. We say that this man added to his other excellences a reputation for justice above all men who at that time dwelt in Sparta [22.416,37.83] (inhabited place), Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Lacedaemon.
