4.23
On the following day the Thirty, utterly dejected and with but few adherents left, held their session in the council-chamber; and as for the Three Thousand, wherever their several detachments were stationed, everywhere they began to quarrel with one another. For all those who had done any act of especial violence and were therefore fearful, urged strenuously that they ought not to yield to the men in Piraeus; while those who were confident that they had done no wrong, argued in their own minds and set forth to the others that there was no need of their suffering these evils, and they said that they ought not to obey the Thirty or allow them to ruin the state. In the end they voted to depose the Thirty and choose others. And they chose ten, one from404 B.C. each tribe.

The Thirty thereupon retired to Eleusis; and the403 B.C. Ten, with the aid of the cavalry commanders, took care of the men in the city, who were in a state of great disquiet and distrust of one another. In fact, even the cavalry did guard duty by night, being quartered in the Odeum and keeping with them both their horses and their shieldsi.e. in order to serve both as horsemen and as hoplites. See below and cp. note on iii. 48.; and such was the suspicion that prevailed, that they patrolled along the wallsi.e. outside the walls (see note on Odeum, 9). In their distrust of one another (see above) they sought by this means to prevent desertions to Piraeus. from evening onwards with their shields, and toward dawn with their horses, fearing continually that they might be attacked by parties of men from Piraeus.
