Abstract
Diodoros (16.63.4-5) records, in a digression from his report for 346/5 BC, that certain Eleian exiles employed a large number of mercenaries, transported them to the Peloponnese and made war upon the Eleians. The Eleians, however, supported by 'the Arkadians', defeated the exiles and captured 4,000 mercenaries. While the Arkadians sold their half share, the Eleians executed theirs on account of 'the transgression committed against the oracle'.
