request_v the_o lacedaemonian_n to_o send_v they_o lysander_n to_o command_v their_o fleet_n have_v the_o experience_n of_o his_o conduct_n in_o the_o fight_n at_o notium_n wherein_o he_o overthrow_v the_o athenian_n the_o lacedaemonian_n answer_v they_o that_o by_o their_o law_n none_o may_v be_v twice_o admiral_n thereupon_o they_o give_v aracus_n the_o command_n of_o the_o fleet_n choose_v lysander_n to_o go_v in_o quality_n of_o his_o vice-admiral_n moreover_o the_o admiral_n continue_a but_o a_o year_n in_o their_o office_n for_o we_o find_v in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o this_o history_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o lysander_n year_n be_v elapse_v the_o lacedaemonian_n send_v callicratidas_n to_o succeed_v he_o furthermore_o thucydides_n in_o his_o last_o book_n witness_n that_o mindarus_n succeed_v astyochus_n in_o the_o command_n of_o the_o fleet_n and_o xenophon_n in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o his_o history_n imply_v that_o he_o be_v admiral_n because_o he_o mention_n hegesandridas_n as_o his_o vice-admiral_n therefore_o since_o none_o can_v be_v twice_o admiral_n by_o the_o lacedaemonian_a law_n and_o none_o can_v bear_v that_o office_n long_o than_o a_o year_n and_o be_v thucydides_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o eight_o book_n and_o xenophon_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o history_n affirm_v that_o mindarus_n be_v admiral_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o one_o end_n and_o the_o other_o begin_v in_o the_o same_o year_n in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v two_o opinion_n concern_v the_o duration_n of_o the_o war._n thucydides_n in_o his_o five_o book_n say_v that_o it_o last_v twenty_o seven_o year_n and_o end_v when_o the_o wall_n of_o the_o pireus_n be_v demolish_v but_o xenophon_n say_v twenty_o eight_o and_o

triumph_n so_o that_o there_o be_v the_o difference_n of_o a_o year_n between_o both_o account_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o there_o be_v two_o end_n of_o this_o war_n so_o there_o be_v as_o many_o beginning_n for_o thucydides_n account_v from_o the_o time_n of_o action_n and_o xenophon_n from_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o war_n which_o be_v when_o the_o ambassador_n of_o the_o ally_n assemble_v at_o lacedaemon_n to_o confederate_a against_o the_o athenian_n and_o the_o like_a supputation_n thucydides_n make_v in_o his_o second_o book_n where_o he_o say_v that_o pericles_n die_v two_o year_n and_o a_o half_a after_o the_o war_n begin_v which_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o xenophon_n sense_n and_o not_o in_o his_o own_o have_v thus_o prove_v that_o xenophon_n be_v the_o
