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

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

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

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
