Question 5. Who were the Χρηστοί among the Arcadians and Lacedaemonians?Solution. When the Lacedaemonians were agreed with the Tegeats, they made a league with them, and set up a common pillar on the river Alpheus, upon which this is written, among other things, Drive out the Messenians from your borders, and make none of them χρηστοί, good. Aristotle interpreting this saith, that none of the Tegeats ought to be slain that endeavored to bring aid to the Lacedaemonians.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
