οὓς αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς πράξεσι καταστρατηγῶν καὶ καταπολιτευόμενος, ἐν δὲ τοῖς Ὑπομνήμασι λοιδορῶν διετέλει ... Καίτοι πᾶσαν ὁ Ἄρατος ἀφίησι φωνὴν ἀπολογιζόμενος τὴν ἀνάγκην. Cleomenes quum solus absque exercitu in Argos urbem, ubi conventus erat Achaeorum, venire ab Arato juberetur, injuria se affectum putans, ἀνέζευξε διὰ ταχέων, καὶ κήρυκα πόλεμον προεροῦντα τοῖς Ἀχαιοῖς ἔπεμψεν οὐκ εἰς Ἄργος, ἀλλ’ εἰς Αἴγιον, ὥς φησιν Ἄρατος, ὅπως φθάσῃ τὴν παρασκευὴν αὐτῶν.
