Regnabat apud Lacedaemonios Agis, filius Archidami, qui Tarentinis opem ferens occiderat eodem die quo Philippus Athenienses ad Chaeroneam vicit; is Alexandri virtutis aemulus cives suos stimulabat, ne Graeciam servitute Macedonum diutius premi paterentur; nisi in tempore providerent, idem iugum ad ipsos transiturum.
There was ruling among the Lacedaemonians Agis, son of Archidamus, who, while bearing aid to the Tarentines, was slain on the same day that Philip defeated the Athenians at Chaeronea. Agis, a rival of Alexander in valour, was spurring on his citizens not to allow Greece to be longer oppressed by slavery to the Macedonians; unless they took precaution betimes, the same yoke would pass to them.
