[2] Later on, when Epaminondas had come to Sparta as an envoy, what time the Lacedaemonians said they were concluding with the Greeks the peace called the Peace of Antalcidas,1 Agesilaus asked him whether they would allow each Boeotian city to swear to the peace separately. He replied: “No, Spartans, not before we see your vassals2 taking the oath city by city.”

Pausanias, Description of Greece

9.13.1

--------------------

The Laecedemonians are concluding peace with the Greeks.....i guess the Laecedemonians were not Greeks...
