Original Text :	καὶ πάθος τοῦτο μέγα διὰ πολλοῦ χρόνου συνέπεσεν αὐτοῖς πολλοὺς γὰρ ἄνδρας ἀγαθοὺς ἀπέβαλον κρατηθέντας ὑπό τε πελταστῶν ὁπλίτας καὶ μισθοφόρων Λακεδαιμονίους.
Translation :	This was the greatest disaster that had happened to the Spartans in a long time; for they lost many brave men, and those men were overwhelmed by targeteers and mercenaries, though they were men-at-arms and Lacedaemonians.

Remark :	long-term consequence: Agesilaus II starts a campaign to help the Spartan infantry division (Plut. Ages. 22.3). "But when he learned that it was all over with them, he came back again to the Heraeum (Plut. Ages. 22.3)".
