Original Text :	αὐτὸς δὲ τοῦ θράσους ἐξέπεσεν, ὡς οὐκέτι λαθεῖν ἦν, καί τινα βραχεῖαν ἁρπαγὴν θέμενος αἰσχρῶς ἀνεχώρησε καί ἀδόξως εἰς τὰς Θεσπιάς.
Translation :	Their commander himself lost all his courage, since concealment was no longer possible, and after ravaging the country a little, retired disgracefully and ingloriously to Thespiae.

Remark :	victim: The victims are out of the Thriasian plain. motive: Maybe Sphodrias is also urged and incited into this act of violence by men, who have been sent by Pelopidas and Melo (Plut. Ages. 24.4). long-term consequence: Sphodrias retires disgracefully and ingloriously to Thespiae, because he just did this little act of violence instead of realizing his glorious plans (Plut. Ages. 24.3-5).
