Original Text :	αὐτὸς μὲν οὖν ὁ Ἀγησίλαος ἤδη πρὸς τάς στρατείας ἀπειρήκει διὰ τὸ γῆρας, Ἀρχίδαμος δὲ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ, τήν ἐκ Σικελίας ἥκουσαν παρὰ τοῦ τυράννου βοήθειαν ἔχων, ἐνίκησεν Ἀρκάδας τήν λεγομένην ἄδακρυν μάχην οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἔπεσε τῶν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, συχνοὺς δὲ τῶν ἐναντίων ἀνεῖλεν.
Translation :	Agesilaüs himself now declined military service on account of his years, but Archidamus his son, with assistance which came from the tyrant of Sicily, conquered the Arcadians in the so-called ‘tearless battle,’ where not one of his own men fell, and he slew great numbers of the enemy.
