Hellenica
A Lacedaemonian commander stationed at Oreus who captures Theban supplies before prisoners seize the Acropolis.
But while they were buying up the corn, Alcetas, the Lacedaemonian who was keeping guard in Oreus, manned three triremes, taking care that the fact should not be reported.
Now since, as the story ran, there was a boy of Oreus, an extremely fine lad too, who was always in attendance upon him, Alcetas went down from the Acropolis and occupied himself with this boy.
He pointed out to me, further, although I knew it before, that he already had as subjects the Maracians, the Dolopians, and Alcetas, the ruler in Epirus.
Apollodorus Against Timotheus
Ally and supporter of Timotheus who came for his trial and whose visit occasioned borrowed household goods.

In the month Maimacterion in the archonship of Asteius, Alcetas and Jason came to visit Timotheus to be present at his trial and give him their support, and they arrived at his house in Peiraeus in the Hippodameia when it was already evening.
So, after the departure of Alcetas and Jason, Aeschrion, the defendant’s body-servant, brought back the bedding and the cloaks, but he did not return the two bowls, for which he had asked at the time he borrowed the bedding and the mina of silver.
