Anabasis
A hoplite volunteer chosen for the expedition to seize the height.
Volunteers came forward, from the hoplites Aristonymus of Methydrium and Agasias of Stymphalus, while in rivalry with them Callimachus of Parrhasia said that he was ready to make the expedition and take with him volunteers from the entire army;
At that, Aristonymus of Methydrium, commanding hoplites, came forward, and Aristeas the Chian with light troops, and Nicomachus the Oetaean with light troops;
But Agasias of Stymphalus and Aristonymus of Methydrium, who were likewise captains of the rearguard, and others also, took places outside the cover of the trees, for not more than the one company could stand among them with safety.
History of the Peloponnesian War
Athenian commissioner sent to announce the armistice to the allies in the Thraceward region.
But in the mean time there came to him in a trireme the commissioners, who were carrying round intelligence of the armistice, Aristonymus on the side of the Athenian s, and Athenians on that of the Lacedaemonians.
So when Aristonymus reported their case at Athens, the people were immediately prepared to send an expedition against Scione.
but finding, on a calculation of the days, that the Scionaeans had revolted after the date of the convention, he said that they would not be included in it.
