The Histories
The Scionaean general commanding at Potidaea who conspired with Artabazus to betray the city, exposed but not punished.
Having taken Olynthus, Artabazus dealt immediately with Potidaea, and his zeal was aided by Timoxenus the general of the Scionaeans, who agreed to betray the place to him.
Timoxenus ' plot to betray Potidaea was, however, discovered, for Artabazus in shooting an arrow to the place agreed upon, missed it and hit the shoulder of a man of Potidaea.
The generals read the letter and perceived who was the traitor, but they resolved for Scione 's sake that they would not condemn Timoxenus with a charge of treason, for fear that the people of Scione should hereafter be called traitors.
