Since however Cleomenes had died without male child, and Dorieos was then no longer alive, but he also had brought his life to an end in Sicily, thus the kingdom came to Leonidas, both because was of elder birth than Cleombrotos (for Cleombrotos was the youngest of the sons of Anaxandrides) and also because he had in marriage the daughter of Cleomenes.
Baina Kleomenes gizonezko oinordekorik gabe hil zen eta Dorieo ere zendua zen jada-honek Sizilian aurkitu zuen heriotza-, beraz, tronua Leonidasi egokitu zitzaion, Kleombroto (Anaxandridesen seme gazteena) baino zaharragoa zelako eta, gainera, Kleomenesen alabarekin ezkonduta zegoelako.
