This plan proved successful. When the envoys appeared before the people, and upon the question being put to them, did not say as they had said in the senate, that they had come with full powers, the Athenians lost all patience, and carried away by Alcibiades, who thundered more loudly than ever against the Lacedaemonians, were ready instantly to introduce the Argives and their companions and to take them into alliance.
Orduan jada atenastarrak ez ziren kontrolatu eta Altzibiadesen proposamenak onartu zituzten, honek lehen baino oihu handiagoak egiten baitzituen lazedemondarren kontra, eta berehala agertu ziren argostarrak eta hauekin zeudenak ekartzeko prest, aliatu egiteko asmoaz.
