Among the number of those from whom earth and water were brought were
the Thessalians, Dolopians, Enianians, Perrhaebians, Locrians,
Magnetians, Malians, Achaeans of Phthiotis, Thebans, and
Boeotians generally, except those of Plataea and Thespiae. These
are the nations against whom the Greeks that had taken up arms to
resist the barbarians swore the oath, which ran thus - "From all
those of Greek blood who delivered themselves up to the Persians
without necessity, when their affairs were in good condition, we will
take a tithe of their goods, and give it to the god at Delphi." So
ran the words of the Greek oath.
