As soon as an agreement had been concluded upon these terms,
Attaginus made his escape from the city; his sons, however, were
surrendered in his place; but Pausanias refused to hold them guilty,
since children (he said) could have had part in such an offence. The
rest of those whom the Thebans gave up had expected to obtain a trial,
and in that case their trust was to escape by means of bribery; but
Pausanias, afraid of this, dismissed at once the whole army of
allies, and took the men with him to Corinth, where he slew them
all. Such were the events which happened at Plataea and at Thebes.
