Against these the Hellenes who took up war with the Barbarian made an oath; and the oath was this—that whosoever being Hellenes had given themselves over to the Persian, not being compelled, these, if their own affairs should come to a good conclusion, they would dedicate as an offering 1083 to the god at Delphi.
