and after that, since he was guarded still by warders, he broke through the wall and so ran away to Tegea, travelling during the nights and in the daytime entering a wood and resting there; so that, though the Lacedaemonians searched for him in full force, he arrived at Tegea on the third night; and the Lacedaemonians were possessed by great wonder both at his courage, when they saw the piece of the foot that was cut off lying there, and also because they were not able to find him. So he at that time having thus escaped them took refuge at Tegea, which then was not friendly with the Lacedaemonians; and when he was healed and had procured for himself a wooden foot, he became an open enemy of the Lacedaemonians. However in the end the enmity into which he had fallen with the Lacedaemonians was not to his advantage; for he was caught by them while practising divination in Zakynthos, and was put to death.
