The Corinthians also went to war with the Athenians on account of some private differences; but the rest of the Peloponnesians kept quiet.

The Melians, too, took the part of the Athenian wall over against the market-place by a night assault; then having slain some of the men and brought in grain and as many other necessaries as they could, they withdrew and kept quiet. After that the Athenians maintained a better watch. So the summer ended.
