The Chronology of the Elean War	1986	14	.pdf	application/pdf	7009	248	59	UNZ, RON K., The Chronology of the Elean War , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 27:1 (1986:Spring) p.29 38 THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE ELEAN WAR Since Dercyllidas arrived in Asia during summer 399 and campaigned there until ca summer 397,19 the synchronism narrows the possibili­ ties considerably: the three-year Elean War probably began in sum­ mer 401, 400, 399, or 398. However, this passage of Diodorus concerns years covered by the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia; the precise details that Diodorus includes­ the names of captured towns, troop strengths, the positions of oppos­ ing forces, the number of casualties, as well as the unrhetorical, even­ handed tone-leave little doubt that the Oxyrhynchus historian is his ultimate source.7 We are thus left with the problem of two good sources that pro­ vide detailed but totally different accounts of a single war.	cache/grbs-5081.pdf	txt/grbs-5081.txt
