The following is a
translation of the passage, "For Kallikrates died out of the
battle, he came to the army the most beautiful man of the
Greeks of that day--not only of the Lacedaemonians
themselves, but of the other Greeks also. He when Pausanias
was sacrificing was wounded in the side by an arrow; and
then they fought, but on being carried off he regretted his
death, and said to Arimnestus, a Plataean, that he did not
grieve at dying for Greece, but at not having struck a blow,
or, although he desired so to do, performed any deed worthy
of himself." This Kallikrates, who appears to have been as
brave as he was beautiful, is subsequently mentioned by
Herodotus as having been buried among the {~GREEK SMALL
LETTER IOTA WITH PSILI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{~GREEK
SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH OXIA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER
NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL
SIGMA~} (young commanders), apart from the other Spartans
and the Helots.
