ABSTRACT
The Argives themselves built fortifications in the mountains that overlook Phleiasian territory as a base for their own military activity, and this was the principal event concerning Argos during the troubled 360s, of which we have record. It is not certain when the Argives became the friends and allies of Philip. Presumably there was also hope that it might do away with acts of piracy, for joint action against the pirates was envisaged in the treaty. The remainder of Kynouria had long been claimed by Argos, as part of the erstwhile 'restored lot of Temenos' taken from her by Sparta. However, another small town, Tyros, which is to the north of Zarax, is mentioned in another inscription belonging to the early part of the third century which records the sacrifice of fifty bulls to Apollo at Delphi and there it is described as a village of Lakonia. Thus it appears that Philip did not give Kynouria to Argos after 338.
