Nabis, der Fürst der Spartaner, hielt eine Belagerung von allen Griechen aus und von einem siegreichen römischen Heere; er vertheidigte sich und seinen Staat dagegen, und dazu war es hinreichend, sich einiger weniger Personen zu versichern.
Nabis, Prince of the Spartans, sustained the attack of all Greece, and of a victorious Roman army, and against them he defended his country and his government; and for the overcoming of this peril it was only necessary for him to make himself secure against a few, but this would not have been sufficient had the people been hostile.
