<head>Admission of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Sparta&groupId=660&placeId=1208">Sparta</a> to the Achaean League</head>Such were the arguments on each side. The Achaeans, after listening to both, decided to admit the town, and afterwards, the inscription for a stone having been drawn up, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Sparta&groupId=660&placeId=1208">Sparta</a> became a member of the Achaean League,
those in the town having agreed to receive such of the old exiles as had not been guilty of any ingratitude to the League.
The Achaeans having ratified this measure sent Bippus of Argus at the head of an embassy to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rome&groupId=935&placeId=1669">Rome</a> to inform the Senate about everything.
The Lacedaemonians also appointed Chaeron as their envoy
and the exiles Cletis and Diactorius to represent their interests in the senate against that Achaean envoys.
