That he should hold possession of no city in the island of Crete; and that such as were then in his possession should be given up to the Romans.

That he should not form any alliance, or wage war, with any of the Cretan states, or with any other.

That he should withdraw all his garrisons from those cities, which he should give up, and which had put themselves, and their country, under the dominion and protection of the Roman people; and should take care that, in future, he should restrain both himself and his subjects from molesting them.

That he should not build any town or fort in his own, or any other territory.
That, to secure the performance of these conditions, he should give five hostages, such as the Roman general should choose, and among them his own son: and should pay, at present, one hundred talents of silver; and fifty talents, annually, for eight years." 36.

These articles were put into writing, and sent into Lacedaemon, the camp having been removed, and brought nearer to the town.
