Question

Andocides’s speech about one of these things rues Athenian aid to Amorges’s revolt. Isocrates’s speech about one of these things in 355 BCE lacks Diodorus’s idea that they were guided by “common” Panhellenism. Based on its Ionic inscription, Theopompus wrote that one of these things from the Pentecontaetia (“PEN-tuh-kon-tuh-EH-tee-uh”) was forged circa 375 BCE, when Cephisodotos (-5[1])celebrated another of them with a cult statue for its personifying goddess. Tissaphernes thrice forbid Sparta from making these things without joint Persian support. (-5[1])Cleon (-5[1])rebuffed one of these things at Pylos. Artaxerxes II enforced one of these things called the “king’s” requested (10[1])by (10[2])Antalcidas. (10[1])Pericles (10[1])denied (10[1])that the (10[1])Megarian Decree violated one of (10[1])these things, (10[1])whose 30-year duration (10[3])was cut short (10[2])by (10[1])the Archidamian phase. For 10 points, what type of document was negotiated by Pleistonax (-5[1])and Nicias? ■END■ (10[5])

ANSWER: peace treaties [or peace treaty, peace offers, pax, eirēnē, or irene; accept armistice or truce; accept Peace of Nicias, Peace of Antalcidas, King’s Peace, Peace of Callias, Peace of Epilycus, Common Peace, Koinē Eirēnē, or On the Peace; prompt on treaties, settlements, agreements, accords, documents, pacts, or equivalents of any; reject “surrender” or “alliance” or equivalents of each]
