The aim of this article is to revive the opinion that the Four Hundred sent only two embassies to Sparta. The author suggests that the first embassy is mentioned in Thuc. VIII,71,3, 86,9 and 90,1, that it was sent to Sparta in early July 411, but its members were arrested in Argos while on their way from Sparta to Athens. This chronology is coordinated with the contemporary events on Samos.
