Demosthenes in [the] Philippics and Aristophanes [mention it].[1] Conon[2] set it up first, Iphikrates[3] took it up later, and [so did] Chabrias;[4] using this he[5] massacred the Spartans' division, when Iphikrates was their general and [so was] Kallikles.[6]

Ξενικὸν ἐν Κορίνθῳ: Δημοσθένης Φιλιππικοῖς καὶ Ἀριστοφάνης. συνεστήσατο δ' αὐτὸ πρῶτος Κόνων, παρέλαβε δ' αὐτὸ Ἰφικράτης ὕστερον καὶ Χαβρίας: ᾧ χρησάμενος τὴν Λακεδαιμονίων μοῖραν κατέκοψεν, στρατηγοῦντος αὐτοῖς Ἰφικράτους καὶ Καλλικλέους.

Abbreviated from Harpokration s.v., where historiographical sources are also cited (Androtion FGrH 324 F48; Philochorus FGrH 328 F150).
[1] Demosthenes 4.24; Aristophanes, Plutus [Wealth] 173.
[2] See under alpha 3111 (there is no dedicated Konon entry); OCD p.376.
[3] See iota 770, iota 771, iota 772; OCD p.765
[4] See chi 1 (for what it is worth); OCD pp.314-15.
[5] So the transmitted text; but "they" (= the Athenians) in the equivalent entry in Harpokration is clearly correct.
[6] 'Kallias in' Harpokration (again correctly: see R. Develin, Athenian Officials 684-321 B.C.) (Cambridge 1989) p.213, under the year 39l/390).
