Sitalces, the son of Teres, in Thrace, wanting, if possible, to induce him to abandon his alliance with Athens and send an army to relieve Potidaea, which was still being besieged by the Athenian forces.
These two suggested to Sitalces' son Sadocus, who had just been made an Athenian citizen, that he should hand the men over to them, and not allow them to cross over to the King of Persia and try to injure the city which Sadocus had chosen for his own.
Sadocus agreed, and as they were on their way through Thrace to the ship on which they were going to cross the Hellespont, he had them arrested by some troops which he had sent with Learchus and Ameiniades with instructions to hand over the men to the two Athenians.

The Athenians sailed round Peloponnese under Tolmides, son of Tolmaeus, burnt the arsenal of Lacedaemon, took Chalcis, a town of the Corinthians, and in a descent upon Sicyon defeated the Sicyonians in battle.
They had hitherto considered him their enemy; but he had great influence with Sitalces, and they wished this prince to become their ally.
Coming to Athens, Nymphodorus concluded the alliance with Sitalces and made his son Sadocus an Athenian citizen, and promised to finish the war in Thrace by persuading Sitalces to send the Athenians a force of Thracian horse and targeteers.

 Alexander the Great: administrative measures
There arrived also the commanders who had been left behind with Parmenion in charge of the army in Media, Oleander, Sitalces and Heracon, bringing with them the largest part of this army.
Both the natives and the army itself made many accusations against Oleander and Sitalces, charging them with plundering temples, rifling ancient tombs, and other unjust and arrogant actions towards their subjects.
When this was reported, Alexander put these two to death, to inspire fear in all the other satraps, hyparchs or nomarchs who were left, that they would suffer the same fate as these if guilty of misconduct.

And he, having learned what was being done against him and the cause on account of which it was being performed, fled down to Thrace and, when Octamasades had learned that by inquiry, he advanced with an army against Thrace.

Being made prisoners at Bisanthe, upon the Hellespont, they were conveyed to Attica, and there put to death by the Athenians, at the same time as Aristeas, the son of Adeimantus, the Corinthian.
