    The Thirty summoned Socrates and four other citizens to their administrative headquarters and ordered them to seize Leon of Salamis. Socrates refused to participate and went home. The event occurred during the rule of the Thirty in 404–403 BC; the surviving evidence does not provide a more precise date.
