[207] φῆμιν recurs only in Schol. A Od. illustrates it by a well-known story: “Λακεδαιμονίων βουλευομένων ποῖον χῶρον ἐπιτειχίσουσι τῆς Ἀττικῆς, Ἀλκιβιάδης συνεβούλευσε πέμπειν εἰς Ἀθήνας κατασκόπους, οἵτινες παραγενόμενοι ἤκουσαν αὐτῶν τῶν Ἀθηναίων διαλεγομένων ὅτι τὴν Δεκέλειαν μέλλουσιν ἐπιτειχίζειν οἱ πολέμιοι: καὶ οὕτως Λακεδαιμόνιοι ἐπετείχισαν τὴν Δεκέλειαν”. (The tale is not, however, known to Thuk., vi. 91.)
