At some time during the first few years, Demodoros must have let the word spread about Peter's account books, that he kept with such outlandish notation and with such accuracy. In his fifth year, Peter opened a small school of his own, in a room of Polos's house, and taught basic arithmetic with Arabic notation (but it was not Arabic yet, it was still Indian). And he prospered, while all around him alliances were made and broken, Leagues constructed and destroyed, while Athens fought Sparta and Sparta fought Athens and the other city-states turned again and again the coats they had cut to fit their cloth.
