…maintains a garrison at Thessalian Pharsalus.

Initially, Lysander seems to have been at the back of this northward encroachment (good evidence connects him with Thrace and the Chalcidice).

Because Sparta has always expanded in this direction if given the chance, it had not pulled out of central Greece during Lysander's temporary eclipse after 403 BCE.

From the point of view of Thebes and Corinth, there is a risk of encirclement by Sparta.
