In an attempt to quickly raise finances for the war, Teos imposed taxes on Egyptians and seized temple property.[13] Egyptians, particularly the priests, resented these measures but supported Nectanebo II. Teos asked Spartan military leader Agesilaus and Athenian general Chabrias to support him.[14] Agesilaus, however, said he was sent to aid Egypt and not to wage war against it.[14] Chabrias returned home with his mercenaries.[14] Teos decided to flee to the Achaemenid court, where he ultimately died of natural causes.
