Sorry, I lost track of this thread. The best source for Thespiae's history (though it focusses primarily on the Hellenistic period) is probably Roesch's "Thespies et la confédération béotienne" (Paris: de Boccard, 1965). The article by C.J. Tuplin entitled "The fate of Thespiae during the Theban hegemony" in Athenaeum. Studi di letteratura e storia dell’antichità, 64 (1986): 321-341 may also be helpful, though I have not read it.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
