Describes the victory of the Athenian alliance at the Battle of the Eurymedon, the subsequent revolt of Thasos, and the disastrous failure of the colonization attempt at the 'Nine Ways' (Amphipolis).
ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἡ ἐπ’ Εὐρυμέδοντι ποταμῷ ἐν Παμφυλίᾳ πεζομαχία καὶ ναυμαχία Ἀθηναίων καὶ τῶν ξυμμάχων πρὸς Μήδους, καὶ ἐνίκων τῇ αὐτῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἀμφότερα Ἀθηναῖοι Κίμωνος τοῦ Μιλτιάδου στρατηγοῦντος, καὶ εἷλον τριήρεις Φοινίκων καὶ διέφθειραν τὰς πάσας ἐς διακοσίας.1
After this, there occurred also the battle on land and at sea by the Eurymedon river in Pamphylia, of the Athenians and their allies against the Medes; and the Athenians won both on the same day, under the command of Cimon son of Miltiades, and they captured and destroyed Phoenician triremes, in all to the number of two hundred.
χρόνῳ δὲ ὕστερον ξυνέβη Θασίους αὐτῶν ἀποστῆναι, διενεχθέντας περὶ τῶν ἐν τῇ ἀντιπέρας Θρᾴκῃ ἐμπορίων καὶ τοῦ μετάλλου ἃ ἐνέμοντο.2 καὶ ναυσὶ μὲν ἐπὶ Θάσον πλεύσαντες οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι ναυμαχίᾳ ἐκράτησαν καὶ ἐς τὴν γῆν ἀπέβησαν, ἐπὶ δὲ Στρυμόνα πέμψαντες μυρίους οἰκήτορας αὑτῶν καὶ τῶν ξυμμάχων ὑπὸ τοὺς αὐτοὺς χρόνους ὡς οἰκιοῦντες τὰς τότε καλουμένας Ἐννέα ὁδούς, νῦν δὲ Ἀμφίπολιν, τῶν μὲν Ἐννέα ὁδῶν αὐτοὶ ἐκράτησαν, ἃς εἶχον Ἠδωνοί, προελθόντες δὲ τῆς Θρᾴκης ἐς μεσόγειαν διεφθάρησαν ἐν Δραβησκῷ τῇ Ἠδωνικῇ ὑπὸ τῶν Θρᾳκῶν ξυμπάντων, οἷς πολέμιον ἦν τὸ χωρίον [αἱ Ἐννέα ὁδοὶ] κτιζόμενον.3
Some time later, it happened that the Thasians revolted from them, having quarrelled over the trading posts in the opposite Thracian territory and the mine which they worked. And the Athenians, having sailed with ships against Thasos, won a naval battle and landed on the island; and having sent ten thousand settlers of their own and of the allies to the Strymon at about the same time, in order to colonize what was then called the Nine Ways, but is now Amphipolis, they did indeed make themselves masters of the Nine Ways, which the Edonians held, but advancing into the interior of Thrace, they were destroyed at Drabescus in Edonia by the united Thracians, to all of whom the settlement of the place [the Nine Ways] was hostile.
- 1.100.1τὰς πάσας ἐς διακοσίας
The phrase τὰς πάσας with the feminine accusative plural article is used adverbially here to mean 'in all' or 'altogether', agreeing in gender and case with τριήρεις (and διακοσίας).
- 1.100.2ἃ ἐνέμοντο
The relative pronoun ἃ (neuter plural) refers back to both antecedents τῶν ἐμπορίων (neuter plural) and τοῦ μετάλλου (neuter singular). When antecedents of different numbers/genders represent inanimate things, the neuter plural is regularly used.
- 1.100.3οἷς πολέμιον ἦν τὸ χωρίον [αἱ Ἐννέα ὁδοὶ] κτιζόμενον
The dative relative pronoun οἷς has τῶν Θρᾳκῶν ξυμπάντων as its antecedent. The participle κτιζόμενον agrees with the subject τὸ χωρίον, meaning 'the colonization of the place' or 'the place being colonized' was hostile to them.
