The spoils are distributed, allowing Demosthenes to return to Athens with restored honor. A hundred-year treaty and alliance are established between the Acarnanians and the Ambraciots, and the Corinthians send a garrison to Ambracia, bringing the conflict to a close.
μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα τρίτον μέρος νείμαντες τῶν σκύλων τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις τὰ ἄλλα κατὰ τὰς πόλεις διείλοντο. καὶ τὰ μὲν τῶν Ἀθηναίων πλέοντα ἑάλω,1 τὰ δὲ νῦν ἀνακείμενα ἐν τοῖς Ἀττικοῖς ἱεροῖς Δημοσθένει ἐξῃρέθησαν τριακόσιαι πανοπλίαι, καὶ ἄγων αὐτὰς κατέπλευσεν· καὶ ἐγένετο ἅμα αὐτῷ μετὰ τὴν ἐκ τῆς Αἰτωλίας ξυμφορὰν ἀπὸ ταύτης τῆς πράξεως ἀδεεστέρα ἡ κάθοδος.
After this, having distributed a third share of the spoils to the Athenians, they divided the rest among their cities. And while the share of the Athenians was captured while sailing home, those now dedicated in the Attic temples, three hundred panoplies, were selected for Demosthenes, and bringing them he sailed home; and at the same time, after the disaster in Aetolia, his return became safer on account of this achievement.
ἀπῆλθον δὲ καὶ οἱ ἐν ταῖς εἴκοσι ναυσὶν Ἀθηναῖοι ἐς Ναύπακτον. Ἀκαρνᾶνες δὲ καὶ Ἀμφίλοχοι ἀπελθόντων Ἀθηναίων καὶ Δημοσθένους τοῖς ὡς Σαλύνθιον2 καὶ Ἀγραίους καταφυγοῦσιν Ἀμπρακιώταις καὶ Πελοποννησίοις ἀναχώρησιν ἐσπείσαντο ἐξ Οἰνιαδῶν, οἷπερ καὶ μετανέστησαν παρὰ Σαλυνθίου.
The Athenians in the twenty ships also departed to Naupactus. And the Acarnanians and Amphilochians, after the Athenians and Demosthenes had departed, made a treaty for the safe retreat of those Ambraciots and Peloponnesians who had fled to Salynthius and the Agraeans, allowing them to withdraw from Oeniadae, whither they had also removed from Salynthius’ territory.
καὶ ἐς τὸν ἔπειτα χρόνον σπονδὰς καὶ ξυμμαχίαν ἐποιήσαντο ἑκατὸν ἔτη Ἀκαρνᾶνες καὶ Ἀμφίλοχοι πρὸς Ἀμπρακιώτας ἐπὶ τοῖσδε, ὥστε μήτε Ἀμπρακιώτας μετὰ Ἀκαρνάνων στρατεύειν ἐπὶ Πελοποννησίους μήτε Ἀκαρνᾶνας μετὰ Ἀμπρακιωτῶν ἐπ’ Ἀθηναίους, βοηθεῖν δὲ τῇ ἀλλήλων,3 καὶ ἀποδοῦναι Ἀμπρακιώτας ὁπόσα ἢ χωρία ἢ ὁμήρους Ἀμφιλόχων ἔχουσι, καὶ ἐπὶ Ἀνακτόριον μὴ βοηθεῖν πολέμιον ὂν Ἀκαρνᾶσιν.
And for the future, the Acarnanians and Amphilochians made a treaty and alliance for a hundred years with the Ambraciots on the following terms: that neither should the Ambraciots campaign with the Acarnanians against the Peloponnesians, nor the Acarnanians with the Ambraciots against the Athenians; that they should aid each other’s territory; that the Ambraciots should restore whatever places or hostages of the Amphilochians they held; and that they should not send aid to Anactorium, which was hostile to the Acarnanians.
ταῦτα ξυνθέμενοι διέλυσαν τὸν πόλεμον. μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα Κορίνθιοι φυλακὴν ἑαυτῶν ἐς τὴν Ἀμπρακίαν ἀπέστειλαν ἐς τριακοσίους ὁπλίτας καὶ Ξενοκλείδαν τὸν Εὐθυκλέους ἄρχοντα· οἳ κομιζόμενοι χαλεπῶς διὰ τῆς ἠπείρου ἀφίκοντο. τὰ μὲν κατ’ Ἀμπρακίαν οὕτως ἐγένετο.
Having agreed on these terms, they brought the war to an end. After this, the Corinthians sent a garrison of their own to Ambracia, about three hundred hoplites, with Xenocleides the son of Euthycles as commander; who, making their way with difficulty through the mainland, arrived there. Such were the events concerning Ambracia.
- 3.114.1τὰ μὲν τῶν Ἀθηναίων πλέοντα ἑάλω
τὰ is the neuter plural nominative referring back to τῶν σκύλων (the spoils), serving as the subject of the third-person singular verb ἑάλω (second aorist of ἁλίσκομαι, passive in meaning 'were captured'), in accordance with the rule that neuter plural subjects take singular verbs. The participle πλέοντα is circumstantial, expressing time ('while sailing').
- 3.114.2τοῖς ὡς Σαλύνθιον
The preposition ὡς is used here with an accusative noun (Salynthius, a person) to express motion toward ('to the presence of'). This usage of ὡς as a preposition is restricted to cases where the object is a person, instead of the usual πρός or ἐπί.
- 3.114.3βοηθεῖν δὲ τῇ ἀλλήλων
The dative article τῇ is feminine singular, implying the omission of the noun γῇ (land) or χώρᾳ (territory). Thus, the phrase means 'to aid each other's territory'. The verb βοηθεῖν regularly governs the dative case.
