Paches subjugates Pyrrha and Eresos, captures the Lacedaemonian Salæthus, and sends him along with the Mytilenaean hostages and the instigators of the revolt to Athens. He then sends home most of his army while staying behind to settle the affairs of Lesbos.
ὁ δὲ Πάχης ἀφικόμενος ἐς τὴν Μυτιλήνην τήν τε Πύρραν καὶ Ἔρεσον παρεστήσατο, καὶ Σάλαιθον λαβὼν ἐν τῇ πόλει τὸν Λακεδαιμόνιον κεκρυμμένον1 ἀποπέμπει ἐς τὰς Ἀθήνας καὶ τοὺς ἐκ τῆς Τενέδου Μυτιληναίων ἄνδρας ἅμα οὓς κατέθετο2 καὶ εἴ τις ἄλλος αὐτῷ αἴτιος ἐδόκει εἶναι τῆς ἀποστάσεως·
Paches, on arriving at Mytilene, brought Pyrrha and Eresos into subjection; and having captured Salæthus, the Lacedaemonian, who was hiding in the city, he sent him off to Athens, and at the same time the Mytilenaean men whom he had deposited in Tenedos, and any other person who seemed to him to have been responsible for the revolt.
ἀποπέμπει δὲ καὶ τῆς στρατιᾶς τὸ πλέον, τοῖς δὲ λοιποῖς3 ὑπομένων καθίστατο τὰ περὶ τὴν Μυτιλήνην καὶ τὴν ἄλλην Λέσβον ᾗ αὐτῷ ἐδόκει.
He also sent back the greater part of his army, but remaining behind with the rest, he settled the affairs of Mytilene and the rest of Lesbos in such manner as seemed best to him.
- 3.35.1κεκρυμμένον
Perfect passive participle, functioning as a predicative adjunct to the participle λαβών, meaning "captured him while he was in hiding."
- 3.35.1οὓς κατέθετο
Third-person singular aorist middle of τίθημι. The middle voice indicates that the subject (Paches) deposited or kept them "for his own purposes" (e.g., as hostages).
- 3.35.2τοῖς δὲ λοιποῖς
Dative of accompaniment, indicating the military force accompanied by the commander ("with the remaining troops"). In military contexts, the preposition σύν is frequently omitted.
