Both the Syracusans and the Athenians set up trophies to commemorate their respective victories in the recent engagements.
μετὰ δὲ τοῦτο Συρακόσιοι μὲν τῆς τε ναυμαχίας τροπαῖον ἔστησαν καὶ τῆς ἄνω τῆς πρὸς τῷ τείχει ἀπολήψεως τῶν ὁπλιτῶν, ὅθεν καὶ τοὺς ἵππους ἔλαβον, Ἀθηναῖοι δὲ ἧς τε οἱ Τυρσηνοὶ τροπῆς ἐποιήσαντο1 τῶν πεζῶν ἐς τὴν λίμνην καὶ ἧς αὐτοὶ τῷ ἄλλῳ στρατοπέδῳ.2
After this, the Syracusans set up a trophy both for the naval battle and for the interception of the hoplites on the higher ground near the wall, from which they also captured the horses; and the Athenians set up trophies both for the rout of the infantry into the marsh which the Tyrrhenians effected, and for that which they themselves effected with the rest of their army.
- 7.54.1ἧς τε οἱ Τυρσηνοὶ τροπῆς ἐποιήσαντο
An example of the attraction of the relative pronoun. The noun τροπήν, which would normally be the cognate accusative object of ἐποιήσαντο (with ποιήσασθαι τροπήν meaning "to effect a rout"), is attracted into the genitive case of the omitted antecedent (τῆς τροπῆς), and incorporated into the relative clause. The subsequent ἧς αὐτοὶ is likewise an elliptical expression for ἧς [τροπῆς] αὐτοὶ [ἐποιήσαντο].
- 7.54.1τῷ ἄλλῳ στρατοπέδῳ
Dative of means or accompaniment, meaning "with the rest of the army" or "by means of the remaining force." This refers to the event in the preceding chapter (7.53.3), where the main Athenian force (the rest of the army), not just the Tyrrhenians, came to the rescue and defeated the Syracusan reinforcements.
