After the Chians surrender Pactyes, the Persian general Mazares launches a campaign against those who besieged Tabalus, enslaving Priene and plundering the Maeander plain and Magnesia, before suddenly dying of an illness.
Χῖοι μέν νυν Πακτύην ἐξέδοσαν. Μαζάρης δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐστρατεύετο ἐπὶ τοὺς συμπολιορκήσαντας Τάβαλον, καὶ τοῦτο μὲν Πριηνέας ἐξηνδραποδίσατο, τοῦτο δὲ1 Μαιάνδρου πεδίον πᾶν ἐπέδραμε ληίην ποιεύμενος2 τῷ στρατῷ, Μαγνησίην τε ὡσαύτως. μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα αὐτίκα νούσῳ τελευτᾷ.
The Chians, then, surrendered Pactyes. Mazares after this marched against those who had joined in the siege of Tabalus; and on the one hand he enslaved the people of Priene, and on the other hand he overran the whole plain of the Maeander, making it booty for his army, and did the same to Magnesia. Immediately after this, he died of a disease.
- 1.161.1τοῦτο μὲν... τοῦτο δὲ...
The neuter singular accusative τοῦτο is used adverbially with μέν and δέ to form a correlative structure meaning "on the one hand... on the other hand..." or "partly... partly...".
- 1.161.1ληίην ποιεύμενος
The present middle participle ποιεύμενος (Ionic for ποιούμενος) expresses an attendant circumstance or purpose relative to the main verb ἐπέδραμε, meaning "making [the plain] booty for his army." The phrase τῷ στρατῷ is a dative of advantage.
