Cleomenes, having succeeded in Demaratus's matter, attacked Aegina with Leotychides, seized ten of their most prominent citizens, and deposited them as hostages with the hostile Athenians.
ταῦτα μὲν δὴ ἐγένετο χρόνῳ ὕστερον· τότε δὲ ὡς τῷ Κλεομένεϊ ὡδώθη τὸ ἐς τὸν Δημάρητον πρῆγμα,1 αὐτίκα παραλαβὼν Λευτυχίδεα ἤιε ἐπὶ τοὺς Αἰγινήτας, δεινόν τινά σφι ἔγκοτον διὰ τὸν προπηλακισμὸν ἔχων.
These things indeed happened later in time. But at that time, when the business concerning Demaratus had gone successfully for Cleomenes, he immediately took Leotychides with him and went against the Aeginetans, holding a terrible grudge against them because of the insult.
οὕτω δὴ οὔτε οἱ Αἰγινῆται, ἀμφοτέρων τῶν βασιλέων ἡκόντων ἐπʼ αὐτούς, ἐδικαίευν ἔτι ἀντιβαίνειν, ἐκεῖνοί τε ἐπιλεξάμενοι ἄνδρας δέκα Αἰγινητέων τοὺς πλείστου ἀξίους καὶ πλούτῳ καὶ γένει· ἦγον καὶ ἄλλους καὶ δὴ καὶ2 Κριόν τε τὸν Πολυκρίτου καὶ Κάσαυβον τὸν Ἀριστοκράτεος, οἵ περ εἶχον μέγιστον κράτος· ἀγαγόντες δὲ σφέας ἐς γῆν τὴν Ἀττικὴν παραθήκην3 παρατίθενται ἐς τοὺς ἐχθίστους Αἰγινήτῃσι Ἀθηναίους.
Under these circumstances, since both kings had come against them, the Aeginetans no longer deemed it right to resist, and those kings, having selected ten men of the Aeginetans who were of the highest standing in both wealth and birth, carried them off, including others and in particular Crius son of Polycritus and Casambus son of Aristocrates, who possessed the greatest power. Having brought them to the Attic land, they deposited them as a pledge with the Athenians, who were the bitterest enemies to the Aeginetans.
- 6.73.1ὡδώθη τὸ ἐς τὸν Δημάρητον πρῆγμα
The verb ὡδώθη is the third-person singular aorist indicative passive of ὁδόω (to make a way, guide), used here in the sense of 'to succeed, progress smoothly.' The dative τῷ Κλεομένεϊ functions as a dative of advantage (dativus commodi), meaning 'for Cleomenes.'
- 6.73.2καὶ ἄλλους καὶ δὴ καὶ
The correlative phrase καὶ ... καὶ δὴ καὶ ... means 'both others and in particular...,' serving to emphasize specific individuals within a larger group. Here it singles out Crius and Casambus from among the other leading men who were carried off.
- 6.73.2παραθήκην
The accusative singular of the noun παραθήκη (a deposit, trust), functioning as an appositive or predicative accusative to the pronoun σφέας (them), the object of the main verb παρατίθενται (they deposit), meaning 'as a pledge' or 'as a deposit.'
