The text describes the forces of the various city-states of the Ionian league and Lesbos assembled for the Battle of Lade, detailing their specific battle order from east (right wing) to west (left wing), and the total number of ships.
μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα πεπληρωμένῃσι τῇσι νηυσὶ1 παρῆσαν οἱ Ἴωνες, σὺν δέ σφι καὶ Αἰολέων ὅσοι τὴν Λέσβον νέμονται. ἐτάσσοντο δὲ ὧδε. τὸ μὲν πρὸς τὴν ἠῶ εἶχον κέρας αὐτοὶ Μιλήσιοι, νέας παρεχόμενοι ὀγδώκοντα· εἴχοντο2 δὲ τούτων Πριηνέες δυώδεκα νηυσὶ καὶ Μυήσιοι τρισὶ νηυσί, Μυησίων δὲ Τήιοι εἴχοντο ἑπτακαίδεκα νηυσί, Τηίων δὲ εἴχοντο Χῖοι ἑκατὸν νηυσί·
After this, the Ionians were present with their manned ships, and with them also those of the Aeolians who dwell in Lesbos. And they were arrayed in this manner. The Milesians themselves held the wing towards the east, providing eighty ships; next to them were the Prienians with twelve ships and the Myusians with three ships; next to the Myusians were the Teians with seventeen ships, and next to the Teians were the Chians with a hundred ships.
πρὸς δὲ τούτοισι Ἐρυθραῖοί τε ἐτάσσοντο καὶ Φωκαέες, Ἐρυθραῖοι μὲν ὀκτὼ νέας παρεχόμενοι, Φωκαέες δὲ τρεῖς· Φωκαέων δὲ εἴχοντο Λέσβιοι νηυσὶ ἑβδομήκοντα· τελευταῖοι δὲ ἐτάσσοντο ἔχοντες τὸ πρὸς ἑσπέρην κέρας Σάμιοι ἑξήκοντα νηυσί. πάντων δὲ τούτων ὁ σύμπας ἀριθμὸς ἐγένετο τρεῖς καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ τριηκόσιαι τριήρεες.
Next to these were arrayed both the Erythraeans and the Phocaeans, the Erythraeans providing eight ships and the Phocaeans three; next to the Phocaeans were the Lesbians with seventy ships; and last of all were arrayed, holding the wing towards the west, the Samians with sixty ships. The total number of all these was three hundred and fifty-three triremes.
- 6.8.1πεπληρωμένῃσι τῇσι νηυσὶ
A dative phrase with the perfect passive participle πεπληρωμένος. It functions as a dative of accompaniment (or manner/circumstance), meaning "with their manned (fully equipped) ships" or "having manned their ships."
- 6.8.1εἴχοντο
The middle voice ἔχομαι of the verb ἔχω ("to hold") takes the genitive and means "to cling to" or "to be next to." Here, it indicates "being stationed next to" the force denoted by the genitive, describing the consecutive order of the fleets from east (the Milesians) to west.
