Aridolis, tyrant of Alabanda, and Penthylus, a general from Paphos, are captured by the Greeks; after being interrogated about Xerxes' army, they are sent bound to the Isthmus of Corinth.
ἐν τουτέων μιῇ Ἀρίδωλις πλέων ἥλω,1 τύραννος Ἀλαβάνδων τῶν ἐν Καρίῃ, ἐν ἑτέρῃ δὲ ὁ Πάφιος στρατηγὸς Πενθύλος ὁ Δημονόου, ὃς ἦγε μὲν δυώδεκα νέας ἐκ Πάφου, ἀποβαλὼν δὲ σφέων τὰς ἕνδεκα τῷ χειμῶνι τῷ γενομένῳ κατὰ Σηπιάδα, μιῇ τῇ περιγενομένῃ καταπλέων ἐπʼ Ἀρτεμίσιον ἥλω. τούτους οἱ Ἕλληνες ἐξιστορήσαντες τὰ ἐβούλοντο πυθέσθαι2 ἀπὸ τῆς Ξέρξεω στρατιῆς, ἀποπέμπουσι δεδεμένους ἐς τὸν Κορινθίων ἰσθμόν.
In one of these ships Aridolis was captured while sailing, the tyrant of Alabanda in Caria; and in another, the Paphian general Penthylus, son of Demonoos, who had led twelve ships from Paphos, but having lost eleven of them in the storm that occurred off Sepias, was captured while sailing down to Artemisium with the single one that survived. The Greeks, having interrogated these men about what they wished to learn from Xerxes’ army, sent them bound to the Isthmus of Corinth.
- 7.195.1πλέων ἥλω
Use of the supplementary participle. Associated with the verb ἁλίσκομαι (to be captured), it expresses 'to be captured while doing something' or 'caught in the act of sailing'.
- 7.195.1τὰ ἐβούλοντο πυθέσθαι
The relative pronoun τὰ contains its antecedent, corresponding to the Attic ἃ ('the things which'). It serves as the direct object of the participle ἐξιστορήσαντες ('having interrogated'), forming a double accusative construction along with τούτους ('them').
