While besieging Potidaea, Artabazus also besieged Olynthus on suspicion of revolt, slaughtered the Bottiaeans who occupied it, and handed the city over to the Chalcidians.
ἐνθαῦτα δὴ Ἀρτάβαζος ἐπολιόρκεε τὴν Ποτίδαιαν. ὑποπτεύσας δὲ καὶ τοὺς Ὀλυνθίους ἀπίστασθαι ἀπὸ βασιλέος, καὶ ταύτην ἐπολιόρκεε· εἶχον δὲ αὐτὴν Βοττιαῖοι ἐκ τοῦ Θερμαίου κόλπου ἐξαναστάντες ὑπὸ Μακεδόνων.1 ἐπεὶ δὲ σφέας εἷλε πολιορκέων, κατέσφαξε ἐξαγαγὼν ἐς λίμνην, τὴν δὲ πόλιν παραδιδοῖ Κριτοβούλῳ Τορωναίῳ ἐπιτροπεύειν2 καὶ τῷ Χαλκιδικῷ γένεϊ, καὶ οὕτω Ὄλυνθον Χαλκιδέες ἔσχον.
Thereupon Artabazus besieged Potidaea. Suspecting also that the Olynthians were revolting from the king, he besieged their city as well; this city was held by the Bottiaeans, who had been driven out from the Thermic Gulf by the Macedonians. When he had taken them after a siege, he led them out to a marsh and slaughtered them, and handed the city over to Critobulus of Torone to govern, and to the Chalcidian race; and in this way the Chalcidians obtained Olynthus.
