Oeobazus is captured and sacrificed by the Thracians, while Artaÿctes and his companions, delayed in their flight, are overtaken near Aegospotami, where some are killed and the survivors are taken captive to Sestos.
Οἰόβαζον μέν νυν ἐκφεύγοντα ἐς τὴν Θρηίκην Θρήικες Ἀψίνθιοι λαβόντες ἔθυσαν Πλειστώρῳ ἐπιχωρίῳ θεῷ τρόπῳ τῷ σφετέρῳ, τοὺς δὲ μετʼ ἐκείνου ἄλλῳ τρόπῳ ἐφόνευσαν.
As for Oeobazus, who was escaping into Thrace, the Apsinthian Thracians captured him and sacrificed him to Pleistorus, a god of their country, after their own fashion; but those who were with him they slaughtered in another manner.
οἱ δὲ ἀμφὶ τὸν Ἀρταΰκτην ὕστεροι ὁρμηθέντες φεύγειν,1 καὶ ὡς κατελαμβάνοντο ὀλίγον ἐόντες ὑπὲρ Αἰγὸς ποταμῶν,2 ἀλεξόμενοι χρόνον ἐπὶ συχνὸν οἳ μὲν ἀπέθανον οἳ δὲ ζῶντες ἐλάμφθησαν.3 καὶ συνδήσαντες σφέας οἱ Ἕλληνες ἦγον ἐς Σηστόν, μετʼ αὐτῶν δὲ καὶ Ἀρταΰκτην δεδεμένον αὐτόν τε καὶ τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ.
On the other hand, those with Artaÿctes, having set out later to flee, and when they were being overtaken near a little above Aegospotami, after defending themselves for a long time, some were killed and others taken alive. And the Greeks, having bound them, led them to Sestos, and with them Artaÿctes himself and his son, both in bonds.
