While Artabazus's forces retreated, the pro-Persian Thebans fought fiercely against the Athenians, suffering heavy casualties, including three hundred of their best men. Upon their defeat, they fled to Thebes by a route different from that taken by the fleeing Persians and other allies.
καὶ δὴ οὗτοι μὲν ταύτῃ ἐτράποντο· τῶν δὲ ἄλλων Ἑλλήνων τῶν μετὰ βασιλέος ἐθελοκακεόντων1 Βοιωτοὶ Ἀθηναίοισι ἐμαχέσαντο χρόνον ἐπὶ συχνόν. οἱ γὰρ μηδίζοντες τῶν Θηβαίων, οὗτοι εἶχον προθυμίην οὐκ ὀλίγην μαχόμενοί τε καὶ οὐκ ἐθελοκακέοντες, οὕτω ὥστε τριηκόσιοι αὐτῶν οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ ἄριστοι ἐνθαῦτα ἔπεσον ὑπὸ Ἀθηναίων. ὡς δὲ ἐτράποντο καὶ οὗτοι, ἔφευγον2 ἐς τὰς Θήβας, οὐ τῇ περ3 οἱ Πέρσαι καὶ τῶν ἄλλων συμμάχων ὁ πᾶς ὅμιλος, οὔτε διαμαχεσάμενος οὐδενὶ οὔτε τι ἀποδεξάμενος,4 ἔφευγον.
And indeed these turned in this direction. But while the other Greeks on the King’s side were deliberately slack, the Boeotians fought against the Athenians for a long time. For those of the Thebans who sided with the Persians showed no small zeal, fighting and not shirking, so that three hundred of their foremost and best men fell there at the hands of the Athenians. When these too were turned, they fled to Thebes, fleeing not by the same way as the Persians and the whole multitude of the other allies, who had fled without having fought through to the end with anyone or accomplished any deed of valor.
- 9.67.1τῶν δὲ ἄλλων Ἑλλήνων τῶν μετὰ βασιλέος ἐθελοκακεόντων
Genitive absolute expressing concession or contrast to the main clause: "while the other Greeks on the King's side were deliberately slack."
- 9.67.1ἔφευγον... ἔφευγον
Repetition of the main verb ἔφευγον. Because the main clause ("they fled to Thebes") is interrupted by a long comparative clause ("not by the same way as..."), the verb is repeated at the end to close the sentence.
- 9.67.1οὐ τῇ περ
The dative feminine singular relative pronoun (or adverb) τῇ implies the ellipsis of the noun ὁδῷ ("way, road"), meaning "by the same way as...".
- 9.67.1οὔτε διαμαχεσάμενος οὐδενὶ οὔτε τι ἀποδεξάμενος
The nominative singular participles διαμαχεσάμενος and ἀποδεξάμενος grammatically agree with the collective noun ὁ πᾶς ὅμιλος ("the whole multitude").
