§3.33.1ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς Ἐφέσου ὁ Ἀλκίδας ἔπλει κατὰ τάχος καὶ φυγὴν ἐποιεῖτο· ὤφθη γὰρ ὑπὸ τῆς Σαλαμινίας καὶ Παράλου ἔτι περὶ Κλάρον ὁρμῶν (αἱ δ’ ἀπ’ Ἀθηνῶν ἔτυχον πλέουσαι), καὶ δεδιὼς τὴν δίωξιν ἔπλει διὰ τοῦ πελάγους ὡς γῇ ἑκούσιος οὐ σχήσων ἄλλῃ ἢ Πελοποννήσῳ.
Alcidas sailed in haste from Ephesus and fled; for he had been sighted, while still at anchor near Claros, by the Salaminia and the Paralus (which happened to be sailing from Athens), and fearing pursuit, he held his course through the open sea, intending not to touch at any land of his own free will other than the Peloponnese.
§3.33.2τῷ δὲ Πάχητι καὶ τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις ἦλθε μὲν καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἐρυθραίας ἀγγελία, ἀφικνεῖτο δὲ καὶ πανταχόθεν· ἀτειχίστου γὰρ οὔσης τῆς Ἰωνίας μέγα τὸ δέος ἐγένετο μὴ παραπλέοντες οἱ Πελοποννήσιοι, εἰ καὶ ὣς μὴ διενοοῦντο μένειν, πορθῶσιν ἅμα προσπίπτοντες τὰς πόλεις.
To Paches and the Athenians, messages came both from Erythrae and indeed from all quarters; for since Ionia was unfortified, great was the fear lest the Peloponnesians, coasting along, even if they had no intention of staying, might attack and plunder the cities at the same time.
αὐτάγγελοι δ’ αὐτὸν ἰδοῦσαι ἐν τῇ Κλάρῳ ἥ τε Πάραλος καὶ ἡ Σαλαμινία ἔφρασαν.
And the Paralus and the Salaminia, having themselves seen him at Claros, arrived as messengers and reported it.
§3.33.3ὁ δὲ ὑπὸ σπουδῆς ἐποιεῖτο τὴν δίωξιν· καὶ μέχρι μὲν Πάτμου τῆς νήσου ἐπεδίωξεν, ὡς δ᾽ οὐκέτι ἐν καταλήψει ἐφαίνετο, ἐπανεχώρει.
So he made pursuit with all speed; and he pursued as far as the island of Patmos, but when the enemy was no longer in sight of being overtaken, he turned back.
κέρδος δὲ ἐνόμισεν, ἐπειδὴ οὐ μετεώροις περιέτυχεν, ὅτι οὐδαμοῦ ἐγκαταληφθεῖσαι ἠναγκάσθησαν στρατόπεδόν τε ποιεῖσθαι καὶ φυλακὴν σφίσι καὶ ἐφόρμησιν παρασχεῖν.
He counted it a gain, since he had not fallen in with them on the open sea, that they had not been caught anywhere and forced to make a camp, thereby compelling the Athenians to maintain a watch and blockade against them.
