§4.79.1τούτῳ τῷ τρόπῳ Βρασίδας Θεσσαλίαν φθάσας διέδραμε πρίν τινα κωλύειν παρασκευάσασθαι, καὶ ἀφίκετο ὡς Περδίκκαν καὶ ἐς τὴν Χαλκιδικήν.
In this manner, Brasidas ran through Thessaly, anticipating any attempts to stop him before anyone could prepare to do so, and arrived at the court of Perdiccas and in Chalcidice.
§4.79.2ἐκ γὰρ τῆς Πελοποννήσου, ὡς τὰ τῶν Ἀθηναίων ηὐτύχει, δείσαντες οἵ τε ἐπὶ Θρᾴκης ἀφεστῶτες Ἀθηναίων καὶ Περδίκκας ἐξήγαγον τὸν στρατόν, οἱ μὲν Χαλκιδῆς νομίζοντες ἐπὶ σφᾶς πρῶτον ὁρμήσειν τοὺς Ἀθηναίους (καὶ ἅμα αἱ πλησιόχωροι πόλεις αὐτῶν αἱ οὐκ ἀφεστηκυῖαι ξυνεπῆγον κρύφα), Περδίκκας δὲ πολέμιος μὲν οὐκ ὢν ἐκ τοῦ φανεροῦ, φοβούμενος δὲ καὶ αὐτὸς τὰ παλαιὰ διάφορα τῶν Ἀθηναίων καὶ μάλιστα βουλόμενος Ἀρραβαῖον τὸν Λυγκηστῶν βασιλέα παραστήσασθαι.
For, as the affairs of the Athenians were prospering, those who had revolted from the Athenians in the direction of Thrace, and Perdiccas, became afraid and brought the army out of the Peloponnese; the Chalcidians thinking that the Athenians would first march against them (and at the same time their neighboring cities which had not revolted were secretly helping to bring them along), and Perdiccas, though not openly an enemy, being himself also afraid of his old differences with the Athenians, and wishing above all to reduce Arrhabaeus, the king of the Lyncestians.
§4.79.3ξυνέβη δὲ αὐτοῖς, ὥστε ῥᾷον ἐκ τῆς Πελοποννήσου στρατὸν ἐξαγαγεῖν, ἡ τῶν Λακεδαιμονίων ἐν τῷ παρόντι κακοπραγία.
And it happened to them, so as to bring the army out from the Peloponnese more easily, that the Lacedaemonians were at present in adversity.
