§8.105.1προσπεσόντες οὖν οἱ Πελοποννήσιοι κατὰ τὸ μέσον ἐξέωσάν τε ἐς τὸ ξηρὸν τὰς ναῦς τῶν Ἀθηναίων καὶ ἐς τὴν γῆν ἐπεξέβησαν, τῷ ἔργῳ πολὺ περισχόντες.
The Peloponnesians, therefore, falling upon the center, drove the ships of the Athenians ashore and landed upon the beach, having gained a great advantage in the action.
§8.105.2ἀμῦναι δὲ τῷ μέσῳ οὔθ’ οἱ περὶ τὸν Θρασύβουλον ἀπὸ τοῦ δεξιοῦ ὑπὸ πλήθους τῶν ἐπικειμένων νεῶν ἐδύναντο οὔθ’ οἱ περὶ τὸν Θράσυλον ἀπὸ τοῦ εὐωνύμου (ἀφανές τε γὰρ ἦν διὰ τὴν ἄκραν τὸ Κυνὸς σῆμα, καὶ ἅμα οἱ Συρακόσιοι καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι οὐκ ἐλάσσους ἐπιτεταγμένοι εἶργον αὐτούς), πρὶν οἱ Πελοποννήσιοι διὰ τὸ κρατήσαντες ἀδεῶς ἄλλοι ἄλλην ναῦν διώκειν ἤρξαντο μέρει τινὶ σφῶν ἀτακτότεροι γενέσθαι.
But to assist the center was impossible either for Thrasybulus and his men from the right, owing to the multitude of the ships pressing upon them, or for Thrasyllus and his men from the left (for the Cynossema cape hid the view, and at the same time the Syracusans and the others, stationed against them in no inferior numbers, kept them in check), until the Peloponnesians, because they had conquered and were fearlessly pursuing one ship or another, began to fall into some disorder in a part of their line.
§8.105.3γνόντες δὲ οἱ περὶ τὸν Θρασύβουλον τὰς ἐπὶ σφίσι ναῦς ἐπεχούσας παυσάμενοι τῆς ἐπεξαγωγῆς ἤδη τοῦ κέρως καὶ ἐπαναστρέψαντες εὐθὺς ἠμύναντό τε καὶ τρέπουσι, καὶ τὰς κατὰ τὸ νικῆσαν τῶν Πελοποννησίων μέρος ὑπολαβόντες πεπλανημένας ἔκοπτόν τε καὶ ἐς φόβον τὰς πλείους ἀμαχεὶ καθίστασαν.
Thrasybulus and his men, perceiving that the ships directed against them had slackened their advance, ceased at once from further extending their wing, and immediately turning about, fought them and put them to flight; and intercepting the scattered ships of that part of the Peloponnesians which had been victorious, they cut them off and threw most of them into a panic without a struggle.
οἵ τε Συρακόσιοι ἐτύγχανον καὶ αὐτοὶ ἤδη τοῖς περὶ τὸν Θράσυλον ἐνδεδωκότες καὶ μᾶλλον ἐς φυγὴν ὁρμήσαντες, ἐπειδὴ καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους ἑώρων.
The Syracusans also happened to have already given way before Thrasyllus and his men, and when they saw the others also fleeing, they broke into outright flight.
