§8.14.1ὁ δὲ Χαλκιδεὺς καὶ ὁ Ἀλκιβιάδης πλέοντες ὅσοις τε ἐπιτύχοιεν ξυνελάμβανον τοῦ μὴ ἐξάγγελτοι γενέσθαι, καὶ προσβαλόντες πρῶτον Κωρύκῳ τῆς ἠπείρου καὶ ἀφέντες ἐνταῦθα αὐτοὺς αὐτοὶ μὲν προξυγγενόμενοι τῶν ξυμπρασσόντων Χίων τισὶ καὶ κελευόντων καταπλεῖν μὴ προειπόντας ἐς τὴν πόλιν, ἀφικνοῦνται αἰφνίδιοι τοῖς Χίοις. §8.14.2καὶ οἱ μὲν πολλοὶ ἐν θαύματι ἦσαν καὶ ἐκπλήξει· τοῖς δ’ ὀλίγοις παρεσκεύαστο ὥστε βουλήν [τε] τυχεῖν ξυλλεγομένην, καὶ γενομένων λόγων ἀπό τε τοῦ Χαλκιδέως καὶ Ἀλκιβιάδου ὡς ἄλλαι [τε] νῆες πολλαὶ προσπλέουσι καὶ τὰ περὶ τῆς πολιορκίας τῶν ἐν τῷ Σπειραίῳ νεῶν οὐ δηλωσάντων, ἀφίστανται Χῖοι καὶ αὖθις Ἐρυθραῖοι Ἀθηναίων. §8.14.3καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα τρισὶ ναυσὶ πλεύσαντες καὶ Κλαζομενὰς ἀφιστᾶσιν.
Meanwhile, Chalcideus and Alcibiades, as they sailed, seized all whom they met, in order that they themselves might not be betrayed; and putting in first at Corycus on the mainland, they left them there, while they themselves, having first conferred with some of their Chian accomplices who advised them to sail into the city without sending word beforehand, arrived suddenly among the Chians. And while the majority were in astonishment and consternation, for the oligarchical few it had been prearranged so that the council happened to be assembling; and after speeches had been made by Chalcideus and Alcibiades, who told them that many other ships were sailing to join them but did not disclose the facts about the blockade of the ships in Spiraeum, the Chians and next the Erythraeans revolted from the Athenians. After this, sailing with three ships, they also brought about the revolt of Clazomenae.
διαβάντες τε εὐθὺς οἱ Κλαζομένιοι ἐς τὴν ἤπειρον τὴν Πολίχναν ἐτείχιζον, εἴ τι δέοι, σφίσιν αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῆς νησῖδος ἐν ᾗ οἰκοῦσι πρὸς ἀναχώρησιν.
The Clazomenians immediately crossed over to the mainland and fortified Polichna, in order to have it as a place of retreat from the island where they dwelt, if any need should arise.
καὶ οἱ μὲν ἀφεστῶτες ἐν τειχισμῷ τε πάντες ἦσαν καὶ παρασκευῇ πολέμου·
Thus, those who had revolted were all engaged in building fortifications and preparing for war.
