§8.33.1κἀκεῖνος λαβὼν τάς τε τῶν Κορινθίων πέντε καὶ ἕκτην Μεγαρίδα καὶ μίαν Ἑρμιονίδα καὶ ἃς αὐτὸς Λακωνικὰς ἔχων ἦλθεν, ἔπλει ἐπὶ τῆς Μιλήτου πρὸς τὴν ναυαρχίαν, πολλὰ ἀπειλήσας τοῖς Χίοις ἦ μὴν μὴ ἐπιβοηθήσειν, ἤν τι δέωνται. §8.33.2καὶ προσβαλὼν Κωρύκῳ τῆς Ἐρυθραίας ἐνηυλίσατο.
And he, taking the five Corinthian ships, a sixth from Megara, one from Hermione, and those Laconian ships which he himself had brought, sailed for Miletus to assume his naval command, after having threatened the Chians with many oaths that he would certainly not help them if they should need any. And touching at Corycus in the territory of Erythrae, he spent the night there.
οἱ δ’ ἀπὸ τῆς Σάμου Ἀθηναῖοι ἐπὶ τὴν Χίον πλέοντες τῇ στρατιᾷ καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ ἐπὶ θάτερα λόφου διείργοντο καὶ καθωρμίσαντο καὶ ἐλελήθεσαν ἀλλήλους. §8.33.3ἐλθούσης δὲ παρὰ Πεδαρίτου ὑπὸ νύκτα ἐπιστολῆς ὡς Ἐρυθραίων ἄνδρες αἰχμάλωτοι ἐκ Σάμου ἐπὶ προδοσίᾳ ἐς Ἐρυθρὰς ἥκουσιν ἀφειμένοι, ἀνάγεται ὁ Ἀστύοχος εὐθὺς ἐς τὰς Ἐρυθρὰς πάλιν, καὶ παρὰ τοσοῦτον ἐγένετο αὐτῷ μὴ περιπεσεῖν τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις. §8.33.4διαπλεύσας δὲ καὶ ὁ Πεδάριτος πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἀναζητήσαντες τὰ περὶ τῶν δοκούντων προδιδόναι, ὡς ηὗρον ἅπαν ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐκ τῆς Σάμου προφασισθέν, ἀπολύσαντες τῆς αἰτίας ἀπέπλευσαν ὁ μὲν ἐς τὴν Χίον, ὁ δὲ ἐς τὴν Μίλητον ἐκομίσθη, ὥσπερ διενοεῖτο.
Meanwhile, the Athenians sailing with their force from Samos to Chios also anchored on the other side of the same hill, being separated by it, and they remained unaware of each other. But when a letter came from Pedaritus in the night, saying that certain Erythraean prisoners had arrived at Erythrae from Samos, released for the purpose of betrayal, Astyochus immediately put to sea again for Erythrae; and it was by a very narrow margin that he avoided falling in with the Athenians. Pedaritus also having sailed over to him, they investigated the matter of those who were suspected of betraying the city; and when they found that the whole affair had been feigned as a pretext for the escape of the men from Samos, they acquitted them of the charge and sailed away, the one returning to Chios, and the other making his way to Miletus, as he had intended.
