§8.42.1ἐπέπλει οὖν ὥσπερ εἶχε πρὸς τὴν Σύμην ὁ Ἀστύοχος πρὶν ἔκπυστος γενέσθαι, εἴ πως περιλάβοι που μετεώρους τὰς ναῦς.
Astyochus, therefore, sailed just as he was for Syme before his approach became known, in the hope that he might somehow surprise the ships out at sea.
καὶ αὐτῷ ὑετός τε καὶ τὰ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ξυννέφελα ὄντα πλάνησιν τῶν νεῶν ἐν τῷ σκότει καὶ ταραχὴν παρέσχεν.
But rain and the cloudy weather coming from the sky caused his ships to lose their way in the dark and fell into confusion.
§8.42.2καὶ ἅμα τῇ ἕῳ διεσπασμένου τοῦ ναυτικοῦ καὶ τοῦ μὲν φανεροῦ ἤδη ὄντος τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις τοῦ εὐωνύμου κέρως, τοῦ δὲ ἄλλου περὶ τὴν νῆσον ἔτι πλανωμένου, ἐπανάγονται κατὰ τάχος ὁ Χαρμῖνος καὶ οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι ἐλάσσοσιν ἢ ταῖς εἴκοσι ναυσί, νομίσαντες ἅσπερ ἐφύλασσον ναῦς τὰς ἀπὸ τῆς Καύνου ταύτας εἶναι.
At daybreak, as their fleet had been scattered, with the left wing already visible to the Athenian ships while the rest of the fleet was still straying about the island, Charminus and the Athenians put out to sea in haste with fewer than their twenty ships, thinking that these were the ships from Caunus for which they were keeping watch.
§8.42.3καὶ προσπεσόντες εὐθὺς κατέδυσάν τε τρεῖς καὶ κατετραυμάτισαν ἄλλας, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ ἐπεκράτουν, μέχρι οὗ ἐπεφάνησαν αὐτοῖς παρὰ δόξαν αἱ πλείους τῶν νεῶν καὶ πανταχόθεν ἀπεκλῄοντο.
Falling upon them immediately, they sank three ships and damaged others, and had the advantage in the action until, contrary to their expectation, the main body of the enemy's ships appeared before them and they were being hemmed in on every side.
§8.42.4ἔπειτα δὲ ἐς φυγὴν καταστάντες ἓξ μὲν ναῦς ἀπολλύασι, ταῖς δὲ λοιπαῖς καταφεύγουσιν ἐς τὴν Τευτλοῦσσαν νῆσον, ἐντεῦθεν δὲ ἐς Ἁλικαρνασσόν.
Thereupon they were forced into flight and lost six ships, but with the remainder they escaped to the island of Teutlussa, and from there to Halicarnassus.
μετὰ δὲ τοῦτο οἱ μὲν Πελοποννήσιοι ἐς Κνίδον κατάραντες καὶ ξυμμιγεισῶν τῶν ἐκ τῆς Καύνου ἑπτὰ καὶ εἴκοσι νεῶν αὐτοῖς ξυμπάσαις πλεύσαντες καὶ τροπαῖον ἐν τῇ Σύμῃ στήσαντες πάλιν ἐς τὴν Κνίδον καθωρμίσαντο·
After this, the Peloponnesians put into Cnidus, and when the twenty-seven ships from Caunus had joined them, they sailed with their whole fleet, erected a trophy on Syme, and then returned and anchored again at Cnidus.
