§13.1τῶν δὲ πεζῶν ἐπικαταβάντων πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν μέγα μὲν ἔργον ἐφαίνετο τῷ Κίμωνι τὸ βιάζεσθαι τὴν ἀπόβασιν καὶ κεκμηκότας ἀκμῆσι καὶ πολλαπλασίοις ἐπάγειν τοὺς Ἕλληνας, ὅμως δὲ ῥώμῃ καὶ φρονήματι τοῦ κρατεῖν ὁρῶν ἐπηρμένους καὶ προθύμους ὁμόσε χωρεῖν τοῖς βαρβάροις, ἀπεβίβαζε τοὺς ὁπλίτας ἔτι θερμοὺς τῷ κατὰ τὴν ναυμαχίαν ἀγῶνι μετὰ κραυγῆς καὶ δρόμου προσφερομένους.
When the infantry came down to the sea, it seemed a formidable task to Cimon to force the landing and lead the exhausted Greeks against fresh and many times more numerous enemies; nevertheless, seeing them exalted in strength and courage to conquer and eager to close with the barbarians, he landed the hoplites, who, still hot from the struggle of the sea-fight, advanced with shouts and on the run.
§13.2ὑποστάντων δὲ τῶν Περσῶν καὶ δεξαμένων οὐκ ἀγεννῶς κρατερὰ μάχη συνέστη· καὶ τῶν Ἀθηναίων ἄνδρες ἀγαθοὶ καὶ τοῖς ἀξιώμασι πρῶτοι καὶ διαπρεπεῖς ἔπεσον.
The Persians stood their ground and received them bravely, so that a fierce battle ensued; and there fell of the Athenians men who were excellent and first in distinction and renown.
πολλῷ δʼ ἀγῶνι τρεψάμενοι τοὺς βαρβάρους ἔκτεινον, εἶτα ᾕρουν αὐτούς τε καὶ σκηνὰς παντοδαπῶν χρημάτων γεμούσας.
But after a hard struggle they routed the barbarians and slew them, and then captured both them and their tents, which were full of all kinds of wealth.
§13.3Κίμων δʼ ὥσπερ ἀθλητὴς δεινὸς ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ δύο καθῃρηκὼς ἀγωνίσματα, καὶ τὸ μὲν ἐν Σαλαμῖνι πεζομαχίᾳ, τὸ δʼ ἐν Πλαταιαῖς ναυμαχίᾳ παρεληλυθὼς τρόπαιον, ἐπηγωνίσατο ταῖς νίκαις, καὶ τὰς ὀγδοήκοντα Φοινίσσας τριήρεις, αἳ τῆς μάχης ἀπελείφθησαν, Ὕδρῳ προσβεβληκέναι πυθόμενος διὰ τάχους ἔπλευσεν, οὐδὲν εἰδότων βέβαιον οὔπω περὶ τῆς μείζονος δυνάμεως τῶν στρατηγῶν, ἀλλὰ δυσπίστως ἔτι καὶ μετεώρως ἐχόντων·
Cimon, like a powerful athlete who had achieved two victories in a single day, and having surpassed the trophy of the land-battle at Salamis and that of the sea-fight at Plataea, added a further contest to his victories; and hearing that the eighty Phoenician triremes which had been left out of the battle had put in at Hydrus, he sailed in haste, while their commanders knew nothing certain yet about the larger force but were still in doubt and suspense.
§13.4ᾗ καὶ μᾶλλον ἐκπλαγέντες ἀπώλεσαν τὰς ναῦς ἁπάσας, καὶ τῶν ἀνδρῶν οἱ πλεῖστοι συνδιεφθάρησαν.
For this reason, being all the more terrified, they lost all their ships, and most of their men perished with them.
τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον οὕτως ἐταπείνωσε τὴν γνώμην τοῦ βασιλέως, ὥστε συνθέσθαι τὴν περιβόητον εἰρήνην ἐκείνην, ἵππου μὲν δρόμον ἀεὶ τῆς Ἑλληνικῆς ἀπέχειν θαλάσσης, ἔνδον δὲ Κυανέων καὶ Χελιδονίων μακρᾷ νηῒ καὶ χαλκεμβόλῳ μὴ πλέειν.
This achievement so humbled the mind of the King that he agreed to that celebrated peace, to remain always a horse's run away from the Greek sea, and not to sail with any long or bronze-beaked ship inside the Cyanean and Chelidonian islands.
§13.5καίτοι Καλλισθένης οὔ φησι ταῦτα συνθέσθαι τὸν βάρβαρον, ἔργῳ δὲ ποιεῖν διὰ φόβον τῆς ἥττης ἐκείνης, καὶ μακρὰν οὕτως ἀποστῆναι τῆς Ἑλλάδος, ὥστε πεντήκοντα ναυσὶ Περικλέα καὶ τριάκοντα μόναις Ἐφιάλτην ἐπέκεινα πλεῦσαι Χελιδονίων καὶ μηδὲν αὐτοῖς ναυτικὸν ἀπαντῆσαι παρὰ τῶν βαρβάρων.
Yet Callisthenes says that the barbarian did not agree to these terms, but acted so in practice through fear of that defeat, and withdrew so far from Greece that Pericles with fifty ships and Ephialtes with only thirty sailed beyond the Chelidonian islands and no naval force met them from the barbarians.
§13.6ἐν δὲ τοῖς ψηφίσμασιν, ἃ συνήγαγε Κρατερός, ἀντίγραφα συνθηκῶν ὡς γενομένων κατατέτακται.
But in the decrees which Craterus collected, copies of treaties are recorded as having been made.
φασὶ δὲ καὶ βωμὸν εἰρήνης διὰ ταῦτα τοὺς Ἀθηναίους ἱδρύσασθαι, καὶ Καλλίαν τὸν πρεσβεύσαντα τιμῆσι διαφερόντως.
And they say that the Athenians also established an altar of Peace because of these things, and honored Callias, who had served as ambassador, with distinction.
πραθέντων δὲ τῶν αἰχμαλώτων λαφύρων εἴς τε τὰ ἄλλα χρήμασιν ὁ δῆμος ἐρρώσθη, καὶ τῇ ἀκροπόλει τὸ νότιον τεῖχος κατεσκεύασεν ἀπʼ ἐκείνης εὐπορήσας τῆς στρατείας.
When the captive spoils were sold, the people were enriched with money for other purposes, and constructed the southern wall of the Acropolis, having become wealthy from that campaign.
§13.7λέγεται δὲ καὶ τῶν μακρῶν τειχῶν, ἃ σκέλη καλοῦσι, συντελεσθῆναι μὲν ὕστερον τὴν οἰκοδομίαν, τὴν δὲ πρώτην θεμελίωσιν εἰς τόπους ἑλώδεις καὶ διαβρόχους τῶν ἔργων ἐμπεσόντων ἐρεισθῆναι διὰ Κίμωνος ἀσφαλῶς, χάλικι πολλῇ καὶ λίθοις βαρέσι τῶν ἑλῶν πιεσθέντων, ἐκείνου χρήματα πορίζοντος καὶ διδόντος.
It is also said that the construction of the long walls, which they call legs, was completed later, but that the first foundation, the works having fallen into marshy and waterlogged places, was securely supported through Cimon, the marshes being pressed down with much gravel and heavy stones, while he provided and gave the money.
§13.8πρῶτος δὲ ταῖς λεγομέναις ἐλευθερίοις καὶ γλαφυραῖς διατριβαῖς, αἳ μικρὸν ὕστερον ὑπερφυῶς ἠγαπήθησαν, ἐκαλλώπισε τὸ ἄστυ, τὴν μὲν ἀγορὰν πλατάνοις καταφυτεύσας, τὴν δʼ Ἀκαδήμειαν ἐξ ἀνύδρου καὶ αὐχμηρᾶς κατάρρυτον ἀποδείξας ἄλσος ἠσκημένον ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ δρόμοις καθαροῖς καὶ συσκίοις περιπάτοις.
And he was the first to beautify the city with those called liberal and elegant places of resort, which shortly afterward were extraordinarily beloved, by planting the marketplace with plane trees, and by showing the Academy, which had been waterless and arid, as a well-watered grove adorned by him with clean running tracks and shaded walks.
