§19.1τὸ δὲ οὖν ἔδοξε τῷ Ἀντιγόνῳ τὸν Εὐμενῆ κτείνειν, ἐκέλευσεν ἀὐτοῦ τὴν τροφὴν ἀφελεῖν.
At any rate, when Antigonus resolved to kill Eumenes, he ordered his food to be withdrawn.
καὶ δύο μὲν ἡμέρας ἢ τρεῖς ἄσιτος οὕτω προσήγετο πρὸς τὴν τελευτήν.
And so for two or three days, without food, he was brought near to his end.
αἰφνίδιον δὲ ἀναζυγῆς γενομένης εἰσπέμψαντες ἄνθρωπον ἀποσφάττουσιν αὐτόν.
But when there was a sudden breaking of camp, they sent in a man and dispatched him.
τὸ δὲ σῶμα τοῖς φίλοις παραδοὺς ὁ Ἀντίγονος ἐπέτρεψε καῦσαι καὶ τὰ λείψανα συνθέντας εἰς ἀργυρᾶν ὑδρίαν κομίζειν, ἀποδοθησόμενα τῇ γυναικὶ καὶ τοῖς παισίν.
Antigonus, handing over the body to Eumenes' friends, permitted them to burn it and, having gathered the remains into a silver urn, to carry them away, to be restored to his wife and children.
§19.2οὕτω δὲ ἀποθανόντος Εὐμενοῦς οὐκ ἐπʼ ἄλλῳ τινὶ τὴν τιμωρίαν ἐποιήσατο τῶν προδόντων αὐτὸν ἡγεμόνων καὶ στρατιωτῶν τὸ δαιμόνιον, ἀλλʼ αὐτὸς Ἀντίγονος προβαλόμενος ὡς ἀσεβεῖς καὶ θηριώδεις τοὺς ἀργυράσπιδας παρέδωκε Σιβυρτίῳ τῷ διοικοῦντι τὴν Ἀραχωσίαν, πάντα τρόπον ἐκτρῖψαι καὶ καταφθεῖραι κελεύσας, ὅπως μηδεὶς αὐτῶν εἰς Μακεδονίαν ἄπεισι μηδὲ ὄψεται τὴν Ἑλληνικὴν θάλατταν.
Eumenes having died in this manner, the deity did not entrust the punishment of the commanders and soldiers who had betrayed him to anyone else, but Antigonus himself, rejecting the Silver Shields as impious and beast-like, delivered them to Sibyrtius, the governor of Arachosia, ordering him to wear them out and destroy them in every way, so that not one of them should return to Macedonia or behold the Grecian sea.
