§5.102.1καὶ Σάρδιες μὲν ἐνεπρήσθησαν, ἐν δὲ αὐτῇσι καὶ ἱρὸν ἐπιχωρίης θεοῦ Κυβήβης· τὸ σκηπτόμενοι οἱ Πέρσαι ὕστερον ἀντενεπίμπρασαν τὰ ἐν Ἕλλησι ἱρά.
And so Sardis was burned, and in it also a temple of Cybebe, a goddess of that country; which the Persians later used as a pretext to burn down the temples in Greece in retaliation.
τότε δὲ οἱ Πέρσαι οἱ ἐντὸς Ἅλυος ποταμοῦ νομοὺς ἔχοντες, προπυνθανόμενοι ταῦτα, συνηλίζοντο καὶ ἐβοήθεον τοῖσι Λυδοῖσι.
At that time, the Persians who held territories within the river Halys, having already heard of these things, gathered together and came to the aid of the Lydians.
§5.102.2καὶ κως ἐν μὲν Σάρδισι οὐκέτι ἐόντας τοὺς Ἴωνας εὑρίσκουσι, ἑπόμενοι δὲ κατὰ στίβον αἱρέουσι αὐτοὺς ἐν Ἐφέσῳ.
And somehow, they found that the Ionians were no longer in Sardis; but following on their tracks, they caught up with them at Ephesus.
καὶ ἀντετάχθησαν μὲν οἱ Ἴωνες, συμβαλόντες δὲ πολλὸν ἑσσώθησαν.
The Ionians drew up their lines to face them, but in the engagement they were heavily defeated.
§5.102.3καὶ πολλοὺς αὐτῶν οἱ Πέρσαι φονεύουσι ἄλλους τε ὀνομαστούς, ἐν δὲ δὴ καὶ Εὐαλκίδην στρατηγέοντα Ἐρετριέων, στεφανηφόρους τε ἀγῶνας ἀναραιρηκότα καὶ ὑπὸ Σιμωνίδεω τοῦ Κηίου πολλὰ αἰνεθέντα·
The Persians slew many of them, including other men of renown, and among them especially Eualcides, the general of the Eretrians, who had won crowns in the games and had been highly praised in song by Simonides of Ceos.
οἳ δὲ αὐτῶν ἀπέφυγον τὴν μάχην, ἐσκεδάσθησαν ἀνὰ τὰς πόλιας.
Those of them who escaped from the battle were scattered among their various cities.
