§6.108.1Ἱππίης μὲν δὴ ταύτῃ τὴν ὄψιν συνεβάλετο ἐξεληλυθέναι.
Hippias indeed inferred that his vision had been fulfilled in this way.
Ἀθηναίοισι δὲ τεταγμένοισι ἐν τεμένεϊ Ἡρακλέος ἐπῆλθον βοηθέοντες Πλαταιέες πανδημεί.
But to the Athenians drawn up in the precinct of Heracles, the Plataeans came to their aid with all their forces.
καὶ γὰρ καὶ ἐδεδώκεσαν σφέας αὐτοὺς τοῖσι Ἀθηναίοισι οἱ Πλαταιέες, καὶ πόνους ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι συχνοὺς ἤδη ἀναραιρέατο· ἔδοσαν δὲ ὧδε.
For indeed, the Plataeans had given themselves up to the Athenians, and the Athenians had already undertaken many struggles on their behalf; and they had given themselves up in this manner.
§6.108.2πιεζεύμενοι ὑπὸ Θηβαίων οἱ Πλαταιέες ἐδίδοσαν πρῶτα παρατυχοῦσι Κλεομένεΐ τε τῷ Ἀναξανδρίδεω καὶ Λακεδαιμονίοισι σφέας αὐτούς.
Being hard pressed by the Thebans, the Plataeans first tried to give themselves up to Cleomenes, the son of Anaxandrides, and to the Lacedaemonians who happened to be present.
οἳ δὲ οὐ δεκόμενοι ἔλεγόν σφι τάδε. ἡμεῖς μὲν ἑκαστέρω τε οἰκέομεν, καὶ ὑμῖν τοιήδε τις γίνοιτʼ ἂν ἐπικουρίη ψυχρή· φθαίητε γὰρ ἂν πολλάκις ἐξανδραποδισθέντες ἤ τινα πυθέσθαι ἡμέων.
But they, not accepting them, spoke to them as follows: "We live too far away, and such help would turn out to be cold comfort for you; for you might often be enslaved before any of us could even hear of it.
§6.108.3συμβουλεύομεν δὲ ὑμῖν δοῦναι ὑμέας αὐτοὺς Ἀθηναίοισι, πλησιοχώροισι τε ἀνδράσι καὶ τιμωρέειν ἐοῦσι οὐ κακοῖσι. ταῦτα συνεβούλευον οἱ Λακεδαιμόνιοι οὐ κατὰ τὴν εὐνοίην οὕτω τῶν Πλαταιέων ὡς βουλόμενοι τοὺς Ἀθηναίους ἔχειν πόνους συνεστεῶτας Βοιωτοῖσι.
But we advise you to give yourselves up to the Athenians, men who are close neighbors and not bad at bringing aid." The Lacedaemonians gave this advice not so much out of goodwill toward the Plataeans, but because they wished the Athenians to be troubled by being embroiled in conflict with the Boeotians.
§6.108.4Λακεδαιμόνιοι μέν νυν Πλαταιεῦσι ταῦτα συνεβούλευον, οἳ δὲ οὐκ ἠπίστησαν, ἀλλʼ Ἀθηναίων ἱρὰ ποιεύντων τοῖσι δυώδεκα θεοῖσι ἱκέται ἱζόμενοι ἐπὶ τὸν βωμὸν ἐδίδοσαν σφέας αὐτούς.
So the Lacedaemonians gave this advice to the Plataeans, and they did not disregard it; but while the Athenians were performing sacrifices to the twelve gods, they sat at the altar as suppliants and gave themselves up.
Θηβαῖοι δὲ πυθόμενοι ταῦτα ἐστρατεύοντο ἐπὶ τοὺς Πλαταιέας, Ἀθηναῖοι δέ σφι ἐβοήθεον.
The Thebans, hearing of this, marched against the Plataeans, and the Athenians came to their aid.
§6.108.5μελλόντων δὲ συνάπτειν μάχην Κορίνθιοι οὐ περιεῖδον, παρατυχόντες δὲ καὶ καταλλάξαντες ἐπιτρεψάντων ἀμφοτέρων οὔρισαν τὴν χώρην ἐπὶ τοῖσιδε, ἐᾶν Θηβαίους Βοιωτῶν τοὺς μὴ βουλομένους ἐς Βοιωτοὺς τελέειν.
But when they were about to join battle, the Corinthians did not allow it; being present and having reconciled them, since both sides submitted the matter to them, they bounded the territory on these conditions: that the Thebans should leave alone those of the Boeotians who did not wish to belong to the Boeotian league.
Κορίνθιοι μὲν δὴ ταῦτα γνόντες ἀπαλλάσσοντο, Ἀθηναίοισι δὲ ἀπιοῦσι ἐπεθήκαντο Βοιωτοί, ἐπιθέμενοι δὲ ἑσσώθησαν τῇ μάχῃ.
The Corinthians, having made this decision, departed; but as the Athenians were withdrawing, the Boeotians attacked them; but having attacked, they were defeated in the battle.
§6.108.6ὑπερβάντες δὲ οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι τοὺς οἱ Κορίνθιοι ἔθηκαν Πλαταιεῦσι εἶναι οὔρους, τούτους ὑπερβάντες τὸν Ἀσωπὸν αὐτὸν ἐποιήσαντο οὖρον Θηβαίοισι πρὸς Πλαταιέας εἶναι καὶ Ὑσιάς.
The Athenians, passing beyond the boundaries which the Corinthians had set for the Plataeans, and passing beyond these, made the Asopus river itself the boundary for the Thebans towards the Plataeans and Hysiae.
ἔδοσαν μὲν δὴ οἱ Πλαταιέες σφέας αὐτοὺς Ἀθηναίοισι τρόπῳ τῷ εἰρημένῳ, ἧκον δὲ τότε ἐς Μαραθῶνα βοηθέοντες.
In the manner described, then, the Plataeans had given themselves up to the Athenians, and they had come at that time to Marathon to bring aid.
