§9.107.1τῶν δὲ ἀποφυγόντων βαρβάρων ἐς τὰ ἄκρα τῆς Μυκάλης κατειληθέντων, ἐόντων οὐ πολλῶν, ἐγίνετο κομιδὴ ἐς Σάρδις.
As for the barbarians who had escaped and were cornered on the heights of Mycale, being not many, their retreat to Sardis took place.
πορευομένων δὲ κατʼ ὁδὸν Μασίστης ὁ Δαρείου παρατυχὼν τῷ πάθεϊ τῷ γεγονότι τὸν στρατηγὸν Ἀρταΰντην ἔλεγε πολλά τε καὶ κακά, ἄλλα τε καὶ γυναικὸς κακίω φὰς αὐτὸν εἶναι τοιαῦτα στρατηγήσαντα, καὶ ἄξιον εἶναι παντὸς κακοῦ τὸν βασιλέος οἶκον κακώσαντα.
While they were on their way, Masistes, the son of Darius, who happened to be present at the disaster that had occurred, said many harsh things to the general Artayntes, saying among other things that he was worse than a woman for having commanded in such a manner, and that he deserved every punishment for having brought ruin upon the house of the King.
παρὰ δὲ τοῖσι Πέρσῃσι γυναικὸς κακίω ἀκοῦσαι δέννος μέγιστος ἐστι.
For among the Persians, to be called worse than a woman is the greatest insult.
§9.107.2ὁ δὲ ἐπεὶ πολλὰ ἤκουσε, δεινὰ ποιεύμενος σπᾶται ἐπὶ τὸν Μασίστην τὸν ἀκινάκην, ἀποκτεῖναι θέλων.
And he, when he had heard many such things, being deeply angered, drew his akinakes against Masistes, wishing to kill him.
καί μιν ἐπιθέοντα φρασθεὶς Ξειναγόρης ὁ Πρηξίλεω ἀνὴρ Ἁλικαρνησσεὺς ὄπισθε ἑστεὼς αὐτοῦ Ἀρταΰντεω ἁρπάζει μέσον καὶ ἐξαείρας παίει ἐς τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἐν τούτῳ οἱ δορυφόροι οἱ Μασίστεω προέστησαν.
But Zeinagoras, the son of Prexilaus, a man of Halicarnassus, who was standing behind Artayntes himself, noticing him rushing forward, seized him around the middle, lifted him up, and dashed him to the ground; and in the meantime, the bodyguards of Masistes stood in front to protect him.
§9.107.3ὁ δὲ Ξειναγόρης ταῦτα ἐργάσατο χάριτα αὐτῷ τε Μασίστῃ τιθέμενος καὶ Ξέρξῃ. ἐκσώζων τὸν ἀδελφεὸν τὸν ἐκείνου· καὶ διὰ τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον Ξειναγόρης Κιλικίης πάσης ἦρξε δόντος βασιλέος.
Zeinagoras did this as a favor both to Masistes himself and to Xerxes, by saving his brother; and because of this deed, Zeinagoras ruled over all Cilicia, the King giving it to him.
τῶν δὲ κατʼ ὁδὸν πορευομένων οὐδὲν ἐπὶ πλέον τούτων ἐγένετο, ἀλλʼ ἀπικνέονται ἐς Σάρδις.
And of those traveling on the road nothing further than these things happened, but they arrived at Sardis.
