§11.70.1ἐπʼ ἄρχοντος δʼ Ἀθήνησιν Ἀρχεδημίδου Ῥωμαῖοι μὲν κατέστησαν ὑπάτους Αὖλον Οὐεργίνιον καὶ Τίτον Μινούκιον, Ὀλυμπιὰς δʼ ἤχθη ἑβδομηκοστὴ καὶ ἐνάτη, καθʼ ἣν ἐνίκα στάδιον Ξενοφῶν Κορίνθιος.
When Archedemides was archon in Athens, the Romans established Aulus Virginius and Titus Minucius as consuls, and the seventy-ninth Olympiad was celebrated, in which Xenophon of Corinth won the stadion.
ἐπὶ δὲ τούτων ἀποστάντες Θάσιοι ἀπὸ Ἀθηναίων, μετάλλων ἀμφισβητοῦντες, ἐκπολιορκηθέντες ὑπὸ τῶν Ἀθηναίων ἠναγκάσθησαν πάλιν ὑπʼ ἐκείνους τάττεσθαι.
During their term of office, the Thasians, who had revolted from the Athenians over a dispute about mines, were forced, after being reduced by siege by the Athenians, to range themselves once more under their authority.
§11.70.2ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ Αἰγινήτας ἀποστάντας Ἀθηναῖοι χειρωσόμενοι τὴν Αἴγιναν πολιορκεῖν ἐπεχείρησαν· αὕτη γὰρ ἡ πόλις τοῖς κατὰ θάλατταν ἀγῶσι πολλάκις εὐημεροῦσα φρονήματός τε πλήρης ἦν καὶ χρημάτων καὶ τριήρων εὐπορεῖτο, καὶ τὸ σύνολον ἀλλοτρίως ἀεὶ διέκειτο πρὸς Ἀθηναίους.
Similarly, the Athenians also undertook to besiege Aegina, intending to subdue the Aeginetans who had revolted; for this city, often possessing the advantage in battles at sea, was full of pride and well supplied with wealth and triremes, and on the whole was always hostilely disposed toward the Athenians.
§11.70.3διόπερ στρατεύσαντες ἐπʼ αὐτὴν τὴν χώραν ἐδῄωσαν, καὶ τὴν Αἴγιναν πολιορκοῦντες ἔσπευδον ἑλεῖν κατὰ κράτος.
Therefore, after making an expedition against it, they ravaged its territory, and by besieging Aegina they strove to take it by force.
καθόλου γὰρ ἐπὶ πολὺ τῇ δυνάμει προκόπτοντες οὐκέτι τοῖς συμμάχοις ὥσπερ πρότερον ἐπιεικῶς ἐχρῶντο, ἀλλὰ βιαίως καὶ ὑπερηφάνως ἦρχον.
For in general, as they made great progress in power, they no longer treated their allies with moderation as they had done before, but ruled them violently and insolently.
§11.70.4διόπερ οἱ πολλοὶ τῶν συμμάχων τὴν βαρύτητα φέρειν ἀδυνατοῦντες ἀλλήλοις διελέγοντο περὶ ἀποστάσεως, καί τινες τοῦ κοινοῦ συνεδρίου καταφρονήσαντες κατʼ ἰδίαν ἐτάττοντο.
For this reason, the majority of the allies, being unable to bear their harshness, were discussing revolt among themselves, and some, despising the common council, began to organize themselves privately.
§11.70.5ἅμα δὲ τούτοις πραττομένοις Ἀθηναῖοι θαλαττοκρατοῦντες εἰς Ἀμφίπολιν ἐξέπεμψαν οἰκήτορας μυρίους, οὓς μὲν ἐκ τῶν πολιτῶν, οὓς δʼ ἐκ τῶν συμμάχων καταλέξαντες, καὶ τὴν χώραν κατακληρουχήσαντες μέχρι μέν τινος ἐκράτουν τῶν Θρᾳκῶν, ὕστερον δὲ αὐτῶν ἀναβάντων εἰς Θρᾴκην συνέβη πάντας τοὺς εἰσβαλόντας εἰς τὴν χώραν τῶν Θρᾳκῶν ὑπὸ τῶν Ἠδωνῶν καλουμένων διαφθαρῆναι.
While these things were taking place, the Athenians, being masters of the sea, sent out ten thousand colonists to Amphipolis, having selected some from their own citizens and others from their allies; and having portioned out the land in allotments, they held the upper hand over the Thracians for a time, but later, when they advanced into the interior of Thrace, it happened that all who had invaded the country were destroyed by the Thracians who are called Edonians.
