§12.76.1Λακεδαιμόνιοι δὲ ὁρῶντες ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς συνισταμένην τὴν Πελοπόννησον καὶ προορώμενοι τὸ μέγεθος τοῦ πολέμου, τὰ κατὰ τὴν ἡγεμονίαν ὡς ἦν δυνατὸν ἠσφαλίζοντο.
The Lacedaemonians, seeing the Peloponnese uniting against them and anticipating the magnitude of the war, secured their affairs regarding their leadership as far as was possible.
καὶ πρῶτον μὲν τοὺς μετὰ Βρασίδα κατὰ τὴν Θρᾴκην ἐστρατευμένους Εἵλωτας ὄντας χιλίους ἠλευθέρωσαν, μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα τοὺς ἐν τῇ Σφακτηρίᾳ νήσῳ ληφθέντας αἰχμαλώτους Σπαρτιάτας ἀτιμίᾳ περιβεβληκότες, ὡς τὴν Σπάρτην ἀδοξοτέραν πεποιηκότας, ἀπέλυσαν τῆς ἀτιμίας.
And first indeed, they freed one thousand of those who had campaigned in Thrace with Brasidas, who were Helots; and after this, having subjected to disenfranchisement the Spartan citizens who had been taken captive on the island of Sphacteria, on the ground that they had brought loss of reputation to Sparta, they released them from this disenfranchisement.
§12.76.2ἀκολούθως δὲ τούτοις τοῖς κατὰ τὸν πόλεμον ἐπαίνοις καὶ τιμαῖς προετρέποντο τὰς προγεγενημένας ἀνδραγαθίας ἐν τοῖς μέλλουσιν ἀγῶσιν ὑπερβάλλεσθαι· τοῖς τε συμμάχοις ἐπιεικέστερον προσεφέροντο, καὶ ταῖς φιλανθρωπίαις τοὺς ἀλλοτριωτάτους αὐτῶν ἐθεράπευον.
Consistent with these measures, by means of praises and honors in war, they encouraged them to surpass their past deeds of valor in the coming struggles; and they behaved more leniently toward their allies, and by acts of kindness won over those who were most alienated from among them.
§12.76.3Ἀθηναῖοι δὲ τοὐναντίον τῷ φόβῳ βουλόμενοι καταπλήξασθαι τοὺς ἐν ὑποψίᾳ ἀποστάσεως ὄντας, παράδειγμα πᾶσιν ἀνέδειξαν τὴν ἐκ τῶν Σκιωναίων τιμωρίαν·
The Athenians, on the contrary, wishing to terrify with fear those who were suspected of rebellion, displayed the punishment of the Scionaeans as an example to all.
ἐκπολιορκήσαντες γὰρ αὐτοὺς καὶ πάντας ἡβηδὸν κατασφάξαντες, παῖδας μὲν καὶ γυναῖκας ἐξηνδραποδίσαντο,τὴν δὲ νῆσον οἰκεῖν παρέδοσαν τοῖς Πλαταιεῦσιν, ἐκπεπτωκόσι διʼ ἐκείνους ἐκ τῆς πατρίδος.
For having reduced them by siege and slaughtered all the adult males, they enslaved the children and women, and handed over the island to the Plataeans, who had been driven out of their homeland because of those men, to inhabit.
§12.76.4περὶ δὲ τοὺς αὐτοὺς χρόνους κατὰ τὴν Ἰταλίαν Καμπανοὶ μεγάλῃ δυνάμει στρατεύσαντες ἐπὶ Κύμην ἐνίκησαν μάχῃ τοὺς Κυμαίους καὶ τοὺς πλείους τῶν ἀντιταχθέντων κατέκοψαν.
At about the same time, in Italy, the Campanians, having campaigned with a large force against Cyme, defeated the Cymaeans in battle and cut down the majority of those arrayed against them.
προσκαθεζόμενοι δὲ τῇ πολιορκίᾳ καὶ πλείους προσβολὰς ποιησάμενοι κατὰ κράτος εἷλον τὴν πόλιν.
Continuing the siege and making several assaults, they took the city by storm.
διαρπάσαντες δʼ αὐτὴν καὶ τοὺς καταληφθέντας ἐξανδραποδισάμενοι τοὺς ἱκανοὺς οἰκήτορας ἐξ αὑτῶν ἀπέδειξαν.
Having plundered it and enslaved those who were captured, they established a sufficient number of settlers from among themselves.
