§13.42.1τῶν δὲ στρατιωτῶν ἀσμένως τοὺς λόγους προσδεξαμένων, καὶ περὶ τούτων διαπεμψαμένων εἰς Ἀθήνας, ἔδοξε τῷ δήμῳ τὸν ἄνδρα τῶν ἐγκλημάτων ἀπολῦσαι καὶ μεταδοῦναι τῆς στρατηγίας· θεωροῦντες γὰρ αὐτοῦ τὸ πρακτικὸν τῆς τόλμης καὶ τὴν παρὰ τοῖς Ἕλλησι δόξαν, ὑπελάμβανον, ὅπερ ἦν εἰκός, οὐ μικρὰν ῥοπὴν ἔσεσθαι τοῖς σφετέροις πράγμασι τούτου προσγενομένου.
When the soldiers gladly accepted his words and sent messengers to Athens regarding these matters, the people resolved to acquit the man of the charges and to give him a share in the command; for reflecting upon his practical boldness and his reputation among the Greeks, they assumed, as was natural, that if he were added to their cause, it would be of no small weight for their affairs.
§13.42.2καὶ γὰρ ὁ τῆς πολιτείας ἀφηγούμενος τότε Θηραμένης, ἀνὴρ εἰ καί τις ἄλλος εἶναι δόξας συνετός, τῷ δήμῳ συνεβούλευσε κατάγειν τὸν Ἀλκιβιάδην.
Indeed, Theramenes, who was then leading the government and was thought to be as prudent as any other man, advised the people to recall Alcibiades.
τούτων δʼ ἀπαγγελθέντων εἰς Σάμον, Ἀλκιβιάδης πρὸς αἷς εἶχεν ἰδίαις ναυσὶ τρισκαίδεκα ἐννέα προσέλαβε, καὶ μετὰ τούτων ἐκπλεύσας εἰς Ἁλικαρνασσὸν παρὰ τῆς πόλεως εἰσεπράξατο χρήματα.
When these matters were reported in Samos, Alcibiades, in addition to the thirteen private ships he already had, took on nine more, and sailing with these to Halicarnassus, he exacted money from the city.
§13.42.3μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα τὴν Μεροπίδα πορθήσας μετὰ πολλῆς λείας ἀνέπλευσεν εἰς Σάμον.
After this, having plundered Meropis, he sailed back to Samos with much booty.
πολλῶν δὲ συναχθέντων λαφύρων, τοῖς τʼ ἐν Σάμῳ στρατιώταις καὶ τοῖς μεθʼ ἑαυτοῦ διελόμενος τὰς ὠφελείας ταχὺ τοὺς εὖ παθόντας εὔνους ἑαυτῷ κατεσκεύασεν.
When a large amount of plunder had been gathered, he distributed the benefits both to the soldiers in Samos and to those with him, and quickly made those who had been well-treated well-disposed toward him.
§13.42.4περὶ δὲ τὸν αὐτὸν χρόνον Ἀντάνδριοι, φρουρὰν ἔχοντες, μετεπέμψαντο παρὰ Λακεδαιμονίων στρατιώτας, μεθʼ ὧν ἐκβαλόντες τὴν φυλακὴν ἐλευθέραν ᾤκουν τὴν πατρίδα· οἱ γὰρ Λακεδαιμόνιοι περὶ τῆς εἰς Φοινίκην ἀποστολῆς τῶν τριακοσίων νεῶν ἐγκαλοῦντες τῷ Φαρναβάζῳ τοῖς Ἄντανδρον οἰκοῦσι συνεμάχησαν.
At about the same time, the Antandrians, who had a garrison in their city, sent for soldiers from the Lacedaemonians, with whose help they expelled the garrison and lived in a free fatherland; for the Lacedaemonians, bringing charges against Pharnabazus concerning the dispatch of the three hundred ships to Phoenicia, allied with those who inhabited Antandrus.
§13.42.5τῶν δὲ συγγραφέων Θουκυδίδης μὲν τὴν ἱστορίαν κατέστροφε, περιλαβὼν χρόνον ἐτῶν εἴκοσι καὶ δυοῖν ἐν βύβλοις ὀκτώ· τινὲς δὲ διαιροῦσιν εἰς ἐννέα·
Among the historians, Thucydides brought his history to a close, covering a period of twenty-two years in eight books, though some divide it into nine.
Ξενοφῶν δὲ καὶ Θεόπομπος ἀφʼ ὧν ἀπέλιπε Θουκυδίδης τὴν ἀρχὴν πεποίηνται, καὶ Ξενοφῶν μὲν περιέλαβε χρόνον ἐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ὀκτώ, Θεόπομπος δὲ τὰς Ἑλληνικὰς πράξεις διελθὼν ἐπʼ ἔτη ἑπτακαίδεκα καταλήγει τὴν ἱστορίαν εἰς τὴν περὶ Κνίδον ναυμαχίαν ἐν βύβλοις δώδεκα.
Xenophon and Theopompus began their works where Thucydides left off; Xenophon covered a period of forty-eight years, while Theopompus, having narrated Greek affairs for seventeen years, concluded his history at the naval battle of Cnidus in twelve books.
§13.42.6τὰ μὲν οὖν κατὰ τὴν Ἑλλάδα καὶ τὴν Ἀσίαν ἐν τούτοις ἦν.
Such, then, were the affairs in Greece and Asia.
Ῥωμαῖοι δὲ πρὸς Αἴκους διαπολεμοῦντες ἐνέβαλον αὐτῶν εἰς τὴν χώραν μετὰ πολλῆς δυνάμεως· περιστρατοπεδεύσαντες δὲ πόλιν Βώλας ὀνομαζομένην ἐξεπολιόρκησαν.
But the Romans, waging war against the Aequi, invaded their territory with a large force, and besieging a city named Bolae, they took it by storm.
