§13.76.1τῶν δὲ κατὰ τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν τοῦτον πράξεων τέλος ἐχουσῶν Ἀθήνησι μὲν Ἀντιγένης τὴν ἀρχὴν παρέλαβε, Ῥωμαῖοι δʼ ὑπάτους κατέστησαν Γάιον Μάνιον Αἰμίλιον καὶ Γάιον Οὐαλέριον.
When the events of this year had come to an end, at Athens Antigenes succeeded to the office, and the Romans established Gaius Manius Aemilius and Gaius Valerius as consuls.
περὶ δὲ τούτους τοὺς χρόνους Κόνων ὁ τῶν Ἀθηναίων στρατηγός, ἐπειδὴ παρέλαβε τὰς δυνάμεις ἐν Σάμῳ, τάς τε παρούσας τῶν νεῶν ἐξηρτύετο καὶ τὰς παρὰτῶν συμμάχων ἤθροιζε, σπεύδων ἐφάμιλλον κατασκευάσαι τὸν στόλον ταῖς τῶν πολεμίων ναυσίν.
About this time Conon, the Athenian general, when he had taken over the forces in Samos, began to fit out the ships already present and to collect those from the allies, being eager to make his fleet a match for the ships of the enemy.
§13.76.2οἱ δὲ Σπαρτιᾶται, τῷ Λυσάνδρῳ διεληλυθότος ἤδη τοῦ τῆς ναυαρχίας χρόνου, Καλλικρατίδην ἐπὶ τὴν διαδοχὴν ἀπέστειλαν.
And the Spartans, since Lysander's term as admiral had already expired, sent Callicratidas as his successor.
οὗτος δὲ νέος μὲν ἦν παντελῶς, ἄκακος δὲ καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν ἁπλοῦς, οὔπω τῶν ξενικῶν ἠθῶν πεπειραμένος, δικαιότατος δὲ Σπαρτιατῶν· ὁμολογουμένως δὲ καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀρχὴν οὐδὲν ἔπραξεν ἄδικον οὔτʼ εἰς πόλιν οὔτʼ εἰς ἰδιώτην, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς ἐπιχειροῦσιν αὐτὸν διαφθείρειν χρήμασι χαλεπῶς ἔφερε καὶ δίκην παρʼ αὐτῶν ἐλάμβανεν.
He was quite a young man, simple-hearted and straightforward in spirit, not yet having experienced foreign customs, and the most just of the Spartans; and by common consent, during his command he did no injustice to any city or to any private individual, but was even indignant at those who attempted to corrupt him with money and inflicted punishment upon them.
§13.76.3οὗτος καταπλεύσας εἰς Ἔφεσον παρέλαβε τὰς ναῦς, μεταπεμψάμενος δὲ καὶ τὰς παρὰ τῶν συμμάχων ναῦς τὰς πάσας σὺν ταῖς παρὰ Λυσάνδρου παρέλαβεν ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα.
Having sailed down to Ephesus, he took over the ships, and having also summoned the ships from the allies, he received in total one hundred and forty, including those from Lysander.
ἐν δὲ τῇ Χίων χώρᾳ Δελφίνιον κατεχόντων Ἀθηναίων, ἐπὶ τούτους ἔπλευσε μετὰ πασῶν τῶν νεῶν, καὶ πολιορκεῖν ἐπεχείρησεν.
And since the Athenians held Delphinium in the territory of Chios, he sailed against them with all his ships and attempted to besiege them.
§13.76.4οἱ δʼ Ἀθηναῖοι περὶ πεντακοσίους ὄντες κατεπλάγησαν τὸ μέγεθος τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ διεξελθόντες ἐξέλιπον τὸ χωρίον ὑπόσπονδοι.
The Athenians, being about five hundred, were terrified by the magnitude of the force, and passing through they abandoned the place under truce.
Καλλικρατίδας δὲ τὸ μὲν φρούριον παραλαβὼν κατέσκαψεν, ἐπὶ δὲ Τηίους πλεύσας, καὶ νυκτὸς παρεισπεσὼν ἐντὸς τῶν τειχῶν, διήρπασε τὴν πόλιν.
And Callicratidas, having taken over the fortress, razed it to the ground, and having sailed against Teos, and having slipped inside the walls by night, he plundered the city.
§13.76.5μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα πλεύσας εἰς Λέσβον, τῇ Μηθύμνῃ προσέβαλε μετὰ τῆς δυνάμεως παρʼ Ἀθηναίων ἐχούσῃ φρουράν.
After these things, having sailed to Lesbos, he attacked Methymna with his force, which had a garrison from the Athenians.
ποιησάμενος δὲ συνεχεῖς προσβολὰς ἐν ἀρχῇ μὲν οὐδὲν ἤνυε, μετʼ ὀλίγον δέ τινων ἐνδόντων αὐτῷ τὴν πόλιν παρεισέπεσεν ἐντὸς τῶν τειχῶν, καὶ τὰς μὲν κτήσεις διήρπασε, τῶν δʼ ἀνδρῶν φεισάμενος ἀπέδωκε τοῖς Μηθυμναίοις τὴν πόλιν.
Having made continuous assaults, at first he accomplished nothing, but shortly afterward, when some betrayed the city to him, he burst inside the walls, and although he plundered the property, he spared the inhabitants and restored the city to the Methymnaeans.
§13.76.6τούτων δὲ πραχθέντων ἐπὶ τὴν Μιτυλήνην ὥρμησε, καὶ τοὺς μὲν ὁπλίτας Θώρακι τῷ Λακεδαιμονίῳ παραδοὺς ἐκέλευσε πεζῇ κατὰ σπουδὴν ἐπείγεσθαι, ταῖς δὲ ναυσὶν αὐτὸς παρέπλευσεν.
And when these things had been accomplished, he set out against Mitylene, and having delivered the hoplites to Thorax the Lacedaemonian, he ordered them to hasten by land with speed, while he himself sailed along the coast with the ships.
