§14.97.1τοῦ δʼ ἔτους τούτου διεληλυθότος Ἀθήνησι μὲν ἦν ἄρχων Νικοτέλης, ἐν Ῥώμῃ δὲ τὴν ὑπατικὴν ἀρχὴν διῴκουν χιλίαρχοι τρεῖς, Μάρκος Φούριος, Γάιος Αἰμίλιος.
When this year had passed, Nicoteles was archon in Athens, and in Rome three military tribunes, Marcus Furius and Gaius Aemilius, administered the consular authority.
τούτων δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν παρειληφότων οἱ λακωνίζοντες τῶν Ῥοδίων ἐπαναστάντες τῷ δήμῳ τοὺς τὰ τῶν Ἀθηναίων φρονοῦντας ἐξέβαλον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως.
When these had taken over the office, those of the Rhodians who favored the Lacedaemonians rose up against the people and expelled from the city those who favored the Athenians.
§14.97.2συνδραμόντων δʼ αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις καὶ πειρωμένων ἀντέχεσθαι τῶν πραγμάτων, ἐπεκράτησαν οἱ Λακεδαιμονίοις συμμαχοῦντες, καὶ πολλοὺς μὲν ἐφόνευσαν, τοὺς δὲ διαφυγόντας ἐξεκήρυξαν.
Although the latter gathered together in arms and attempted to hold onto the government, those allied with the Lacedaemonians prevailed; they killed many of them, and banished those who had escaped.
εὐθὺς δὲ καὶ πρέσβεις ἀπέστειλαν εἰς Λακεδαίμονα περὶ βοηθείας, εὐλαβούμενοι μή τινες τῶν πολιτῶν νεωτερίσωσιν.
At once they also sent envoys to Lacedaemon to ask for aid, being apprehensive lest some of the citizens should start a revolution.
§14.97.3Λακεδαιμόνιοι δʼ αὐτοῖς ἀπέστειλαν ἑπτὰ τριήρεις καὶ τοὺς ἀφηγησομένους τῶν πραγμάτων τρεῖς ἄνδρας, Εὐδόκιμον καὶ Φιλόδοκον καὶ Διφίλαν.
The Lacedaemonians sent to them seven triremes and three men to direct their affairs, Eudocimus, Philodocus, and Diphilas.
οὗτοι δὲ πρῶτον εἰς Σάμον κομισθέντες ἀπέστησαν τὴν πόλιν Ἀθηναίων, ἔπειτα καταπλεύσαντες εἰς Ῥόδον τῶν ἐνταῦθα πραγμάτων εἶχον τὴν ἐπιμέλειαν.
These, having first proceeded to Samos, revolted the city from the Athenians, and then, sailing down to Rhodes, took charge of affairs there.
§14.97.4οἱ δὲ Λακεδαιμόνιοι, προχωρούντων αὐτοῖς τῶν πραγμάτων, ἔγνωσαν ἀντέχεσθαι τῆς θαλάττης, καὶ πάλιν ἐκ τοῦ κατʼ ὀλίγον ἐκράτουν τῶν συμμάχων ἀθροίσαντες ναυτικόν.
And the Lacedaemonians, since their affairs were progressing well, decided to lay hold of the sea, and once again, gradually, they gained control of their allies and assembled a navy.
οὗτοι μὲν οὖν εἴς τε Σάμον καὶ Κνίδον καὶ Ῥόδον κατέπλευσαν, καὶ πανταχόθεν ναῦς τε καὶ τοὺς ἀρίστους καταγράφοντες ἐπιβάτας ἐξήρτυον πολυτελῶς τριήρεις εἴκοσιν ἑπτά.
These, then, sailed to Samos, Cnidus, and Rhodes, and registering ships and the best marines from all sides, they lavishly equipped twenty-seven triremes.
§14.97.5Ἀγησίλαος δʼ ὁ τῶν Λακεδαιμονίων βασιλεύς, ἀκούων τοὺς Ἀργείους περὶ τὴν Κόρινθον διατρίβοντας, ἐξήγαγε τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίους πανδημεὶ πλὴν μιᾶς μόρας.
Agesilaus, the king of the Lacedaemonians, hearing that the Argives were lingering around Corinth, led out the Lacedaemonians in full force except for one mora.
ἐπελθὼν δὲ τὴν Ἀργείαν πᾶσαν τὰς μὲν κτήσεις διήρπασεν, τὴν δὲ χώραν δενδροτομήσας εἰς τὴν Σπάρτην ἀπεχώρησεν.
Having invaded the whole Argive territory, he plundered their possessions, and after cutting down the trees of the countryside, he withdrew to Sparta.
