§18.39.1κατὰ δὲ τὴν Ἀσίαν Ἀρριδαῖος καὶ Πίθων οἱ τῶν βασιλέων ἐπιμεληταὶ ἀναζεύξαντες ἀπὸ τοῦ Νείλου μετὰ τῶν βασιλέων καὶ τῆς δυνάμεως ἧκον εἰς Τριπαράδεισον τῆς ἄνω Συρίας.
In Asia, Arridaeus and Pithon, the guardians of the kings, having departed from the Nile with the kings and the army, arrived at Triparadisus in Upper Syria.
§18.39.2ἐνταῦθα δὲ Εὐρυδίκης τῆς βασιλίσσης πολλὰ περιεργαζομένης καὶ ταῖς τῶν ἐπιμελητῶν ἐπιβολαῖς ἀντιπραττούσης οἱ μὲν περὶ τὸν Πίθωνα δυσχρηστούμενοι καὶ τοὺς Μακεδόνας ὁρῶντες τοῖς ἐκείνης προστάγμασιν ἀεὶ μᾶλλον προσέχοντας συνήγαγον ἐκκλησίαν καὶ τὴν ἐπιμέλειαν ἀπείπαντο,
There, as Queen Eurydice was interfering in many matters and opposing the plans of the guardians, Pithon and his associates, being hard pressed and seeing that the Macedonians were paying more and more attention to her commands, called an assembly and resigned the guardianship.
§18.39.3οἱ δὲ Μακεδόνες ἐπιμελητὴν εἵλαντο τὸν Ἀντίπατρον αὐτοκράτορα.
The Macedonians chose Antipater as guardian with full powers.
οὗτος δὲ μετʼ ὀλίγας ἡμέρας καταντήσας εἰς Τριπαράδεισον κατέλαβε τὴν Εὐρυδίκην στασιάζουσαν καὶ τοὺς Μακεδόνας ἀπαλλοτριοῦσαν ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἀντιπάτρου.
He, having arrived at Triparadisus a few days later, found Eurydice causing mutiny and alienating the Macedonians from Antipater.
§18.39.4ταραχῆς δὲ μεγάλης οὔσης ἐν ταῖς δυνάμεσι καὶ κοινῆς ἐκκλησίας συναχθείσης ὁ μὲν Ἀντίπατρος διαλεχθεὶς τοῖς πλήθεσι τὴν μὲν ταραχὴν κατέπαυσε, τὴν δʼ Εὐρυδίκην καταπληξάμενος ἔπεισε τὴν ἡσυχίαν ἄγειν.
Since there was a great disturbance in the forces and a general assembly was gathered, Antipater spoke to the multitude and put an end to the disturbance, and having intimidated Eurydice, persuaded her to keep quiet.
§18.39.5μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα τὰς σατραπείας ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐμερίσατο καὶ Πτολεμαίῳ μὲν τὴν προϋπάρχουσαν προσώρισεν· ἀδύνατον γὰρ ἦν τοῦτον μεταθεῖναι διὰ τὸ δοκεῖν τὴν Αἴγυπτον διὰ τῆς ἰδίας ἀνδρείας ἔχειν οἱονεὶ δορίκτητον.
After this, he distributed the satrapies anew and assigned to Ptolemy the one previously belonging to him; for it was impossible to displace him, because of his seeming to hold Egypt by his own valor, as if won by the spear.
§18.39.6καὶ Λαομέδοντι μὲν τῷ Μιτυληναίῳ Συρίαν ἔδωκε, Φιλοξένῳ δὲ τὴν Κιλικίαν, τῶν δʼ ἄνω σατραπειῶν Μεσοποταμίαν μὲν καὶ τὴν Ἀρβηλῖτιν Ἀμφιμάχῳ, τὴν δὲ Βαβυλωνίαν Σελεύκῳ, Ἀντιγένει δὲ τὴν Σουσιανὴν διὰ τὸ τοῦτον πρῶτον πεποιῆσθαι τὴν ἐπὶ τὸν Περδίκκαν ἐπίθεσιν, Πευκέστῃ δὲ τὴν Περσίδα, Τληπολέμῳ δὲ τὴν Καρμανίαν, Πίθωνι δὲ Μηδίαν, Φιλίππῳ δὲ τὴν Παρθυαίαν, Ἀρίαν δὲ καὶ Δραγγηνὴν Στασάνδρῳ τῷ Κυπρίῳ, τὴν δὲ Βακτριανὴν καὶ Σογδιανὴν Στασάνορι τῷ Σολίῳ ἀπὸ τῆς αὐτῆς ὄντι νήσου.
And to Laomedon of Mitylene he gave Syria, to Philoxenus Cilicia, and of the upper satrapies, Mesopotamia and Arbelitis to Amphimachus, Babylonia to Seleucus, Susiana to Antigenes because of his having been the first to make the attack upon Perdiccas, Persis to Peucestas, Carmania to Tlepolemus, Media to Pithon, Parthia to Philip, Aria and Drangiana to Stasander the Cyprian, and Bactria and Sogdiana to Stasanor of Soli, who was from the same island.
Παροπανισάδας δὲ Ὀξυάρτῃ προσώρισε τῷ Ῥωξάνης πατρὶ τῆς Ἀλεξάνδρου γυναικός, τῆς δὲ Ἰνδικῆς τὰ μὲν συνορίζοντα Παροπανισάδαις Πίθωνι τῷ Ἀγήνορος, τὰς δʼ ἐχομένας βασιλείας τὴν μὲν παρὰ τὸν Ἰνδὸν ποταμὸν Πώρῳ, τὴν δὲ παρὰ τὸν Ὑδάσπην Ταξίλῃ ʽοὐ γὰρ ἦν τούτους τοὺς βασιλεῖς μετακινῆσαι χωρὶς βασιλικῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἡγεμόνος ἐπιφανοῦσʼ, τῶν δὲ πρὸς τὴν ἄρκτον κεκλιμένων Καππαδοκίαν μὲν Νικάνορι, Φρυγίαν δὲ τὴν μεγάλην καὶ Λυκίαν Ἀντιγόνῳ, καθάπερ πρότερον ἔσχε, Καρίαν δὲ Κασάνδρῳ, Λυδίαν δὲ Κλείτῳ, Φρυγίαν δὲ τὴν ἐφʼ Ἑλλησπόντῳ Ἀρριδαίῳ.
Paropanisadae he assigned to Oxyartes, the father of Roxane, Alexander's wife; and of India, the parts bordering on Paropanisadae to Pithon the son of Agenor, and of the adjacent kingdoms, the one along the Indus River to Porus, and the one along the Hydaspes to Taxiles (for it was impossible to displace these kings without a royal army and an illustrious commander); and of the regions slanting toward the north, Cappadocia to Nicanor, Great Phrygia and Lycia to Antigonus, just as he held them before, Caria to Cassander, Lydia to Cleitus, and Hellespontine Phrygia to Arridaeus.
§18.39.7στρατηγὸν δὲ τῆς βασιλικῆς δυνάμεως ἀπέδειξεν Ἀντίγονον, ᾧ προστεταγμένον ἦν καταπολεμῆσαι Εὐμενῆ τε καὶ Ἀλκέταν· παρέζευξε δὲ τῷ Ἀντιγόνῳ χιλίαρχον τὸν υἱὸν Κάσανδρον, ὅπως μὴ δύνηται διαλαθεῖν ἰδιοπραγῶν.
And he appointed Antigonus general of the royal army, to whom it had been commanded to defeat Eumenes and Alcetas; and he associated with Antigonus as chiliarch his own son Cassander, so that he might not be able to act secretly for his own ends.
αὐτὸς δὲ τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἀναλαβὼν καὶ τὴν ἰδίαν δύναμιν προῆγεν ἐπὶ Μακεδονίαν, κατάξων τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἐπὶ τὴν πατρίδα.
And he himself, taking the kings and his own army, advanced toward Macedonia, intending to restore the kings to their homeland.
