§19.73.1τῶν δὲ κατὰ τοῦτον τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν πράξεων τέλος ἐχουσῶν Ἀθήνησι μὲν παρέλαβε τὴν ἀρχὴν Θεόφραστος, ἐν Ῥώμῃ δʼ ὕπατοι κατεστάθησαν Μάρκος Πόπλιος καὶ Γάιος Σουλπίκιος.
When the events of this year came to an end, Theophrastus took over the archonship in Athens, and in Rome Marcus Poplius and Gaius Sulpicius were established as consuls.
ἐπὶ δὲ τούτων Καλλαντιανοὶ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τοῖς ἐν ἀριστερᾷ μέρεσι τοῦ Πόντου καὶ φρουρὰν ἔχοντες παρὰ Λυσιμάχου ταύτην ἐξέβαλον καὶ τῆς αὐτονομίας ἀντείχοντο.
During their term of office, the inhabitants of Callantis, who dwelt on the left shores of the Pontus and had a garrison sent by Lysimachus, expelled this garrison and began to strive for their autonomy.
§19.73.2ὡσαύτως δὲ τήν τε τῶν Ἰστριανῶν πόλιν καὶ τὰς ἄλλας τὰς πλησιοχώρους· ἐλευθερώσαντες συνέθεντο συμμαχίαν ὡς κοινῇ πολεμεῖν τῷ δυνάστῃ· προσελάβοντο δʼ εἰς τὴν φιλίαν τῶν τε Θρᾳκῶν καὶ Σκυθῶν τοὺς ὁμοροῦντας, ὥστε τὸ πᾶν εἶναι σύστημα βάρος ἔχον καὶ δυνάμενον ἁδραῖς δυνάμεσιν ἀντιτάσσεσθαι.
In like manner, having liberated the city of the Istrians and the other neighboring cities, they concluded an alliance to wage war in common against the ruler; and they drew into their friendship those of the Thracians and Scythians who bordered upon them, so that the whole combination became a powerful body, capable of opposing formidable forces.
§19.73.3ὁ δὲ Λυσίμαχος πυθόμενος τὰ πεπραγμένα μετὰ τῆς δυνάμεως ὥρμησεν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀφεστηκότας.
When Lysimachus learned of these deeds, he set out with his army against the rebels.
ποιούμενος δὲ τὴν πορείαν διὰ τῆς Θρᾴκης καὶ τὸν Αἷμον ὑπερβαλὼν κατεστρατοπέδευσε πλησίον τῆς Ὀδησσοῦ.
Making his march through Thrace and crossing Mount Haemus, he encamped near Odessus.
πολιορκίαν δὲ συστησάμενος ταχὺ τοὺς ἔνδον κατεπλήξατο καὶ διʼ ὁμολογίας παρέλαβε τὴν πόλιν.
Having commenced a siege, he quickly struck terror into those within and received the city by agreement.
§19.73.4μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα τῷ παραπλησίῳ τρόπῳ τοὺς Ἰστριανοὺς ἀνακτησάμενος ἀνέζευξεν ἐπὶ Καλλαντιανούς.
After this, having recovered the Istrians in a similar manner, he marched against the Callantians.
καθʼ ὃν δὴ χρόνον ἧκον οἵ τε Σκύθαι καὶ Θρᾷκες σὺν πολλῇ δυνάμει βοηθήσοντες τοῖς συμμάχοις κατὰ τὰς συνθήκας.
At this very time, the Scythians and Thracians arrived with a large force to aid their allies according to the treaties.
§19.73.5οἷς ἀπαντήσας Λυσίμαχος καὶ συμβαλὼν ἐξ ἐφόδου τοὺς μὲν Θρᾷκας καταπληξάμενος ἔπεισε μεταθέσθαι, τοὺς δὲ Σκύθας ἐκ παρατάξεως νικήσας καὶ πολλοὺς ἀνελὼν τούτων μὲν τοὺς ὑπολειφθέντας ἐδίωξεν ἐκτὸς τῶν ὅρων, τὴν δὲ τῶν Καλλαντιανῶν πόλιν περιστρατοπεδεύσας συνεστήσατο πολιορκίαν, φιλοτιμούμενος ἐκ παντὸς τρόπου κολάσαι τοὺς αἰτίους τῆς ἀποστάσεως.
Lysimachus, meeting them and engaging them at once, struck terror into the Thracians and persuaded them to change sides, and having defeated the Scythians in a pitched battle and slain many of them, he pursued the survivors beyond the borders. Then, having encamped around the city of the Callantians, he began a siege, being eager in every way to punish those responsible for the rebellion.
§19.73.6περὶ ταῦτα δʼ ὄντος αὐτοῦ παρῆσάν τινες ἀπαγγέλλοντες ὅτι δύο δυνάμεις ἀπέσταλκεν Ἀντίγονος ἐπὶ βοήθειαν τοῖς Καλλαντιανοῖς, τὴν μὲν πεζῇ, τὴν δὲ κατὰ θάλασσαν, καὶ διότι τῷ μὲν στόλῳ Λύκων ὁ στρατηγὸς παραπέπλευκεν εἰς τὸν Πόντον, Παυσανίας δʼ ἔχων οὐκ ὀλίγους στρατιώτας περὶ τὸ καλούμενον Ἱερὸν κατεστρατοπέδευσεν.
While he was occupied with these matters, some men arrived reporting that Antigonus had sent two forces to the aid of the Callantians, one by land and the other by sea, and that Lycon the general had sailed along with the fleet into the Pontus, and Pausanias, having not a few soldiers, had encamped near the place called Hieron.
§19.73.7ἐφʼ οἷς ὁ Λυσίμαχος διαταραχθεὶς ἐπὶ μὲν τῆς πολιορκίας ἀπέλιπεν τοὺς ἱκανοὺς στρατιώτας, τὸ δὲ κράτιστον τῆς δυνάμεως ἀναλαβὼν αὐτὸς ἠπείγετο, σπεύδων συνάψαι τοῖς πολεμίοις.
Lysimachus, disturbed by these reports, left behind sufficient soldiers for the siege, while he himself, taking the best part of his army, hastened forward, eager to engage the enemy.
§19.73.8παραγενόμενος δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν κατὰ τὸν Αἷμον ὑπερβολὴν εὗρε Σεύθην τὸν βασιλέα τῶν Θρᾳκῶν ἀφεστηκότα πρὸς Ἀντίγονον μετὰ πολλῶν στρατιωτῶν φυλάσσοντα τὰς παρόδους.
Arriving at the pass of Mount Haemus, he found Seuthes, the king of the Thracians, who had revolted to Antigonus, guarding the passes with many soldiers.
§19.73.9συνάψας δʼ αὐτῷ μάχην ἐφʼ ἱκανὸν χρόνον τῶν τε ἰδίων ἀπέβαλεν οὐκ ὀλίγους καὶ τῶν πολεμίων ἀνελὼν παμπληθεῖς ἐβιάσατο τοὺς βαρβάρους.
Joining battle with him for a considerable time, he lost not a few of his own men, but having slain a vast number of the enemy, he forced his way through the barbarians.
§19.73.10ἐπιφανεὶς δὲ καὶ τοῖς περὶ τὸν Παυσανίαν καὶ καταλαβὼν αὐτοὺς εἰς δυσχωρίας συμπεφευγότας ταύτας τʼ ἐξεπολιόρκησε καὶ Παυσανίαν ἀνελὼν τῶν στρατιωτῶν οὓς μὲν ἐλύτρωσεν, οὓς δὲ εἰς τὰς ἰδίας τάξεις διένειμεν.
Appearing also before Pausanias and his men, and finding that they had fled for refuge into difficult terrain, he took these positions by siege, and having slain Pausanias, some of the soldiers he ransomed, while others he distributed into his own ranks.
τὰ μὲν οὖν περὶ Λυσίμαχον ἐν τούτοις ἦν.
Such then was the state of affairs concerning Lysimachus.
