§20.46.1τούτων δὲ ὀλίγαις ἡμέραις κατευτυχηθέντων ὁ μὲν Δημήτριος κατασκάψας τὴν Μουνυχίαν ὁλόκληρον τῷ δήμῳ τὴν ἐλευθερίαν ἀποκατέστησεν καὶ φιλίαν καὶ συμμαχίαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς συνέθετο,
When these things had been successfully accomplished within a few days, Demetrius, having razed Munychia completely, restored freedom to the people and concluded friendship and alliance with them.
§20.46.2οἱ δὲ Ἀθηναῖοι γράψαντος ψήφισμα Στρατοκλέους ἐψηφίσαντο χρυσᾶς μὲν εἰκόνας ἐφʼ ἅρματος στῆσαι τοῦ τε Ἀντιγόνου καὶ Δημητρίου πλησίον Ἁρμοδίου καὶ Ἀριστογείτονος, στεφανῶσαι δὲ ἀμφοτέρους ἀπὸ ταλάντων διακοσίων καὶ βωμὸν ἱδρυσαμένους προσαγορεῦσαι Σωτήρων, πρὸς δὲ τὰς δέκα φυλὰς προσθεῖναι δύο, Δημητριάδα καὶ Ἀντιγονίδα, καὶ συντελεῖν αὐτοῖς κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν ἀγῶνας καὶ πομπὴν καὶ θυσίαν, ἐνυφαινόντων αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς πέπλον.
On the other hand, the Athenians, on the proposal of Stratocles who drafted the decree, voted to set up golden statues of both Antigonus and Demetrius on a chariot near Harmodius and Aristogeiton, to crown both of them at a cost of two hundred talents, to establish an altar and address them as Saviors, to add two tribes, Demetrias and Antigonis, to the ten, and to celebrate annual games, a procession, and a sacrifice for them, weaving them into the robe of Athena.
§20.46.3ὁ μὲν οὖν δῆμος ἐν τῷ Λαμιακῷ πολέμῳ καταλυθεὶς ὑπʼ Ἀντιπάτρου μετʼ ἔτη πεντεκαίδεκα παραδόξως ἐκομίσατο τὴν πάτριον πολιτείαν· ὁ δὲ Δημήτριος, φρουρουμένης τῆς Μεγαρέων πόλεως, ἐκπολιορκήσας αὐτὴν ἀπέδωκεν τὴν αὐτονομίαν τῷ δήμῳ καὶ τιμῶν ἀξιολόγων ἔτυχεν ὑπὸ τῶν εὖ παθόντων.
Thus the people, having been overthrown by Antipater in the Lamian War, unexpectedly recovered their ancestral constitution after fifteen years; Demetrius, on the other hand, since the city of the Megarians was garrisoned, took it by siege, restored autonomy to the people, and obtained remarkable honors from those who had benefited.
§20.46.4Ἀντίγονος δέ, παραγενομένων πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἀθήνηθεν πρεσβευτῶν καὶ τό τε περὶ τῶν τιμῶν ἀναδόντων ψήφισμα καὶ περὶ σίτου καὶ ξύλων εἰς ναυπηγίαν διαλεχθέντων, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς πυροῦ μὲν μεδίμνων πεντεκαίδεκα μυριάδας, ὕλην δὲ τὴν ἱκανὴν ναυσὶν ἑκατόν· ἐξ Ἴμβρου δὲ τὴν φρουρὰν ἐξαγαγὼν ἀπέδωκεν αὐτοῖς τὴν πόλιν.
Antigonus, when ambassadors came to him from Athens and delivered the decree concerning the honors and spoke concerning grain and timber for shipbuilding, gave them one hundred and fifty thousand medimnoi of wheat and sufficient timber for a hundred ships; and having withdrawn the garrison from Imbros, he restored the city to them.
§20.46.5πρὸς δὲ τὸν υἱὸν Δημήτριον ἔγραψε κελεύων τῶν μὲν συμμαχίδων πόλεων συνέδρους συστήσασθαι τοὺς βουλευσομένους κοινῇ περὶ τῶν τῇ Ἑλλάδι συμφερόντων, αὐτὸν δὲ μετὰ τῆς δυνάμεως εἰς Κύπρον πλεῦσαι καὶ διαπολεμῆσαι τὴν ταχίστην πρὸς τοὺς Πτολεμαίου στρατηγούς.
And he wrote to his son Demetrius ordering him to establish a council of delegates from the allied cities who would deliberate in common about the interests of Greece, and to sail with his force to Cyprus and wage war as quickly as possible against the generals of Ptolemy.
§20.46.6οὗτος μὲν οὖν συντόμως πάντα πράξας κατὰ τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ κομισθεὶς ἐπὶ Καρίας παρεκάλει τοὺς Ῥοδίους πρὸς τὸν κατὰ Πτολεμαίου πόλεμον.
He, then, having done everything quickly according to the commands of his father and having travelled to Caria, invited the Rhodians to the war against Ptolemy.
οὐ προσεχόντων δʼ αὐτῶν, ἀλλὰ κοινὴν εἰρήνην αἱρουμένων ἄγειν πρὸς ἅπαντας ταύτην ἀρχὴν συνέβη γενέσθαι τῷ δήμῳ τῆς πρὸς Ἀντίγονον ἀλλοτριότητος.
But they not paying attention, but choosing to maintain a common peace toward all, this happened to be the beginning for the people of their estrangement toward Antigonus.
