§4.35.7ἐς δὲ τὴν ἐπιοῦσαν ἀφικομένων ἐκ τῆς πόλεως πλειόνων παρέχουσι καὶ τοῖσδε κερδᾶναι·
On the next day, when more people arrived from the city, they offered to these people also the opportunity to make a profit.
τέλος δὲ γυναῖκες καὶ ἄνδρες κατίασιν ἐπὶ τὰ πλοῖα οἶνόν τε ἀποδόσθαι καὶ ἐκ τῶν βαρβάρων ἀντιληψόμενοι.
And finally, both women and men came down to the ships, intending both to sell wine and to receive goods in exchange from the barbarians.
ἔνθα νῦν ἀποτολμήσαντες οἱ Ἰλλυριοὶ καὶ ἄνδρας πολλοὺς καὶ ἔτι πλείονας τῶν γυναικῶν ἁρπάζουσιν· ἐσθέμενοι δὲ ἐς τὰς ναῦς ἔπλεον τὴν ἐπὶ Ἰονίου, Μοθωναίων ἐρημώσαντες τὸ ἄστυ.
Then indeed, having grown bold, the Illyrians seized many men and even more of the women; and having put them into the ships, they sailed off over the Ionian Sea, having desolated the town of the Mothonaeans.
§4.35.8ἐν Μοθώνῃ δὲ ναός ἐστιν Ἀθηνᾶς Ἀνεμώτιδος· Διομήδην δὲ τὸ ἄγαλμα ἀναθεῖναι καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῇ θεῷ φασι θέσθαι.
In Mothone there is a temple of Athena Anemotis; and they say that Diomedes dedicated the statue and gave the name to the goddess.
βιαιότεροι γὰρ καὶ οὐ κατὰ καιρὸν πνέοντες ἐλυμαίνοντο οἱ ἄνεμοι τὴν χώραν· Διομήδους δὲ εὐξαμένου τῇ Ἀθηνᾷ, τὸ ἀπὸ τούτου συμφορά σφισιν οὐδεμία ἀνέμων γε ἕνεκα ἦλθεν ἐς τὴν γῆν.
For the winds, blowing too violently and unseasonably, used to damage the land; but after Diomedes prayed to Athena, from that time on no disaster came upon their land, at least on account of the winds.
καὶ Ἀρτέμιδος δʼ ἱερόν ἐστιν ἐνταῦθα καὶ ὕδωρ ἐν φρέατι κεκραμένον πίσσῃ, Κυζικηνῷ μύρῳ μάλιστα ἰδεῖν ἐμφερές· παράσχοιτο δʼ ἂν πᾶσαν καὶ χρόαν ὕδωρ καὶ ὀσμήν.
There is also a sanctuary of Artemis there, and water in a well mixed with pitch, very similar in appearance to Cyzicene ointment; and the water would present both its exact color and smell.
§4.35.9γλαυκότατον μὲν οἶδα ὕδωρ θεασάμενος τὸ ἐν Θερμοπύλαις, οὔτι που πᾶν, ἀλλʼ ὅσον κάτεισιν ἐς τὴν κολυμβήθραν ἥντινα ὀνομάζουσιν οἱ ἐπιχώριοι Χύτρους γυναικείους·
Now, I know that I have seen the bluest water at Thermopylae, not indeed all of it, but as much as goes down into the basin which the inhabitants call the Women's Pots.
ξανθὸν δὲ ὕδωρ, οὐδέν τι ἀποδέον τὴν χρόαν αἵματος, Ἑβραίων ἡ γῆ παρέχεται πρὸς Ἰόππῃ πόλει· θαλάσσης μὲν ἐγγυτάτω τὸ ὕδωρ ἐστί, λόγον δὲ ἐς τὴν πηγὴν λέγουσιν οἱ ταύτῃ, Περσέα ἀνελόντα τὸ κῆτος, ᾧ τὴν παῖδα προκεῖσθαι τοῦ Κηφέως, ἐνταῦθα τὸ αἷμα ἀπονίψασθαι.
And the land of the Hebrews near the city of Joppa provides yellow water, in no way inferior to the color of blood; the water is very close to the sea, and the people of that place tell a story about the spring, that Perseus, having slain the monster to which the daughter of Cepheus had been exposed, washed off his blood there.
§4.35.10ὕδωρ δὲ ἀπὸ πηγῶν ἀνερχόμενον μέλαν ἰδὼν οἶδα ἐν Ἀστύροις· τὰ δὲ Ἄστυρα ἀπαντικρὺ Λέσβου λουτρά ἐστι θερμὰ ἐν τῷ Ἀταρνεῖ καλουμένῳ.
And I know that I have seen black water coming up from springs in Astyra; and Astyra is a hot bath opposite Lesbos, in the place called Atarneus.
τὸ δὲ χωρίον ἐστὶν ὁ Ἀταρνεὺς ὁ Χίων μισθός, ὃν παρὰ τοῦ Μήδου λαμβάνουσιν ἄνδρα ἐκδόντες ἱκέτην, Πακτύην τὸν Λυδόν.
This place, Atarneus, was the reward of the Chians, which they received from the Mede for giving up a suppliant, Pactyes the Lydian.
τοῦτο μὲν δὴ μελαίνεται, Ῥωμαίοις δὲ ὑπὲρ τὴν πόλιν, διαβάντων τὸν Ἄνιον ὀνομαζόμενον ποταμόν, ὕδωρ λευκόν ἐστιν· ἀνδρὶ δὲ ἐσβάντι ἐς αὐτὸ τὸ μὲν παραυτίκα ψυχρόν τε πρόσεισι καὶ ἐμποιεῖ φρίκην, ἐπισχόντι δὲ ὀλίγον ἅτε φάρμακον θερμαίνει τὸ πυρωδέστατον.
This water indeed is black; but for the Romans above the city, when they have crossed the river called Anio, there is white water; and to a man who enters it, at first it feels cold and causes a shiver, but when he has waited a little, it warms him in the most fiery manner, like medicine.
§4.35.11καὶ ὅσαις μὲν πηγαῖς θαῦμά τι ἦν καὶ ἰδόντι, τοσαύτας θεασάμενος οἶδα, τὰς γὰρ δὴ ἐλάσσονος θαύματος ἐπιστάμενος παρίημι·
And as many springs as had some wonder even for one who saw them, so many I know I have beheld; for those of lesser wonder, though I know of them, I pass over.
ἁλμυρὸν δὲ ὕδωρ καὶ στρυφνὸν οὐ μέγα θαῦμα ἐξευρεῖν. δύο δὲ ἀλλοῖα·
To find salty and astringent water is no great wonder; but there are two of a different kind.
τὸ μὲν τῆς Καρίας ἐν πεδίῳ καλουμένῳ Λευκῷ θερμόν ἐστιν ὕδωρ παρὰ κώμην ὀνομαζομένην Δασκύλου, πιεῖν καὶ γάλακτος ἥδιον·
One in Caria, in the plain called White, is hot water near a village named after Dascylus, sweeter to drink than even milk.
τὸν δὲ Ἡρόδοτον οἶδα εἰπόντα ὡς ἐς τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν Ὕπανιν ἐκδίδωσιν ὕδατος πικροῦ πηγή. πῶς δʼ ἂν οὐκ ἀποδεξαίμεθα ἀληθεύειν αὐτῷ τὸν λόγον, ὅπου γε καὶ ἐφʼ ἡμῶν ἐν Δικαιαρχίᾳ τῇ Τυρρηνῶν ἐξεύρηται ὕδωρ σφίσι θερμὸν οὕτω δή τι ὀξὺ ὥστε τὸν μόλυβδον—διεξῄει γὰρ διὰ μολύβδου ῥέον —ἔτεσι κατέτηξεν οὐ πολλοῖς;
And I know that Herodotus said that a spring of bitter water empties into the river Hypanis; and how should we not accept that his account is true, seeing that even in our own time at Dicaearchia in the land of the Tyrrhenians, hot water for them has been found, which is so acidic that it dissolved lead—for it passed through flowing in lead—in not many years?
