§16.5.1ἐπιφανέστατα δʼ ἐκινδύνευσαν τρεῖς πεντήρεις τῶν Ῥοδίων, ἥ τε ναυαρχίς, ἐφʼ ἧς ἔπλει Θεοφιλίσκος, μετὰ δὲ ταύτην ἧς ἐτριηράρχει Φιλόστρατος, τρίτη δʼ ἣν ἐκυβέρνα μὲν Αὐτόλυκος, ἐπέπλει δὲ Νικόστρατος.
Those that fought in the most distinguished manner were three quinqueremes of the Rhodians: the flagship on which Theophiliscos sailed, next after this the one of which Philostratos was trierarch, and thirdly the one which Autolycos steered and on which Nicostratos was embarked.
§16.5.2ταύτης γὰρ ἐμβαλούσης εἰς πολεμίαν ναῦν καὶ καταλιπούσης ἐν τῷ σκάφει τὸν ἔμβολον, συνέβη δὴ τὴν μὲν πληγεῖσαν αὔτανδρον καταδῦναι, τοὺς δὲ περὶ τὸν Αὐτόλυκον, εἰσρεούσης εἰς τὴν ναῦν τῆς θαλάττης διὰ τῆς πρώρρας, κυκλωθέντας ὑπὸ τῶν πολεμίων τὰς μὲν ἀρχὰς ἀγωνίζεσθαι γενναίως, §16.5.3τέλος δὲ τὸν μὲν Αὐτόλυκον ἐκπεσεῖν τρωθέντα μετὰ τῶν ὅπλων εἰς τὴν θάλατταν, τοὺς δὲ λοιποὺς ἐπιβάτας ἀποθανεῖν μαχομένους γενναίως.
For when this latter vessel rammed an enemy ship and left its ram inside her hull, it came about indeed that the stricken ship sank with all hands, while Autolycos and his men—as the sea was flowing into their ship through the prow and they were surrounded by the enemy—at first fought bravely, but in the end Autolycos, having been wounded, fell into the sea with his armor, and the remaining marines died fighting courageously.
ἐν ᾧ καιρῷ Θεοφιλίσκος, §16.5.4βοηθήσας μετὰ τριῶν πεντήρων, τὴν μὲν ναῦν οὐκ ἠδυνήθη σῶσαι διὰ τὸ πλήρη θαλάττης εἶναι, δύο δὲ ναῦς πολεμίας τρώσας τοὺς ἐπιβάτας ἐξέβαλε.
At this juncture, Theophiliscos, having come to their assistance with three quinqueremes, was unable to save the ship because it was full of water, but after disabling two enemy ships, he drove off their marines.
§16.5.5ταχὺ δὲ περιχυθέντων αὐτῷ λέμβων πλειόνων καὶ καταφράκτων νεῶν, τοὺς μὲν πλείστους ἀπέβαλε τῶν ἐπιβατῶν ἐπιφανῶς ἀγωνισαμένους,
But when more lembi and decked ships quickly swarmed around him, he lost most of his marines, who had fought with distinction.
§16.5.6αὐτὸς δὲ τρία τραύματα λαβὼν καὶ παραβόλως τῇ τόλμῃ κινδυνεύσας μόλις ἐξέσωσε τὴν ἰδίαν ναῦν ἐπιβοηθήσαντος αὐτῷ Φιλοστράτου καὶ συναναδεξαμένου τὸν ἐνεστῶτα κίνδυνον εὐψύχως.
Having himself received three wounds and hazarded his life with reckless daring, he barely saved his own ship, thanks to Philostratos who came to his aid and shared the pressing danger with high courage.
§16.5.7συνάψας δὲ τοῖς αὑτοῦ σκάφεσι πάλιν ἐξ ἄλλης ὁρμῆς συνεπλέκετο τοῖς πολεμίοις, τῇ μὲν σωματικῇ δυνάμει παραλυόμενος ὑπὸ τῶν τραυμάτων, τῇ δὲ τῆς ψυχῆς γενναιότητι λαμπρότερος ὢν καὶ παραστατικώτερος ἢ πρόσθεν.
Joining his own vessels once more, he engaged the enemy again with another onset, being disabled in physical strength by his wounds, but in the nobility of his soul being more splendid and resolute than before.
§16.5.8συνέβη δὲ δύο γενέσθαι ναυμαχίας πολὺ διεστώσας ἀλλήλων· τὸ μὲν γὰρ δεξιὸν κέρας τοῦ Φιλίππου κατὰ τὴν ἐξ ἀρχῆς πρόθεσιν ἀεὶ τῆς γῆς ὀρεγόμενον οὐ μακρὰν ἀπεῖχε τῆς Ἀσίας, §16.5.9τὸ δʼ εὐώνυμον διὰ τὸ παραβοηθῆσαι τοῖς ἐπὶ τῆς οὐραγίας ἐξ ὑποστροφῆς οὐ πολὺ τῆς Χίας ἀπέχον ἐναυμάχει τοῖς Ῥοδίοις.
Now it happened that two sea fights took place at a great distance from one another; for Philip's right wing, always making for the land according to their original intention, was not far from Asia, while the left, having turned back to bring assistance to those in the rear, was fighting the Rhodians at no great distance from Chios.
