§16.6.1οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ παρὰ πολὺ τοῦ δεξιοῦ κέρατος κατακρατούντων τῶν περὶ τὸν Ἄτταλον, καὶ συνεγγιζόντων ἤδη πρὸς τὰς νησίδας ὑφʼ αἷς ὁ Φίλιππος ὥρμει καραδοκῶν τὸ συμβησόμενον, §16.6.2συνιδὼν Ἄτταλος μίαν πεντήρη τῶν ἰδίων ἐκτὸς τοῦ κινδύνου τετρωμένην καὶ βαπτιζομένην ὑπὸ νεὼς πολεμίας, ὥρμησε παραβοηθήσων ταύτῃ μετὰ δύο τετρήρων.
Nevertheless, as Attalus and his men were by far getting the upper hand over the right wing and were already approaching the small islands under which Philip was lying at anchor, watching for what would happen, Attalus, seeing one of his own quinqueremes damaged and sinking by an enemy ship outside the main sphere of danger, rushed to its assistance with two quadriremes.
§16.6.3τοῦ δὲ πολεμίου σκάφους ἐγκλίναντος καὶ ποιουμένου τὴν ἀποχώρησιν ὡς πρὸς τὴν γῆν, ἐπέκειτο φιλοτιμότερον, ἐγκρατὴς γενέσθαι σπουδάζων τῆς νεώς.
And as the enemy vessel turned away and made its retreat towards the land, he pressed on all the more eagerly, striving to make himself master of the ship.
§16.6.4ὁ δὲ Φίλιππος, συνθεασάμενος ἀπεσπασμένον πολὺ τὸν Ἄτταλον ἀπὸ τῶν ἰδίων, παραλαβὼν τέτταρας πεντήρεις καὶ τρεῖς ἡμιολίας, ἔτι δὲ τῶν λέμβων τοὺς ἐγγὺς ὄντας, ὥρμησε, καὶ διακλείσας τὸν Ἄτταλον ἀπὸ τῶν οἰκείων νεῶν ἠνάγκασε μετὰ μεγάλης ἀγωνίας εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐκβαλεῖν τὰ σκάφη.
But Philip, observing that Attalus was separated at a great distance from his own men, took four quinqueremes and three hemioliae, as well as those of the lembi that were nearby, and rushed forth; having cut Attalus off from his own ships, he forced him in great anxiety to run his vessels aground.
§16.6.5τούτου δὲ συμβάντος αὐτὸς μὲν ὁ βασιλεὺς μετὰ τῶν πληρωμάτων εἰς τὰς Ἐρυθρὰς ἀπεχώρησε, τῶν δὲ πλοίων καὶ τῆς βασιλικῆς κατασκευῆς ἐγκρατὴς ὁ Φίλιππος ἐγένετο.
When this happened, the king himself with his crews retreated to Erythrae, while Philip became master of the vessels and the royal baggage.
§16.6.6καὶ γὰρ ἐποίησάν τι τεχνικὸν ἐν τούτοις τοῖς καιροῖς οἱ περὶ τὸν Ἄτταλον· τὰ γὰρ ἐπιφανέστατα τῆς βασιλικῆς κατασκευῆς ἐπὶ τὸ κατάστρωμα τῆς νεὼς ἐξέβαλον.
For Attalus and his men performed a clever trick at this juncture: they threw out the most splendid of the royal belongings upon the deck of the ship.
§16.6.7ὅθεν οἱ πρῶτοι τῶν Μακεδόνων, συνάψαντες ἐν τοῖς λέμβοις, συνθεασάμενοι ποτηρίων πλῆθος καὶ πορφυρῶν ἱματίων καὶ τῶν τούτοις παρεπομένων σκευῶν, ἀφέμενοι τοῦ διώκειν ἀπένευσαν ἐπὶ τὴν τούτων ἁρπαγήν.
Hence the foremost of the Macedonians, coming alongside in their lembi and beholding a multitude of drinking cups, purple garments, and the utensils accompanying them, abandoned the pursuit and turned aside to plunder these things.
§16.6.8διὸ συνέβη τὸν Ἄτταλον ἀσφαλῆ ποιήσασθαι τὴν ἀποχώρησιν εἰς τὰς Ἐρυθράς.
Wherefore it came about that Attalus made his retreat in safety to Erythrae.
§16.6.9Φίλιππος δὲ τοῖς μὲν ὅλοις ἠλαττωμένος παρὰ πολὺ τὴν ναυμαχίαν, τῇ δὲ περιπετείᾳ τῇ κατὰ τὸν Ἄτταλον ἐπαρθείς, ἐπανέπλει, καὶ πολὺς ἦν συναθροίζων τὰς σφετέρας ναῦς καὶ παρακαλῶν τοὺς ἄνδρας εὐθαρσεῖς εἶναι, διότι νικῶσι τῇ ναυμαχίᾳ·
But Philip, though on the whole heavily defeated in the sea fight, yet elated by the unexpected turn of fortune concerning Attalus, sailed back and was very active in collecting his own ships and encouraging his men to be of good cheer, on the ground that they were victorious in the naval battle.
§16.6.10καὶ γὰρ ὑπέδραμέ τις ἔννοια καὶ πιθανότης τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ὡς ἀπολωλότος τοῦ βασιλέως Ἀττάλου διὰ τὸ κατάγειν τοὺς περὶ τὸν Φίλιππον ἀναδεδεμένους τὴν βασιλικὴν ναῦν.
For indeed, a certain belief and appearance of probability stole upon the men that King Attalus had perished, because Philip's men were towing away the royal flagship which they had taken in tow.
§16.6.11ὁ δὲ Διονυσόδωρος ὑπονοήσας τὸ περὶ τὸν αὑτοῦ βασιλέα γεγονός, ἥθροιζε τὰς οἰκείας ναῦς ἐξαίρων σύνθημα· ταχὺ δὲ συλλεχθεισῶν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπέπλει μετʼ ἀσφαλείας εἰς τοὺς κατὰ τὴν Ἀσίαν ὅρμους.
But Dionysodorus, suspecting what had happened to his own king, collected his own ships by raising a signal; and when they had quickly gathered to him, he sailed away in safety to the harbors on the Asian coast.
§16.6.12κατὰ δὲ τὸν αὐτὸν καιρὸν οἱ πρὸς τοὺς Ῥοδίους ἀγωνιζόμενοι τῶν Μακεδόνων, πάλαι κακῶς πάσχοντες, ἐξέλυον αὑτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ κινδύνου μετὰ προφάσεως κατὰ μέρη ποιούμενοι τὴν ἀποχώρησιν, ὡς ταῖς οἰκείαις σπεύδοντες ἐπικουρῆσαι ναυσίν.
At the same time, those of the Macedonians who were fighting against the Rhodians, having long been in a bad plight, began to extricate themselves from the danger by retreating in separate detachments under the pretext of hastening to the aid of their own ships.
§16.6.13οἱ δὲ Ῥόδιοι, τὰς μὲν ἀναδησάμενοι τῶν νεῶν, τὰς δὲ προδιαφθείραντες ταῖς ἐμβολαῖς, ἀπέπλευσαν εἰς τὴν Χίον.
The Rhodians, having taken some of the ships in tow and destroyed others beforehand by ramming, sailed away to Chios.
