Die Korinther nun, nachdem sie ihre Rüstungen vollendet
hatten, gingen mit hundert und fünfzig Schiffen gegen Kerkyra unter
Segel. Zehn davon hatten die Eleer gestellt, zwölf die Megarer, die
Leukadier zehn, die Amprakioten siebenundzwanzig, und Eines die
Anaktorier, die Korinther selbst aber neunzig. Jede der einzelnen
Städte hatte auch ihre besonderen Anführer mitgesandt; Befehlshaber
der Korinther war nebst vier andern Xenokleides, des Euthykles Sohn.
Als sie Kerkyra gegenüber in die Nähe des Festlands gekommen
waren, warfen sie von Leukas ansegelnd bei Cheimerion ^Varlam bei
Arpitza^ im Lande der Thesproter Anker. So heißt nämlich der
Hafen, und über demselben, etwas weiter vom Meere entfernt, liegt in
dem eläatischen Bezirke von Thefprotien die Stadt Ephyra. In der
Nähe mündet der Acherusische See in's Meer. Der Acheronfluß, wel ¹²³
cher Thesprotien durchströmt, ergießt sich in diesen See und gibt ihm
auch seinen Namen. Es fließt dort auch, an der Gränze von
Thesprotien und Kestrine, der Fluß Tbyamis, und zwischen diesen beiden
Flüssen erhebt sich das Vorgebirge von Cheimerion, bei welchem
die Korinther vor Anker gingen und auf dem Festland ein Lager
schlugen.

[1] The Corinthians, when they were ready, made towards Corcyra with one hundred and fifty sail; of the Eleans ten, of the Megareans twelve, of the Leucadians ten, of the Ambraciots twenty-seven, of the Anactorians one, and ninety of their own.

[2] The commanders of these were men chosen out of the said several cities for the several parts of the fleet which they sent in, and over those of Corinth was Xenocleides the son of Euthicles with four others.

[3] After they were all come together upon the coast of the continent over against Corcyra, they sailed from Leucas and came to Chimerium in the country of Thesprotis.

[4] In this place is a haven, and above it, farther from the sea, the city of Ephyra in that part of Thesprotis which is called Elaeatis; and near into it disbogueth into the sea the lake Acherusia, and into that (having first passed through Thesprotis) the river Acheron from which it taketh the name. Also the river Thyamis runneth here, which divideth Thesprotis from Cestrine, betwixt which two rivers ariseth this promontory of Chimerium.

[5] To this part of the continent came the Corinthians and encamped.

[1] Meanwhile the Corinthians completed their preparations, and sailed for Corcyra with a hundred and fifty ships. Of these Elis furnished ten, Megara twelve, Leucas ten, Ambracia twenty-seven, Anactorium one, and Corinth herself ninety.

[2] Each of these contingents had its own admiral, the Corinthian being under the command of Xenoclides, son of Euthycles, with four colleagues.

[3] Sailing from Leucas , they made land at the part of the continent opposite Corcyra .

[4] They anchored in the harbor of Chimerium, in the territory of Thesprotis, above which, at some distance from the sea, lies the city of Ephyre, in the Elean district. By this city the Acherusian lake pours its waters into the sea. It gets its name from the river Acheron, which flows through Thesprotis, and falls into the lake. There also the river Thyamis flows, forming the boundary between Thesprotis and Kestrine; and between these rivers rises the point of Chimerium.

[5] In this part of the continent the Corinthians now came to anchor, and formed an encampment.

XLVI. « Les Corinthiens, de leur côté, après avoir terminé leurs préparatifs, firent voile vers Corcyre avec cent cinquante vaisseaux : il y en avait dix d’Élée, douze de Mégare, dix de Leucade, vingt-sept d’Ambracie, un d’Anactorium, et quatre-vingt-dix de Corinthe. Le contingent de chaque ville avait son commandant particulier ; celui des Corinthiens était Xénoclidès, fils d’Euthyclès, avec quatre collègues. La flotte, après avoir touché la côte qui regarde Corcyre, fit voile de Leucade¹ et aborda à Chimérium² dans la Thesprotide. C’est un port au-dessus duquel se trouve, à quelque distance de la mer, la ville d’Ephyre³, dans la partie de la Thespro- tide appelé Éléatide. Le lac Achérusien se jette dans la mer près de cette ville ; le fleuve Achéron⁴, après avoir arrosé la Thesprotide, coule dans ce lac et lui a donné son nom. Près de là coule aussi le fleuve Thyamis⁵, qui sépare la Thesprotide de la Cestrine, et c’est entre ces deux fleuves que s’élève le promontoire Chimérium. Les Corinthiens prirent terre en cet endroit et y établirent leur camp.

Les Corinthiens, aussitôt leurs préparatifs terminés, firent voile contre Corcyre avec cent cinquante vaisseaux, savoir, dix d’Élis, douze de Mégare, dix de Leucade, vingt-sept d’Ambracie, un d’Anactorion, et quatre-vingt-dix de Corinthe. Chacun de ces contingents avait son général particulier; les Corinthiens en avaient cinq, et entre autres Xénoclès fils d’Eu-thyclès. Partis de Leucade, ils gagnèrent le continent qui fait face à Corcyre, et allèrent mouiller à Chimérion en Thespro-tide. C’est un port au-dessus duquel se trouve, à quelque distance de la mer, une ville nommée Éphyra, appartenant à l’Éléatide, district de Thesprotide. Non loin de cette place, le lac Achérusien se décharge dans la mer. Le fleuve Achéron, après avoir traversé la Thesprotide, va se perdre dans ce lac et lui donne son nom. Un autre fleuve, le Thyamis, arrose aussi cette contrée et sépare la Thesprotide de la Cestrine. Dans l’espace compris entre ces deux fleuves, s’avance le cap Chi-mérion ¹. Ce fut sur ce point du continent que les Corinthiens’ abordèrent et qu’ils établirent un camp.

[1] These ships arrived at Corcyra, and the Corinthians, when their preparations had been made, sailed against Corcyra with one hundred and fifty ships. Of these ten belonged to the Eleans, twelve to the Megarians, ten to the Leucadians, twenty seven to the Ambraciots, one to the Anactorians, and ninety to the Corinthians themselves.

[2] The several cities had each its own general, but Xenocleides son of Euthycles and four others commanded the Corinthians.

[3] They sailed from Leucas, and when they drew near the mainland over against Corcyra, anchored at Cheimerium in the territory of Thesprotia.

[4] It is a harbour, and above it lies a city away from the sea in the Eleatic district of Thesprotia, Ephyra by name. Near it is the outlet into the sea of the Acherusian lake; and the river Acheron runs through Thesprotia and empties into the lake, to which it gives its name. There is also the river Thyamis, which separates Thesprotia and Cestrine, and between these rivers rises the promontory of Cheimerium.

[5] It was at this point of the mainland then that the Corinthians cast anchor and made a camp.

[1] But the Corinthians, when they had made their preparations, set sail against Corcyra with a hundred and fifty ships. There were ten of the Eleans, of the Megareans twelve, of the Leucadians ten, of the Ambraciots seven and twenty, of the Anactorians one, and of the Corinthians themselves ninety.

[2] In command of these there were different men for the different forces according to their states, and of the Corinthians, Xenoclides, the son of Euthycles, with four others.

[3] And when, in their course from Leucas, they made land on the continent opposite Corcyra, they came to anchor at Chimerium in the territory of Thesprotis.

[4] It ¹ is a harbour, and a city named Ephyre lies beyond it, away from the sea, in the Elean district of Thesprotis. By it the Acherusian lake empties itself into the sea; and into this lake the river Acheron, which flows through Thesprotis, empties itself; from which also it takes its name. The river Thyamis also flows there, bounding Thesprotis and Cestrine; and between these rivers the promontory of Chimerium rises.

[5] The Corinthians then came to anchor at that part of the continent, and formed their encampment.

[1] Hae igitur naves in Corcyram pervenerunt, Corinthii vero, quando quidem parati erant, cum CL navibus adversus Corcyram cursum direxerunt, quarum erant Eleorum decem, Megarensium duodecim, Leucadiorum decem, Ambraciotarum XXVII, Anactoi iorum una, ipsorum vero Corinthiorum XC.

[2] Harum vero sui praefecti quum singularum civitatum erant, tum vero Corinthiorum Xenoclides Euthyclis filius, cum quatuor collegis.

[3] Postquam autem ad continentem Corcyrae oppositam venerunt a Leucade vela facientes, ancoras jaciunt ad Chimei ium agri Thespro-tici.

[4] Est autem portus, et supra eum urbs Ephyre sita est, procul a mari, in ea agri Thesprotici parte, quae Elaeatis vocatur. Juxta hanc palus Acherusia in mare effunditur ; Acheron vero fluvius, a quo etiam cognomen est nacta, per agrum Thesproticum fluens in ipsam defertur. Fluit et Thyamis amnis, Thesprolidem Cestrinenque disterminans ; intra quos Chimerium promontorium eminet.

[5] Corinthii igitur ad istam continentis partem appulerunt, atque castra posuerunt.

Ma i Corintii quando ebbero tutto in ordine fecero vela contro Corfù con centocinquanta navi, dieci cioè de' gli Elei, dodici dei Megaresi, dieci dei Leucadii, ventisette degli Ambracioti, una degli Anattorii, e novanta proprio de’ Corintii. Ciascuna di queste città aveva il suo capitano : dei Corintii lo era Xenoclide figliolo di Euticle con quattro colleghi. Ed allorché facendo vela da Leucade ebber toccato terraferma rimpetto a Corfù, presero staziono a Chimerio della Tesprotide che presenta un porto, al di sopra del quale, un po’distante dal mare, è la città di Egira nella parte della Tesprotide chiamata Eleatide. Presso di questa mette foce nel mare il lago Acherusio il quale prende nome dal fiume Acheronte che vi si scarica scorrendo per la Tesprotide, ove pure scorre il fiume Tiami che divide la Tesprotide dalla Cestrina, tra’quali fiumi sporge il promontorio Chimerio. In questo punto adunque di terraferma approdarono i Corintii, e vi piantarono il campo.
