Die dreißig Schiffe der Athener kamen nun in die
Thrakischen Gewässer und fanden Potidäa und die andern Plätze bereits
abgefallen, und da es die Anführer für unmöglich hielten, mit der
ihnen zu Gebote stehenden Macht den Perdikkas und die abgefallenen
Städte zugleich zu bekämpfen, so wandten sie sich gegen Makedonien,
wozu sie auch anfänglich ausgeschickt worden waren, und nachdem sie ¹
eine feste Stellung genommen, begannen sie den Krieg in Gemeinschaft
mit Philippos und den Brüdern des Derdas, welche aus dem
Inneren mit Heeresmacht zur Küste gekommen waren.

[1] The Athenian galleys, when they arrived in Thrace, found Potidaea and the other cities already revolted.

[2] And the commanders of the fleet, conceiving it to be impossible, with their present forces, to make war both against Perdiccas and the towns revolted, set sail again for Macedonia, against which they had been at first sent out, and there staying, joined with Philip and the brothers of Derdas that had invaded the country from above.

[1] The thirty ships of the Athenians, arriving before the Thracian places, found Potidaea and the rest in revolt.

[2] Their commanders considering it to be quite impossible with their present force to carry on war with Perdiccas, and with the confederate towns as well, turned to Macedonia , their original destination, and having established themselves there, carried on war in co-operation with Philip, and the brothers of Derdas, who had invaded the country from the interior.

Inzwischen langten die dreißig athenischen Schiffe an der
thrakischen Küste an und fanden Potidäa und die anderen
Orte bereits abgefallen. Die Feldherren hielten es aber nicht
für möglich, mit den vorhandenen Kräften den Krieg zugleich
gegen Perdikkas und die abgefallenen Orte zu führen. Sie
wandten sich deshalb nach Makedonien, wo sie landeten und
in Gemeinschaft mit Philipp und Derdas'Brüdern, die mit ihren
Scharen aus dem Inneren nach Makedonien eingefallen waren,
die Feindseligkeiten eröffneten.

LIX. Cependant les trente vaisseaux athéniens, en arrivant sur les côtes de l’Épithrace, trouvent Potidée et les autres villes en pleine révolte.

Cependant les trente vaisseaux d’Athènes arrivent sur les côtes de Thrace et trouvent Potidée, ainsi que les places voisines, en pleine insurrection. Les généraux, ne se croyant pas en mesure, avec les forces dont ils disposaient, de combattre à la fois Perdiccas et les villes révoltées, se tournèrent contre la Macédoine, premier but de leur expédition, et tendirent la main à Philippe et aux frères de Derdas, qui de l’intérieur avaient envahi la Macédoine.

[1] But when the thirty ships of the Athenians reached the coast of Thrace, they found Potidaea and the other places already in revolt.

[2] Whereupon the generals, thinking it impossible with their present force to wage war with both Perdiccas and the places which had revolted, turned their attention to Macedonia, which was their destination at the start, and when they had got a foothold carried on war in concert with Philip and the brothers of Derdas, who had already invaded Macedonia from the interior with an army.

[2] Duces vero existimantes se cum praesentibus copiis non posse simul gerere bellum et adversus Perdiccam, et civitates, quae defecerant, in Macedoniam, quo etiam ante missi erant, se converterunt, et ibi consistentes una cum Philippo et Derdoe fratribus, qui ex locis mediterraneis cum exercitu irruperant, bellum gerebant.

Le trenta navi ateniesi giunte in Tracia, trovano Potidea e gli altri luoghi già ribellati.

Giunti colà uniscono le loro colle armi di Filippo e de’ fratelli di Derda, i quali coll' esercito vi erano penetrati dalla parte di terra.
