Unterdessen schwebten die Korinther, weil Potidäa
abgefallen war und die Athenischen Schiffe sich in den makedonishcen
Gewässern befanden, wegen jenes Platzes in Furcht, und da sie die
Gefahr als ihre eigene betrachteten, so schickten sie aus ihrer Stadt
Freiwillige und Söldlinge aus dem übrigen Peloponnes, im Ganzen
sechzehnhundert Schwerbewaffnete und vierhundert Leichtbewaffnete,
ab. Anführer war Aristeus, des Adeimantos Sohn, und vorzüglich
aus Freundschaft für diesen hatten sich die meisten korinthischen
Freiwilligen angeschlossen, denn er stand von jeher mit den Potidäern in
genauer Verbindung. Vierzig Tage nach dem Abfall Potidäa's
landeten diese an der Küste des Thrakischen Gränzgebietes.

[1] In the meantime after Potidaea was revolted, and whilst the Athenian fleet lay on the coast of Macedonia, the Corinthians, fearing what might become of the city and making the danger their own, sent unto it, both of their own city and of other Peloponnesians which they hired, to the number of sixteen hundred men of arms and four hundred light armed.

[2] The charge of these was given to Aristeus the son of Adimantus, for whose sake most of the volunteers of Corinth went the voyage: for he had been ever a great favourer of the Potidaeans.

[3] And they arrived in Thrace after the revolt of Potidaea forty days.

[1] Meanwhile the Corinthians, with Potidaea in revolt, and the Athenian ships on the coast of Macedonia , alarmed for the safety of the place, and thinking its danger theirs, sent volunteers from Corinth , and mercenaries from the rest of Peloponnese , to the number of sixteen hundred heavy infantry in all, and four hundred light troops.

[2] Aristeus, son of Adimantus, who was always a steady friend to the Potidaeans, took command of the expedition, and it was principally for love of him that most of the men from Corinth volunteered.

[3] They arrived in Thrace forty days after the revolt of Potidaea .

Jetzt aber, wo Potidäa abgefallen und die athenische
Flotte in den makedonishcen Gewässern erschienen war, wurden
die Korinther um die Stadt denn doch besorgt, und da sie
darin auch eine Gefahr für sich selbst erblickten, schickten auch
sie Truppen dahin, teils korinthische Freiwillige, teils Ge
worbene aus den übrigen peloponnesischen Staaten, im ganzen
sechzehnhundert Hopliten und vierhundert Leichtbewaffnete.
Den Oberbefehl führte Aristeus, Adeimantos' Sohn, und be
sonders ihm zuliebe, der von jeher ein guter Freund der Poti
däer gewesen, hatten die meisten Freiwilligen aus Korinth
sich gemeldet. Vierzig Tage nach dem Abfall von Potidäa
kamen sie an der thrakischen Küste an.

LX. Sur ces entrefaites, les Corinthiens, instruits de la défection de Potidée et de la présence des vaisseaux athéniens sur les côtes de la Macédoine, conçurent des craintes pour cette ville. Préoccupés de ses dangers comme s’ils leur étaient personnels, ils y envoyèrent seize cents hoplites et quatre cents hommes de troupes légères, soit volontaires de Corinthe, soit mercenaires levés dans le reste du Péloponnèse. A leur tête était Aristée, fils d’Adimantos ; la plupart des volontaires corinthiens l’avaient suivi surtout par affection pour sa personne, et lui-même avait été choisi à cause de l’amitié toute particulière qu’il avait toujours eue pour les Potidéates. Ils arrivèrent dans le pays quarante jours après la défection de Potidée.

Lorsque les Corinthiens apprirent la révolte de Potidée et la présence d’une flotte athénienne dans les eaux de la Macédoine, ils conçurent des craintes au sujet de leur colonie , et, se regardant comme également menacés, ils y firent passer seize cents hoplites et quatre cents peltastes ¹, composés de volontaires de Corinthe et de soldats recrutés à prix d’argent dans le reste du Péloponèse. A la tête de ces troupes était Aristéus, fils d’Adimantos, dévoué de tout temps aux Potidéates. Ce fut par affection pour ce chef que la plupart des volontaires de Corinthe le suivirent. Cette armée fut rendue sur les côtes de Thrace quaraute jours après la révolte de Potidée.

[1] Thereupon the Corinthians, seeing that Potidaea had revolted and the Attic ships were in the neighbourhood of Macedonia, were alarmed about the place and thinking that the danger came home to them, dispatched volunteers of their own and such other Peloponnesians as they induced by pay, in all sixteen hundred hoplites and four hundred light-armed troops. The general in command was Aristeus son of Adimantus;

[2] and it was chiefly because of friendship for him that most of the soldiers from Corinth went along as volunteers; for he had always been on friendly terms with the Potidaeans.

[3] And they arrived on the coast of Thrace on the fortieth day after the revolt of Potidaea.

[1] And at this time, when Potidaea had revolted and the Athenian ships were cruising about Macedonia, the Corinthians, being alarmed for the place, and considering the danger to affect themselves, sent volunteers of their own people and mercenaries of the rest of the Peloponnesians, sixteen hundred heavy-armed in all and four hundred light-armed.

[2] Their general was Aristeus, the son of Adimantus; and it was from friendship for him especially that most of the soldiers from Corinth joined the expedition as volunteers; for he was always favourably disposed towards the Potidaeans.

[3] And they arrived in Thrace the fortieth day after Potidaea had revolted.

[1] Inter haec Corinthii, quum Potidaeadescivisset, et Atticae naves circa Macedoniam essent, illi oppido timentes, et domesticum existimantes periculum, mittunt cum de suis voluntarios, tum etiam de ceteris Peloponnesiis mercede conductos mille et sexcentos omnino gravis armaturae milites, et quadringentos levis armaturae.

[2] Illis autem praeerat Aristeus Adimanti filius , et propter ejus amicitiam potissimum plurimi voluntarii milites Corintho eum secuti sunt; semper enim Potidattiarum studiosus erat.

[3] Et quadragesimo dic quam Polidaea defecerat, in Thraciam pervenerunt. -

In questo mezzo i Corintii ribellatasi già Potidea, e le navi attiche essendo intorno alla Macedonia , temettero per quella città ; e riguardandone come proprio il pericolo, tra' volontarii de' loro ed altri Peloponnesi invitati col soldo, vi spediscono in tutti milleseicento di grave armatura e quattrocento di truppa leggera, condotti da Aristeo figliolo di Adimanto che era mai sempre stato benevolo ai Potideati; e l’amicizia per lui mosse sopra tutto i Corintii a seguirlo di buona voglia. Essi giungono in Tracia quaranta giorni dopo la ribellione di Potidea.
