Als Delion am siebzehnten Tage nach der Schlacht
genommen war, und nicht lange danach wieder der Herold der Athener
der Todten wegen kam, jedoch in Unkenntniß dessen, was sich ereignet
hatte, antworteten die Böoter nicht mehr wie das erstemal, sondern
gaben die Todten heraus. Es waren aber von den Böotern in der
Schlacht etwas unter fünfhundert gefallen, von den Athenern
hingegen etwas unter tausend und darunter Hippokrates, ihr Feldherr,
dazu aber noch eine große Zahl Leichtbewaffneter und vom Troß.

Kurz nach dieser Schlacht unternahm Demotshenes, da ihm sein
Seezug zum Zwecke der Uebernahme von Siphä nicht nach Wunsch
ausgegangen war, mit einem Heere von Akarnanern und Agräern und
vierhundert athenischen Schwerbewaffneten eine Landung der Flotte
auf das Gebiet von Sikyon. Noch eh' aber sämmtliche Schiffe landen
konnten, eilten die Sikyonier zur Abwehr herbei, schlugen die
Gelandeten in die Flucht und verfolgten sie bis zu ihren Schiffen. Eine
Anzahl von ihnen tödteten sie, Andere nahmen sie lebend gefangen.
Dann errichteten sie ein Siegeszeichen und gaben unter einem
Waffenstillstände jenen ihre Todten heraus.

Ungefähr in denselben Tagen, als bei Delion geschlagen wurde,
verlor auch der Odryserkönig Sitalkes, auf einem Feldzuge gegen die
Triballer in einer Schlacht besiegt, sein Leben. SeutheS, des
Sparadokos Sohn, sein Neffe brüderlihcerseits, wurde nun König über die
Odryser und das übrige Thrakien, das auch jener beherrscht hatte.

[1] Delium thus taken on the seventeenth day after the battle, and the herald, which not long after was sent again about the fetching away of the dead, not knowing it, the Boeotians let him have them, and answered no more as they had formerly done.

[2] In the battle there died Boeotians few less than five hundred; the Athenians few less than a thousand, with Hippocrates the general; but of light-armed soldiers and such as carried the provisions of the army, a great number.

[3] Not long after this battle, Demosthenes, that had been with his army at Siphae, seeing the treason succeeded not, having aboard his galleys his army of Acarnanians and Agraeans and four hundred men of arms of Athens, landed in Sicyonia. But before all his galleys came to shore, the Sicyonians, who went out to defend their territory, put to flight such as were already landed and chased them back to their galleys, having also slain some and taken some alive.

[4] And when they had erected a trophy, they gave truce to the Athenians for the fetching away of their dead.

[5] About the time that these things passed at Delium, died Sitalces, king of the Odrysians, overcome in battle in an expedition against the Triballians. And Seuthes, the son of Spardocus, his brother's son, succeeded him in the kingdom, both of the Odrysians and of the rest of Thrace as much as was before subject to Sitalces.

[1] Soon after the fall of Delium , which took place seventeen days after the battle, the Athenian herald, without knowing what had happened, came again for the dead, which were now restored by the Boeotians, who no longer answered as at first.

[2] Not quite five hundred Boeotians fell in the battle, and nearly one thousand Athenians, including Hippocrates the general, besides a great number of light troops and camp followers.

[3] Soon after this battle Demosthenes, after the failure of his voyage to Siphae and of the plot on the town, availed himself of the Acarnanian and Agraean troops and of the four hundred Athenian heavy infantry which he had on board, to make a descent on the Sicyonian coast.

[4] Before however all his ships had come to shore, the Sicyonians came up and routed and chased to their ships those that had landed, killing some and taking others prisoners; after which they set up a trophy, and gave back the dead under truce.

[5] About the same time with the affair of Delium took place the death of Sitalces, king of the Odrysians, who was defeated in battle, in a campaign against the TribalIi; Seuthes, son of Sparadocus, his nephew, succeeding to the kingdom of the Odrysians, and of the rest of Thrace ruled by Sitalces.

Als Delion siebzehn Tage nach der Schlacht genommen
war und der Herold der Athener, der noch nichts davon
wußte, bald nachher der Toten wegen wiederkam, beschieden
ihn die Böotier nicht wie daS erstemal, sondern gaben die
Toten heraus. Auf seiten der Böotier waren in der Schlacht
nicht ganz fünfhundert gefallen, Athener nahezu tausend, darunter
Hippokrates, ihr Feldherr, dazu eine große Zahl Leichtbewaff
neter und Troßknechte.

Kurz nach dieser Schlacht fuhr Demosthenes, dem sein Plan,
Siphai durch Verrat zu nehmen, damals mit der Flotte nicht
gelungen war, mit Akarnaniern, Agraiern und vierhundert
athenischen Hopliten an Bord nach Sikyon und versuchte im
dortigen Gebiete eine Landung. Noch bevor alle Schiffe an
gekommen waren, erschienen jedoch die Sikyoner auf dem
Plan, schlugen die bereits Gelandeten in die Flucht und ver
folgten sie an die Schiffe, wobei sie eine Anzahl töteten,
andere gefangennahmen. Darauf errichteten sie ein Sieges
zeichen und gaben die Toten unter Waffenstillstand heraus.
In den Tagen der Kämpfe bei Delion erlitt auch der Odrysen-
könig Sitalkes auf einem Zuge gegen die Triballer eine
Niederlage und kam dabei ums Leben. Sein Neffe Seuthes,
Sparadokos' Sohn, folgte ihm als König der Odrysen und
seines thrakischen Reichs.

CI. Délium fut pris dix-sept jours après le premier combat. Le héraut des Athéniens, ne sachant rien de cet événement, revint peu de temps après réclamer une seconde fois les morts¹. Les Béotiens les rendirent et ne firent plus la même réponse².

Le nombre des morts, dans le combat, fut d’un peu moins de cinq cents du côté des Béotiens ; les Athéniens perdirent un peu moins de mille hommes, parmi lesquels Hippocrates, leur général, sans compter les troupes légères et nombre de gens préposés aux bagages.

Peu de temps après ce combat, Démosthènes, à qui la non réussite de son coup de main sur Siphé laissait la libre disposition d’une flotte montée par quatre cents hoplites, soit Acarnanes, soit Agréens et Athéniens, opéra une descente sur le territoire de Sicyone. Mais, avant que tous les bâtiments eussent abordé, les Sicyoniens accoururent, mirent en fuite ceux qui étaient descendus et les poursuivirent jusqu’à leurs vaisseaux ; ils en tuèrent une partie, firent des prisonniers, élevèrent un trophée et rendirent les morts par convention. Vers le même temps, à l’époque de l’affaire de Délium, mourut Sitalcès, roi des Odryses, vaincu et tué dans une ex- pédition contre les Triballes. Son neveu, Seuthès, fils de Sparadocus, régna sur les Odryses et sur le reste de la Thrace soumise à la domination de Sitalcès.

Délion fut pris dix-sept jours après la bataille. Le héraut athénien, sans rien savoir de ce qui s’était passé, revint peu de temps après pour demander les morts. Cette fois les Béotiens ne firent plus difficulté pour les rendre. Leur perte dans le combat fut d’un peu moins de cinq cents hommes; celle des Athéniens de mille, parmi lesquels Hippocratès leur général, sans compter bon nombre de valets et de soldate armés à la légère.

Quelque temps après, Démosthène, qui avait échoué dans son entreprise sur Siphæ où l’on avait pratiqué des intelligences, fit une descente en Sicyonie avec des Acarnaniens, des Agréens, et quatre cents hoplites d’Athènes. Mais, avant que touslesbâti-ments eussent touché terre, les Sicyoniens accoururent et mirent en fuite les soldats débarqués. Ils les poursuivirent jusqu’à la rade, en tuèrent plusieurs et en prirent d’autres vivants. Sur quoi ils dressèrent un trophée et rendirent les morts par composition.

Pendant le siège de Délion, Sitalcès roi des Odryses trouva la mort dans une expédition contre les Triballiens, où son armée fut défaite. Son neveu Seuthès, fils de Spardacos, devint alors roi des Odryses et de tous les pays de Thrace sur lesquels s’étendait la domination de son oncle.

[1] So Delium was taken seventeen days after the battle, and when the Athenian herald, who knew nothing of what had happened, came back not long after to ask for the dead, the Boeotians did not again make the same answer but gave them up.

[2] And there were slain in the battle, of the Boeotians a little more than five hundred, of the Athenians a little less than one thousand, including Hippocrates their general, besides a great number of light-armed troops and baggage-carriers.

[3]
Not long after this battle Demosthenes, since he had failed in his negotiations about the betrayal of Siphae, when he sailed thither at the time mentioned above,¹ took on his ships his force of Acarnanians and Agraeans and four hundred Athenian hoplites and made a descent upon the territory of Sicyon.

[4] But before all his ships had come to shore the Sicyonians came to the rescue, and routing those who had disembarked pursued them to their ships, killing some and taking others alive.

[5] Then setting up a trophy they gave up the dead under truce.
Sitalces,² too, king of the Odrysians, was killed about the same time as the events at Delium, having made an expedition against the Triballi,³ who defeated him in battle. Seuthes⁴ son of Sparadocus, his nephew, now became king of the Odrysians and of the rest of Thrace over which Sitalces had reigned.

[1] Delium having thus been taken on the fifteenth day after the battle, and the Athenian herald, without knowing any thing that had happened, having soon after come again respecting the bodies, the Boeotians restored them, and no longer made the same answer as before.

[2] There fell in the engagement, of the Boeotians, not quite five hundred; of the Athenians, not quite a thousand, and Hippocrates the general; but of light-armed and camp-followers a great number.

[3]

A short time after this battle, Demosthenes, having had no success with regard to Siphae being betrayed to him, when he sailed thither at that time, and having still on board his ships the Acarnanian and Agraean forces, with four hundred Athenian heavy-armed, made a descent on the territory of

[4] Sicyon. But before all his ships reached the shore, the Sicyonians came against them, and routed those that had landed, and drove them back to their vessels, killing some, and taking others prisoners. Having erected a trophy, they restored the dead under

[5] truce. It was also about the same time as the affair at Delium, that Sitalces, king of the Odrysse, died, after making an expedition against the Triballi, and being defeated in battle; and Seuthes son of Sparadocus, his nephew, succeeded to the kingdom of the Odrysae, and the other parts of Thrace, over which Sitalces had reigned.

[1] Quum autem decimo septimo die a pugna commissa Delium captum esset, et caduceator Atheniensis rerum gestarum prorsus ignarus non mullo post iterum venisset caesorum causa, Boeoti eos reddiderunt, nec amplius idem quod ante responderunt.

[2] In illa autem pugna perierunt ex Boeotis quidem paulo pauciores quam quingenti, ex Atheniensibus vero paulo pauciores quam mille, et Hippocrates eorum imperator; levis armaturae autem et lixarum magnus numerus.

[3] Post hanc pugnam etiam Demosthenes paulo post, quum ipsi tunc, ut dixi, de Sipharum proditione res non successisset, cum Acarnanum et Agraeorum exercitu et Atheniensium quadringentis gravis armaturae militibus, quos in sua classe habebat, egressus est in agrum Sicyonium .

[4] Et priusquam omnes ejus naves eo appulissent, Sicyonii ad sua tutanda celeriter profecti, eos, qui in terram egressi erant, fugaverunt et ad naves usque perse- cuti sunt, et eorum alios interfecerunt, alios vivos ceperunt. Et tropaeo erecto caesos suis pace sequestra reddiderunt.

[5] Sub eosdem dies,quibus res ad Delium gesi* sunt, Sitalces etiam Odrysarum rex, quum bellum TribaOis in tulisset, et proelio victus esset, excessit vita. Seuthes vero Sparadoci filius, qui erat ipsius ex fratre nepos, Odrysarum, et ceterae Thraciae, cui et ille imperaverat regnum obtinuit.

Dalla battaglia alla espugnazione di Delio erano corsi diciassette giorni ; e poco dopo il messaggio degli Ateniesi ignaro del fatto ritornò pei cadaveri, cui i Beoni restituirono senza più fare la medesima risposta. Nel coni' battimento d’Oropia mancarono poco meno di cinquecento Beozii, Ateniesi forse mille col generale Ippocrate, e gran numero di genti leggere e di saccardi. Poco^ tempo dopo questa battaglia Demostene, che non era riuscito in questi sua navigazione a prendere Sifa per tradimento, avendo sulla sua flotta una truppa di quattrocento soldati gravi tra Acamani, Agrei e Ateniesi, fece scala sulla coda di Sicione. Ma prima che approdasse tutta la flotta i Skionesi, corsi all’incontro di quelli che erano già smontati, li misero in fuga e li perseguirono fino alle navi, uccidendone alcuni, altri prendendone vivi : ed erettovi trofeo restituirono i cadaveri con salvocondotto. Circa i medesimi giorni dei fatti di Delio, Sitalce re degli Odrisii »or» in una battaglia perduta nella sua spedizione contro i Tribali i ; e Seute di Sparadoco suo nipote regnò sugli Odrisi e sull’altra porzione di Tracia stata soggetta al dominio di esso.
