sene Vertrag erloshcen und galt nur noch für die Tage des Pythischen
Festes'). Noch während des Waffenstillstandes hatten die Athener
die Delier von ihrer Insel abziehen heißen, weil sie dieselben irgend
einer alten Schuld wegen nicht für rein genug hielten, dem Gotte
geweiht zu bleiben. Dieß, dachten sie, fehle noch zu jener
Reinigung, bei der sie mit Wegschaffung der Todtenfärge genug gethan zu
haben glaubten, wie ich früher erzählt habe 2). Die Delier nun
siedelten sich, sowie Einer nach dem Andern von dort ausgebrochen
war, in Atramyttion in Asien an, welches ihnen Pharnakes
angewiesen hatte.

[1] The summer following, the truce for a year, which was to last till the Pythian holidays, expired. During this truce, the Athenians removed the Delians out of Delos, because [though they were consecrated, yet] for a certain crime committed of old they esteemed them polluted persons; because also they thought there wanted this part to make perfect the purgation of the island, in the purging whereof, as I declared before, they thought they did well to take up the sepulchres of the dead. These Delians seated themselves afterwards, every one as he came, in Adramyttium in Asia, a town given unto them by Pharnaces.

[1] The next summer the truce for a year ended, after lasting until the Pythian games. During the armistice the Athenians expelled the Delians from Delos , concluding that they must have been polluted by some old offense at the time of their consecration, and that this had been the omission in the previous purification of the island, which as I have related, had been thought to have been duly accomplished by the removal of the graves of the dead. The Delians had Atramyttium in Asia given them by Pharnaces, and settled there as they removed from Delos .

Im nächsten Sommer lief der einjährige Waffenstillstand
ab, und es war wieder Krieg bis zu den Pythischen
Spielen. Noch während des Waffenstillstandes hatten die
Athener die Bewohner von Delos zur Auswanderung ge
zwungen. Sie glaubten nämlich, einer alten Schuld wegen wären
diese nicht rein genug für die Heilige Insel, und die Reinigung,
die sie, wie oben erzählt, früher ihrer Meinung nach durch
Wegschaffung der Särge der Verstorbenen richtig vorgenommen
hatten, sei insofern doch nicht genügend gewesen. Den Deliern
bot Pharnakes Atramyttion in Asien zum Wohnsitz an, und
soweit sie dazu geneigt waren, ließen sie sich dort nieder.

I. L’été suivant, le terme de la trêve d’un an avait été fixé aux jeux pythiens¹. Pendant l’armistice, les Athéniens expulsèrent de Délos les habitants de l’île : ils s’imaginaient qu’une faute déjà ancienne les ayant rendus impurs et indignes d’habiter une terre sacrée, ce complément avait manqué à la purification dont j’ai parlé plus haut², lorsque, par l’enlèvement des tombeaux des morts, ils crurent n’avoir rien laissé à faire³. Les Déliens s’établirent à Atramytion⁴, ville d’Asie, que leur donna Pharnace, et où ils furent admis à mesure qu’ils se présentèrent.

L’été suivant ¹, la trêve d’une année expirait aux jeux Pythiques². Elle durait encore lorsque les Athéniens expulsèrent de leur île les habitants de Délos, comme coupables d’un ancien délit qui, suivant eux, entachait leur caractère sacré. D’ailleurs ils trouvaient que ce point manquait encore à la purification mentionnée ci-dessus³, et pour laquelle ils avaient cru devoir enlever les tombes des morts. Les Déliens se retirèrent en Asie, à Atramyttion, que Pharnacès leur donna ⁴, et où s’établirent ceux d’entre eux qui le voulurent.

[1] The next summer the one-year's truce con-¹ tinued till, and ended with, the Pythian games.² During the suspension of arms the Athenians expelled the Delians from Delos, thinking that they had been consecrated³ while in a state of pollution from some ancient crime, and besides, that they themselves had been responsible for this defect in the purification, in which, as I have before related, they believed they had acted rightly in removing the coffins of the dead. And the Delians settled, according as each man chose,⁴ in Atramytteum in Asia, which had been given them by Pharnaces.

[1] THE following summer, the truce for a year ¹ continued till the Pythian games, and then ended. During the suspension of arms, the Athenians expelled the Delians from their island, thinking that they had been consecrated when in a state of impurity from some crime of ancient date; and, moreover, that this had been the deficiency in their former purification of it; in which case I have before explained that they considered themselves to have performed it rightly by taking up the coffins of the dead. The Delians found a residence at Atramyttium in Asia, given to them by Pharnaces, as each of them arrived there.

Atque Delii quidem Atramyttium in Asia situm, quod Pharnaces iis dedit, incoluerunt, prout quisque se eo conferre voluerat. ^

A.L sopravvenire dell’estate fallirono le tregue fermate per un anno da durare fino alle feste Pitie. In quel tanto gli Ateniesi cacciarono i Delii da Deio stimando che servissero al Nume non ancora mondi da un antico delitto, e che però fosse stata manchevole l’espiazione di quell’isola; la quale, come innanzi ho mostrato, credettero eseguita regolarmente col levare le arche de’ morti. E Farnace diede ai Delii Atramitteo nell’Asia , ove essi si stanziarono secondo l’ordine con cui ciascuno vi era andato.
