Mindaros und die peloponnesischen Schiffe hatten sich
unterdessen in zwei Tagen aus Chios verproviantirt, wozu noch jeder
Mann drei Vierzigstel-Stücke von den Chiern erhielt, wie sie
daselbst in Gebrauch sind, und gingen am dritten Tag schnell von
Chios in See, indem sie, um den Zusammenstoß mit den Schiffen
vor Eresos zu vermeiden, nicht aus's hohe Meer hinaushielten,
sondern, Lesbos links lassend, gegen das Festland hinschifften. Auf dem
Phokäischen Gebiet landeten sie im Hasen von Karteria, nahmen hier
das Frühmahl ein, segelten dann weiter an der Küste von Kyme hin
und hielten das Spätmahl bei Argennusä auf dem Festland,
gegenüber von Mytilene. Von dort segelten sie weiter, als es noch tiefe
Nacht war, und kamen nach Harmatus am Festland, Methymne
gegenüber, wo sie das Frühmahl nahmen und dann, weiter an der
Küste hin rasch bei Lekton und Larissa und Hamaxitos und den an»
dern dortigen Städten vorüber schiffend, bei Rhoiteion, schon am
HelleSpont, etwas vor Mitternacht anlangten. Einige der Schiffe
gingen auch vor Sigeion und andern Plätzen jener Gegend vor Anker.

[1] In the meantime, Mindarus and the Peloponnesian fleet that was at Chios, when they had spent two days in victualling their galleys and had received of the Chians three Chian tessaracostes a man, on the third day put speedily off from Chios and kept far from the shore, that they might not fall amongst the galleys at Eressos.

[2] And leaving Lesbos on the left hand, went to the continent side, and putting in at a haven in Craterei, belonging to the territory of Phocaea, and there dining, passed along the territory of Cume, and came to Arginusae in the continent over against Mytilene, where they supped.

[3] From thence they put forth late in the night and came to Harmatus, a place in the continent over against Methymna; and after dinner going a great pace by Lectus, Larissa, Hamaxitus, and other the towns in those parts, came before midnight to Rhoeteium; this now is in Hellespont. But some of his galleys put in at Sigeium and other places thereabouts.

[1] In the meantime Mindarus and the Peloponnesian fleet at Chios , after taking provisions for two days and receiving three Chian pieces of money for each man from the Chians, on the third day put out in haste from the island; in order to avoid falling in with the ships at Eresus, they did not make for the open sea, but keeping Lesbos on their left, sailed for the continent.

[2] After touching at the port of Carteria, in the Phocaeid, and dining, they went on along the Cumaean coast and supped at Arginusae, on the continent over against Mitylene .

[3] From thence they continued their voyage along the coast, although it was late in the night, and arriving at Harmatus on the continent opposite Methymna , dined there; and swiftly passing Lectum, Larisa , Hamaxitus, and the neighbouring towns, arrived a little before midnight at Rhoeteum. Here they were now in the Hellespont . Some of the ships also put in at Sigeum and at other places in the neighbourhood.

Unterdessen hatte die peloponnesische Flotte unter Min
daros in Chios zwei Tage Lebensmittel eingenommen, auch
jeder Mann an Bord von den Chiern drei chiische Vierzigste!
erhalten. Am dritten Tage ging sie von Chios unter Segel,
fuhr aber nicht durch die offene See, um nicht mit den Schiffen
bei Eresos zusammenzutreffen, sondern, Lesbos zur Linken, an
der Küste des Festlandes entlang. Im Hafen von Karterioi
im Phokäischen wurde angelegt und gefrühstückt und auf der
Fahrt an der kymeischen Küste bei dem festländischen Argen
nusai, Mytilene gegenüber, zu Abend gegessen. Von da setzte
man noch in tiefer Nacht die Fahrt an der Küste fort und
kam, Methymna gegenüber, nach Harmatus am Festlande, wo
wieder gefrühstückt wurde. Dann ging es schnell weiter an
Lekton, Larissa, Hamaxitos und den anderen Orten dort vor
über, bis man kurz vor Mitternacht das schon zum Hellespont
gehörige Rhoiteion erreichte. Doch legten einige Schiffe schon
bei Sigeion oder dort in der Nähe an.

CI. Cependant Mindaros et la flotte péloponnésienne en relâche à Chio, après avoir fait des vivres pendant deux jours et levé sur les habitants trois tessaracostes de Chio par homme, partirent de Chio le troisième jour. Craignant, s’ils prenaient le large, de rencontrer la flotte d’Éressos, ils laissèrent Chio sur la gauche, se dirigèrent vers le continent et touchèrent au port de Carteries, dépendance de Phocée, où ils prirent leur premier repas. De là ils côtoyèrent le rivage de Cymé et allèrent souper aux Arginuses, sur le continent, en face de Mytilène. Ils continuèrent à ranger la côte une grande partie de la nuit, et arrivèrent à Harmatous, sur le continent, en face de Méthymne. Après le repas du matin, ils longèrent rapidement Lectos, Larissa, Hamaxitos et les autres places de ces contrées, et arrivèrent avant le milieu de la nuit à Rhoetion, qui est déjà sur l’Hellespont. Quelques vaisseaux abordèrent à Sigée et sur d’autres points de cette plage.

Cependant Mindaros et la flotte péloponésienne qui était à Ghios, après avoir rais deux jours à se procurer des vivres et reçu des Chiotes troistessaracostes¹ de Ghios par tête, appareillèrent à la hâte le troisième jour. Craignant, s’ils pre-nent le large, de rencontrer la flotte qui assiégeait Ërésos, ils laissèrent Lesbos sur la gauche ² et cinglèrent vers le continent. Ils touchèrent au port de Cartéries sur le territoire de Phocée, y prirent leur repas du matin, côtoyèrent ensuite la campagne de Cymé et allèrent souper aux Arginuses du continent³, à l’opposite de Mytilène. De là, par une nuit obscure, ils continuèrent à serrer le rivage et atteignirent Harmatonte sur le continent en face de Méthymne. Après le repas du matin, ils passèrent avec rapidité devant Lectos, Larissa , Ha-maiitos et d’autres places de ces parages, et avant minuit ils parvinrent à Rhétée, qui fait déjà partie de l’Hellespont. Quelques-uns de leurs vaisseaux prirent terre à Sigée et sur d’autres points de la côte.

[1] Meanwhile Mindarus and the Peloponnesian ships at Chios, having spent only two days in provisioning and having received from the Chians three Chian tessaracosts¹ for each man, on the third day set sail in all haste from Chios, avoiding the open sea that they might not fall in with the Athenian fleet at Eresus, but keeping Lesbos on their left, and making for the mainland.

[2] They first touched at the harbour of Cartereia in the territory of Phocaea, where they dined, and then, sailing along the Cymaean coast, supped at Arginussae² on the mainland opposite Mytilene.

[3] Thence they proceeded long before dawn along the coast until they came to Harmatus, on the mainland opposite Methymna; there they breakfasted in haste and then sailed along the coast past Lectum, Larisa, Hamaxitus and the other places in that region, arriving at Rhoeteum before midnight. Some of the ships even made harbour at Sigeium and other places in that neighbourhood.

[1] In the mean time Mindarus and the Peloponnesian ships at Chios, after being victualled for two days, and receiving from the Chians three Chian tessaracostes a man, on the third day put out with all speed from the island, not into the open sea, to avoid falling in with the fleet at Eresus, but sailing to the continent with Lesbos on their left hand.

[2] After touching at the port of Carteria, in the Phocaean territory, and dining, they proceeded along the coast of Cuma, and supped at Argennusa on the mainland, over against Mytilene.

[3] Thence they still coasted on, though it was late in the night, and arrived at Harmatus on the continent, just opposite Methymna, and after dinner passing quickly by Lectum, Larisa, Hamaxitus, and the towns in those parts, came somewhat before midnight to Rhoeteum, and so were now in the Hellespont. Some of the ships also put in at Sigeum, and other places in that neighbourhood.

[2] Et quum ad agri Phocaici portum in Carteriis situm appulissent, et prandium ibi sumpsissent, oram Cumanam praetervecti coenam instituunt in Argennusis, quae sunt in continente e regione Mytilenes.

[3] Hinc autem, quum adhuc multa nox esset, praetervecti, et ad Harmatuntem in continente e regione Methymnae sitam profecti, sumpto prandio, celeriter praetervecti Lectum et Larissam et Hamaxitum, et illic, loca perveniunt ad Rhoetium, quod est jam Hellesponti, ante mediam noctem. Nonnullae autem navium et ad Sigeum, et ad alia illius regionis loca appulerunt.

Frattanto Mindaro ed i Peloponnesi colle navi che erano a Chio, preso il foraggio per due giorni, ed avute dai Chii tre tessaracoste chie a testa, il terzo dì partirono sollecitamente da Chio, e vennero nell’alto per non incontrare la flotta ateniese ad Ereso ; e veleggiavano verso terraferma , avendo Lesbo in sulla sinistra. Ed approdati al porto di Crateree nella Focaide vi pranzarono; indi percorrendo la costa di Cuma vanno a cenare nell’Arginusse di terraferma dirimpetto a Mitilene ; e di lì essendo ancora alta la notte, giungono piaggia piaggia ad Amatunta situata in terraferma di faccia a Metimna. Poscia dietro mangiare trascorsero frettolosamente la spiaggia di Lecto, di Larissa, di Amassito e di altri luoghi di questo tratto; e prima della mezza notte arrivarono a Rezio , ove comineia T Ellesponto. Alcune di queste navi approdarono anche » Sigeo ed altrove ne?luogln di quella costiera.
