¹ Als nun Tissavhernes auch von dieser That der
Peloponnesier Nachricht erhielt, zu dem, was bereits in Milet und Knidos
geschehen war — denn auch hier waren seine Besatzungen verjagt
worden — so glaubte er, bei ihnen sehr schlecht angeschrieben zu sein,
und da er befürchtete, daß sie ihm auch sonst noch Schaden thun
möchten, und eS ihn zugleich auch sehr gekränkt hätte, wenn
PharnabazoS in der viel kürzeren Zeit, seitdem er die Peloponnesier an sich
gezogen, und mit geringerem Geldaufwand einen besseren Erfolg
gegen die Athener erzielen sollte, so entschloß er sich, zu ihnen nach
dem HelleSpont zu reisen, um sie wegen des zu AntandroS
Geschehenen zu tadeln und sich gegen die Beschuldigungen der Phönikischen
Schiffe und anderer Dinge wegen aus die möglichst glaubwürdige
Weise zu rechtfertigen. Und zuerst brachte er, zu EphesoS
angekommen, der Artemis ein Opfer ^). der Winter, der
auf diesen Sommer folgt, abgelaufen sein wird, so ist das
einundzwanzigste Jahr erfüllt^ 65). ²³

[1] Tissaphernes, hearing of this, being the act of the Peleponnesians as well as that at Miletus or that at Cnidus (for in those cities his garrisons had also been cast out in the same manner), and conceiving that he was deeply charged to them, and fearing lest they should do him some other hurt, and withal not enduring that Pharnabazus should receive them and with less time and cost speed better against the Athenians than he had done, resolved to make a journey to them in the Hellespont, both to complain of what was done at Antandros and to clear himself of his accusations the best he could, as well concerning the Phoenician fleet as other matters. And first he put in at Ephesus and offered sacrifices to Diana.

[1] Tissaphernes upon hearing of this act of the Peloponnesians in addition to what had occurred at Miletus and Cnidus, where his garrisons had been also expelled, now saw that the breach between them was serious; and fearing further injury from them, and being also vexed to think that Pharnabazus should receive them, and in less time and at less cost perhaps succeed better against Athens than he had done, determined to rejoin them in the Hellespont , in order to complain of the events at Antandros and excuse himself as best he could in the matter of the Phoenician fleet and of the other charges against him. Accordingly he went first to Ephesus and offered sacrifice to Artemis.

Als Tissaphernes nach den Erfahrungen in Milet und
Knidos, wo man seine Besatzuug ebenfalls vertrieben hatte,
nun auch noch die Nachricht von diesem neuesten Vorgehen der
Peloponnesier erhielt, glaubte er, es jetzt völlig mit ihnen ver
dorben zu haben, und fürchtete, sie könnten ihm noch weitere
Ungelegenheiten bereiten. Zudem wäre es ihm sehr wider
wärtig gewesen, wenn Pharnabazos, der sie weit schneller und
mit geringeren Kosten auf seine Seite gebracht, den Athenern
gegenüber mehr erreichen würde als er selbst. Er entschloß
sich deshalb, zu ihnen nach dem Hellespont zu reisen, um sich
über ihr Verfahren bei Antandros zu beschweren und sich
gegen die ihm wegen der phönizischen Flotte und anderweit
gemachten Vorwürfe so gut wie möglich zu verteidigen. Auch
begab er sich zunächst nach Ephesos und opferte der Artemis.
Mit Ablauf des auf diesen Sommer folgenden Winters wird
das einundzwanzigste Jahr zu Ende gehen.)

CIX. Tissaphernes, sentant que ce nouveau coup partait des Péloponnésiens, tout aussi bien que ce qui s’était passé à Milet¹ et à Cnide, d’où ses garnisons avaient également été chassées, craignit de leur être devenu tout à fait odieux et d’avoir à souffrir encore de leur hostilité. Il ne voyait pas d’ailleurs sans quelque dépit Pharnabaze, qui les entretenait depuis moins longtemps et à moins de frais, en voie de réussir mieux que lui-même dans la guerre contre les Athéniens. Il résolut donc de les aller trouver dans l’Hellespont, de se plaindre à eux de ce qui s’était passé à Antandros, et de se disculper le mieux possible reproches qui lui étaient faits au sujet de la flotte phénicienne et sur d’autres points. Il se rendit d’abord à Éphèse, et offrit un sacrifice à Diane.

Quand viendra la fin de l’hiver qui suivit cet été, la vingt et unième année de la guerre sera terminée².

Tissapherne, sentant que cette expulsion était l’ouvrage des Péloponésiens, non moins que ce qui s’était passé à Milet et à Cnide¹, dont ses garnisons avaient été pareillement chassées , les crut définitivement brouillés avec lui, et appréhenda de leur part quelque nouveau dommage. D’ailleurs il ne voyait pas sans dépit que Pharnabaze, qui les avait appelés depuis moins de temps et à moins de frais que lui, en tirât contre les Athéniens de plus grands services. Il résolut donc de les aller trouver dans l’Hellespont, afin de se plaindre des événements d’Antandros et de se disculper de son mieux au sujet de la flotte phénicienne et des autres griefs articulés contre lui. Il se rendit en premier lieu à Ëphèse, où il offrit un sacrifice à Diane.

Quand l’hiver qui suit cet été aura pris fin, la vingt et unième année de la guerre sera terminée².

[1] When Tissaphernes heard of this further act on the part of the Peloponnesians, in addition to what they had done at Miletus¹ and Cnidos,²—for there also his garrisons had been expelled-thinking that he had got into exceeding disrepute with them and fearing that they might do him some further mischief still, and at the same time because he was vexed that Pharnabazus should accept their services, and in less time and at less expense than himself be more successful in coping with the Athenians—for all these reasons he determined to go to the Hellespont and see the Peloponnesians, that he might complain of what had been done at Antandros and might also defend himself as plausibly as he could against the slanderous charges they made against him in connection with the Phoenician ships and other matters.

[2] And so he came first to Ephesus and offered sacrifice to Artemis.

[1] When Tissaphernes heard of this act also on the part of the Peloponnesians, as well as that at Miletus and that at Cnidus, (for there too his garrisons had been driven out,) considering that he must have incurred their violent displeasure, and fearing that they might do him still further mischief, and, moreover, being vexed to think that Pharnabazus, by receiving them, might in less time and at less expense be more successful in his measures against the Athenians, he determined to go to them at the Hellespont, that he might both complain of what had been done at Antandrus, and defend himself as plausibly as he could against their charges respecting the Phoenician fleet, and all other matters. Accordingly he went first to Ephesus, and offered sacrifice to Diana.

[1] Tissaphernes vero, quum sensisset, hujus quoque rei Peloponnesios auctores esse, nec earum solum, quae ia, Mileto et Cnido acciderant (nam hinc quoque ejus pnesidia erant ejecta), existimans, ingentem sibi apud eos invidiam conflatam esse, veritusque ne quo alio praeterea damno se afficerent, et simul aegre ferens, si Pharnabazus, qui minore et tempore et sumptu eos sibi adjunxisset, felicius adversus Athenienses rem gereret, proficisci parabat ad eos in Hellespontum , ut et expostularet de rebus circa Antandrum gestis, et crimina sibi objecta de Phoenissis navibus et reliquis rebus quam honestissime defenderet. Ac primum Ephesum profectus, Dianae sacrificium fecit.

Informato Tissafeme anche di questa azione dei Peloponnesi, oltre a ciò che era seguito a Mileto ed a Cnido, donde medesimamente furon cacciate vìa le sue guarnigioni , credette di esser caduto in gran discredito dinanzi a loro. E perchè temeva che non gli facessero qualche altro danno, ed aveva a male che Famabazo in minor tempo e con spesa minore, tiratili nella sua amicizia, non riuscisse meglio di lui a concluder qualche cosa contro gli Ateniesi, pensò di andare a trovarli nell’ Ellesponto, per querelarsi dell’accaduto ad Antandro, e per giustificarsi, nel modo più soddisfacente, delle accuse che gli venivano date per cagione delle navi fenicie e d’altre cose. Arrivato primieramente ad Efeso fece sacrifizio a Diana. E quando finirà l'inverno sussecutivo alla corrente estate, verrà con esso a compiersi l’anno ventesimoprimo di questa guerra.
