So sahen die Athener die Sache an, als sie sich zum
Bündnis mit den Kerkyräern entschlossen. Auch schickten sie
ihnen gleich nach der Abreise der korinthischen Gesandten zehn
Schiffe zu Hilfe, über welche Lakedaimonios, Kimons Sohn,
Diotimos, Strombichos' Sohn, und Proteas, Epikles' Sohn,
den Oberbefehl führten. Diese waren jedoch angewiesen, sich
auf keine Schlacht mit den Korinthern einzulassen, es sei denn,
daß sie sich mit ihrer Flotte gegen Kerkyra oder eine seiner
Besitzungen wenden und dort eine Landung beabsichtigen würden;
das aber sollten sie nach Kräften zu verhindern suchen. Diese
Weisung hatte man ihnen erteilt, um einen Vertragsbruch zu
vermeiden. Die Schiffe kamen auch in Kerkyra an.

[1] τοιαύτῃ μὲν γνώμῃ οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι τοὺς Κερκυραίους προσεδέξαντο, καὶ τῶν Κορινθίων ἀπελθόντων οὐ πολὺ ὕστερον δέκα ναῦς αὐτοῖς ἀπέστειλαν βοηθούς·

[2] ἐστρατήγει δὲ αὐτῶν Λακεδαιμόνιός τε ὁ Κίμωνος καὶ Διότιμος ὁ Στρομβίχου καὶ Πρωτέας ὁ Ἐπικλέους.

[3] προεῖπον δὲ αὐτοῖς μὴ ναυμαχεῖν Κορινθίοις, ἢν μὴ ἐπὶ Κέρκυραν πλέωσι καὶ μέλλωσιν ἀποβαίνειν ἢ ἐς τῶν ἐκείνων τι χωρίων· οὕτω δὲ κωλύειν κατὰ δύναμιν. προεῖπον δὲ ταῦτα τοῦ μὴ λύειν ἕνεκα τὰς σπονδάς.

[1] With this mind the people of Athens received the Corcyraeans into league, and when the Corinthians were gone, sent ten galleys not long after to their aid.

[2] The commanders of them were Lacedaemonius the son of Cimon, Diotimus the son of Strombichus, and Proteas the son of Epicles,

[3] and had order not to fight with the Corinthians unless they invaded Corcyra or offered to land there or in some other place of theirs, which, if they did, then with all their might to oppose them. This they forbad, because they would not break the peace concluded with the Peloponnesians. So these galleys arrived at Corcyra.

[1] With these views, Athens received Corcyra into alliance, and on the departure of the Corinthians not long afterwards, sent ten ships to their assistance.

[2] They were commanded by Lacedaemonius, the son of Cimon, Diotimus, the son of Strombichus, and Porteas, the son of Epicles.

[3] Their instructions were to avoid collision with the Corinthian fleet except under certain circumstances. If it sailed to Corcyra and threatened a landing on her coast, or in any of her possessions, they were to do their utmost to prevent it. These instructions were prompted by an anxiety to avoid a breach of the treaty.

Diese Ueberlegungen also veranlaßten die Athener, die
Kerkyräer in ihren Bund aufzunehmen, und bald nachdem sich die
korinthischen Gesandten entfernt hatten, schickten sie ihnen zehn Schiffe zu
Hilfe 89). Das Geschwader befehligten Lakedämonios, Sohn des
Kimon, Diotimos, Sohn des Strombichos, und Proteas, des
Epikles Sohn. Diese nahmen jedoch den Befehl mit, sich zur See mit
den Korinthern in keinen Kampf einzulassen, außer im Fall, daß diese
gegen Kerkyra segelten und dort oder auf einem dazu gehörigen
Gebiete landen wollten. Hieran sollten sie sie jedoch nach Kräften
verhindern. Diese Weisung gab man ihnen mit, um den Friedensvertrag
nicht zu brechen. Jene Schiffe kamen denn auch glücklich bei
Kerkyra an.

XLV. Tels furent les motifs qui déterminèrent les Athéniens à accueillir les Corcyréens : peu après le départ des Corinthiens, ils envoyèrent à Corcyre un secours de dix vaisseaux, commandés par Lacédémonius, fils de Cimon, par Diotime, fils de Strombichus et par Protéas, fils d’Épiclès. Ils leur donnèrent pour instructions de ne pas combattre les Corinthiens, à moins qu’ils ne fissent voile contre Corcyre, ou contre quelque place de son territoire, et n’y tentassent une descente : dans ce cas la flotte athénienne devait s’opposer de tout son pouvoir à leurs entreprises. En donnant ces ordres ils avaient en vue d'éviter la rupture du traité. Les vaisseaux abordèrent à Corcyre.

Tels furent les motifs qui déterminèrent les Athéniens à recevoir Corcyre dans leur alliance. A peine les Corinthiens furent-ils partis, qu’on envoya au secours des Corcyréens dix vaisseaux commandés par Lacédémonios, fils de Cimon, par Diotimos, fils de Strombichos, et par Protéas, fils d’Épiclès. Ils eurent ordre de ne pas combattre les Corinthiens, à moins que ceux-ci ne vinssent attaquer Corcyre et ne menaçassent d’une descente cette lie ou quelque place de sa dépendance ; dans ce cas ils devaient s’y opposer de tout leur pouvoir. On voulait, par ce moyen terme, éviter la rupture du traité. Ces dix vaisseaux arrivèrent à Corcyre.

[1] With these motives the Athenians received the Corcyraeans into alliance and sent to their aid, soon after the departure of the Corinthians,

[2] ten ships commanded by Lacedaemonius son of Cimon, Diotimus son of Strombichus, and Proteas son of Epicles.

[3] Orders were given to these not to engage with the Corinthians, unless they should sail against Corcyra and attempt to land there, or to some place belonging to the Corcyraeans; but in that case they were to thwart them if possible. The object of these orders was to avoid breaking the treaty.

[1] With such a view of the case the Athenians admitted the Corcyraeans into alliance; and when the Corinthians had departed, they sent ten ships to assist them.

[2] Tile commanders of them were Lacedaemonius, the son of Cimon, Diotimus, the son of Strombichus, and Proteas, the son of Epiclees.

[3] They charged them not to engage with the Corinthians, unless they should sail against Corcyra, and threaten to land, or against any of the places belonging to them; but in that case to prevent them to their utmost: and this charge they gave them with a view to not breaking the treaty. So the ships arrive at Corcyra.

[1] Hoc igitur consilio Athenienses Corcyraeos receperunt, nec multo post Corinthiorum discessum decem naves illis auxilio miserunt.

[2] Illarum autem duces erant Lacedaemonius Cimonis et Diotimus Strombichi et Proteas Epidis filius,

[3] quibus praeceperunt, ne cum Corinthiis pugnarent, si non conlra Corcyram navigarent, et ibi facere exscensiones vellent, aut contra aliquod ipsorum oppidum; tum demum ut illoe pro viribus impedirent.

[4] Haec autem ideo praeceperunt, ne foedera frangerent.

Con questo intendimento gli Ateniesi accettarono i Corfuotti ; e poco dopo, partiti i legati di Corinto, spedirono loro in soccorso dieci navi sotto il comando di Lacedomonio figliolo di Cimone , di Diotimo di Strombico, e di Protea d’ Epicle ; ma con ordine di non venire a naval combattimento coi Corintii, eccetto che se navigassero contro Corfù o altro luogo di sua giurisdizione, e tentassero farvi scala : allora vi resistessero con tutto il vigore : tali ordini tendevano a non rompere il concordato. Queste navi poi arrivan di fatto a Corfù.
