Nachdem die Korinther alles fertig gemacht und für drei
Tage Lebensmittel eingenommen hatten, stachen sie bei Nacht
von Cheimerion in See in der Absicht, eine Schlacht zu liefern.
Bei Tagesanbruch sichteten sie am Horizont die auf sie zu
fahrenden Schiffe der Kerkyräer. AlS beide sich in Sehweite
gekommen waren, stellten sie sich einander gegenüber in Schlacht
ordnung. Auf dem rechten Flügel der Kerkyräer standen die
attischen Schiffe, auf dem anderen ihre eigenen, die sie in
drei Geschwader geteilt hatten, deren jedes von einem der
drei Feldherren befehligt wurde. So die Aufstellung der Ker
kyräer. Auf seiten der Korinther bildeten die Schiffe von Me
igara und Amprakia den rechten Flügel, die Mitte die übrigen
Bundesgenossen alle nach der Reihe, den linken Flügel, den
Athenern und dem rechten Flügel der Kerkyräer gegenüber,
die Korinther selbst mit den besten Schiffen.

[4] οὕτω μὲν Κερκυραῖοι ἐτάξαντο, Κορινθίοις δὲ τὸ μὲν δεξιὸν κέρας αἱ Μεγαρίδες νῆες εἶχον καὶ αἱ Ἀμπρακιώτιδες, κατὰ δὲ τὸ μέσον οἱ ἄλλοι ξύμμαχοι ὡς ἕκαστοι· εὐώνυμον δὲ κέρας αὐτοὶ οἱ Κορίνθιοι ταῖς ἄριστα τῶν νεῶν πλεούσαις κατὰ τοὺς Ἀθηναίους καὶ τὸ δεξιὸν τῶν Κερκυραίων εἶχον.

[1] The Corinthians, after they were ready and had taken aboard three days' provision of victual, put off by night from Chimerium with purpose to fight,

[2] and about break of day, as they were sailing, described the galleys of the Corcyraeans, which were also put off from Sybota and coming on to fight with the Corinthians.

[3] As soon as they had sight one of another, they put themselves into order of battle. In the right wing of the Corcyraeans were placed the galleys of Athens, and the rest being their own were divided into three commands under the three commanders, one under one.

[4] This was the order of the Corcyraeans. The Corinthians had in their right wing the galleys of Megara and of Ambracia; in the middle, other their confederates in order; and opposite to the Athenians and right wing of the Corcyraeans they were themselves placed, with such galleys as were best of sail, in the left.

[1] When the Corinthian preparations were completed they took three days' provisions, and put out from Chimerium by night, ready for action.

[2] Sailing with the dawn, they sighted the Corcyraean fleet out at sea, and coming towards them.

[3] When they perceived each other, both sides formed in order of battle. On the Corcyraean right wing lay the Athenian ships, the rest of the line being occupied by their own vessels formed in three squadrons, each of which was commanded by one of the three admirals.

[4] Such was the Corcyraean formation. The Corinthian was as follows: on the right wing lay the Megarian and Ambraciot ships, in the center the rest of the allies in order. But the left was composed of the best sailors in the Corinthian navy, to encounter the Athenians and the right wing of the Corcyraeans.

Nachdem die Korinther ihre Vorbereitungen getroffen und
für drei Tage Lebensmittel eingenommen hatten, segelten sie bei Nacht
vom Vorgebirge Cheimerion ab, um eine Seeschlacht zu wagen, und
mit der Morgenröthe sahen sie der Kerkyräer Schiffe auf hoher See
gegen sich ansegelnd. Nachdem auch jene sie wahrgenommen, stellten
sie sich gegen einander in Schlachtordnung auf. Den rechten Flügel
der Kerkyräer nahmen die Athenischen Schiffe ein, ihre eigenen, in
drei Geschwader unter AnfüHrung ihrer drei Feldherrn abgetheilt, den
linken. Dies war die Aufstellung der Kerkyräer. Aus Seiten der
Korinther bildeten die Megarischen und Amvrakiotischen Schiffe
den rechten Flügel, im Mitteltreffen standen die andern Bundesgenos»
sen der Reihe nach, und den linken Flügel hatten mit ihren besten
Schiffen die Korinther selbst inne, gegenüber den Athenern und dem
rechten Flügel der Kerkyräer.

XLVIII. Les préparatifs terminés, les Corinthiens firent voile la nuit, de Chimérium, avec trois jours de vivres, pour aller offrir le combat. Ils naviguaient, au point du jour, lorsqu’ils distinguèrent en pleine mer la flotte corcyréenne qui venait à leur rencontre. Dès qu’on se fut aperçu de part et d’autre, on se mit en ordre de bataille. A l’ile droite des Corcyréens étaient les vaisseaux d’Athènes ; le reste de la ligne était occupé par les Corcyréens formés en trois divisions, cha- cune sous le commandement d’un des généraux. Telles étaient les dispositions des Corcyréens : les Corinthiens placèrent à leur aile droite les vaisseaux de Mégare et d’Arabracie, au milieu les autres alliés, chacun à part ; eux-mêmes formaient, avec les navires d’une marche supérieure, l’aile gauche, opposée aux Athéniens et à la droite des Corcyréens.

Quand leurs dispositions furent terminées¹, les Corinthiens prirent des vivfres pour trois jours et quittèrent Chi-mérion pendant la nuit, déterminés à livrer bataille. Ils étaient en mer au lever de l’aurore, lorsqu’ils découvrirent au large la flotte corcyréenne qui s'avançait contre eux. Dès qu’on se fut aperçu, chacune des deux armées se mit en ordre de combat. A l’aile droite des Corcyréens étaient placés les vaisseaux d’Athènes; le reste de la ligne était formé par les Corcyréens eux-mêmes, partagés en trois divisions, dont chacune était commandée par un des trois généraux. Les Corinthiens avaient à leur aile droite les vaisseaux de Mégère et d’Ambracie, au centre le reste de leurs alliés, chacun à son rang ; les Corinthiens eux-mêmes occupaient la gauche avec les bâtiments les plus lestes. Ils se trouvaient ainsi en face des Athéniens et de l’aile droite de la flotte corcyréenne.

[1] When their preparations had been made, the Corinthians, taking provisions for three days, put off by night from Cheimerium with the intention of giving battle,

[2] and at daybreak as they sailed along they descried the ships of the Corcyraeans out at sea and sailing to meet them.

[3] And as soon as they saw one another, they drew up in opposing battle lines, the Attic ships on the right wing of the Corcyraeans, who themselves held the rest of the line forming three divisions, each under the command of one of the three generals.

[4] So the Corcyraeans arrayed themselves; but the right wing of the Corinthian fleet was held by the Megarian ships and the Ambracian, in the centre were the other allies with their several contingents, while the left was held by the Corinthians themselves with their best sailing ships, opposed to the Athenians and the right wing of the Corcyraeans.

[1] When the preparations of the Corinthians were made, taking three days' provision, they put out from Chimerium by night, with the purpose of engaging;

[2] and in the morning, while on their course, they observed the ships of the Corcyraeans out at sea, and sailing against them.

[3] And when they saw each other, they drew up in opposite lines of battle. On the right wing of the Corcyraeans were the Athenian ships, but the rest of the line they themselves occupied, having formed three squadrons of their ships, which were commanded each by one of the three generals.

[4] In this way did the Corcyraeans form their line. On the side of the Corinthians, the Megarean and Ambraciot ships occupied the right wing; in the centre were the rest of the allies severally; while the left wing was occupied by the Corinthians themselves with their best sailing ships, opposed to the Athenians and the right of the Corcyraeans.

[1] Corinthii vero, postquam parati erant, sumptis trium dierum cibariis, a Chimeno noctu solverunt eo animo, ut proelium navale committerent;

Essendosi i Corintii ben preparati preser foraggio per tre giorni , e di notte salparono da Chimerìo per venire a battaglia navale. Navigavano sul far dell’ aurora , quando videro le navi dei Corfuotti in alto mare avanzarsi contro di loro, e vistisi appena scambievolmente si misero da ambe le parti in ordinanza. I Corfuotti avevano sul conio destro le navi d’Atene, ed essi reggevano il rimanente dell’armata che era diviso in tre squadre, guidate ciascuna da uno dei tre capitani. Tale era l'ordinanza dei Corfuotti. Sulla destra dei Corintii erano le navi megaresi e ambraciote, nel mezzo il resto degli alleati, come era toccato a ciascuno : sulla sinistra stavano i Corintii da se colle navi più spedite al corso, di faccia agli Ateniesi che erano sulla destra dei Corfuotti.
