Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War 2.27

[1] The same summer, the Athenians put the Aeginetae, man, woman, and child, out of Aegina, laying to their charge that they were the principal cause of the present war. And it was also thought the safer course to hold Aegina, being adjacent to Peloponnesus, with a colony of their own people; and not long after they sent inhabitants into the same.

[2] When the Aeginetae were thus banished, the Lacedaemonians gave them Thyrea to dwell in and the occupation of the lands belonging unto it to live on, both upon hatred to the Athenians, and for the benefits received at the hands of the Aeginetae in the time of the earthquake and insurrection of the Helotes. This territory of Thyrea is in the border between Argolica and Laconica, and reacheth to the seaside. So some of them were placed there, and the rest dispersed into other parts of Greece.

[1] During the summer the Athenians also expelled the Aeginetans with their wives and children from Aegina , on the ground of their having been the chief agents in bringing the war upon them. Besides, Aegina lies so near Peloponnese , that it seemed safer to send colonists of their own to hold it, and shortly afterwards the settlers were sent out.

[2] The banished Aeginetans found an asylum in Thyrea, which was given to them by Lacedaemon , not only on account of her quarrel with Athens , but also because the Aeginetans had laid her under obligations at the time of the earthquake and the revolt of the Helots. The territory of Thyrea is on the frontier of Argolis and Laconia , reaching down to the sea. Those of the Aeginetans who did not settle here were scattered over the rest of Hellas .

¹ Im selben Sommer trieben die Athener auch die
Aegineten von ihrer Insel, Alle, sammt Weib und Kind. Sie gaben
ihnen nämlich Schuld, daß sie nicht die geringste Ursache dieses Krieges
seien. Auch glaubten sie, daß die dem Peloponnes naheliegende Insel
Aegina für sie sicherer sei, wenn sie selbst dorthin Ansiedler sendeten,
und so schickten sie denn auch nicht lange danach Kolonisten dorthin.
Den ausgetriebenen Aegineten aber gaben die Lakedämonier Thyrea
zum Wohnsitz nnd das umliegende Land zum Anbau, einmal aus Haß
gegen die Athener, und dann auch, weil sie sich zur Zeit des Erdbebens
und des Heloten-Aufstandes um sie verdient gemacht hatten. Das
thyreatische Land liegt aus der Gränze zwischen Argos und Lakonika und
reicht bis an's Meer. Ein Theil nun von ihnen siedelte sich dort an,
die Andern zerstreuten sich im übrigen Hellas.

XXVII. Dans ce même été les Athéniens expulsèrent d'Égine tous les habitants, y compris les femmes et les enfants, sous prétexte qu’ils étaient les principaux auteurs de la guerre. Ils sentaient que la possession d’Égine, qui touche au Péloponnèse, serait bien mieux assurée dans leurs mains en y établissant des colons athéniens ; et, en effet, ils y envoyèrent, peu de temps après, une colonie. Les Lacédémoniens, en haine des Athéniens, et aussi en reconnaissance des services que les Éginètes leur avaient rendus lors du tremblement de terre et du soulèvement des Hilotes, assignèrent pour habitation aux exilés la ville de Thyréa, avec la jouissance des campagnes environnantes. Le territoire de Thyréa confine à l’Argie et à l’Argolide, et s’étend jusqu’à la mer. Une partie des Éginètes s’y établit ; les autres se dispersèrent dans le reste de la Grèce.

Dans ce même été, les Athéniens expulsèrent les habitants d’Égine, hommes, femmes et enfants. Ils les accusaient d'avoir été une des principales causes de la guerre ; d’ailleurs, Ëgine avoisinant le Péloponèse, il leur semblait prudent d’occuper eux-mêmes cette île. Ils y envoyèrent donc, quelque temps après, une colonie athénienne ¹ . AuxËginètes expulsés les Lacédémoniens cédèrent la ville et le territoire de Thyréa, en haine des Athéniens, comme aussi en reconnaissance des services que les Ëginètes avaient rendus à Lacédémone lors du tremblement de terre et du soulèvement des Ilotes ² . La Thy-réatide est située sur les confins de l’Argolide et de la Laconie ; elle s’étend jusqu’à la mer. Un certain nombre d’Êginètes s’établirent en ce lieu ; les autres se dispersèrent dans toute la Grèce.

[1] In the course of this summer the Athenians also expelled the Aeginetans from Aegina, together with their wives and children, making it their main charge against them that they were responsible for the war in which they were involved; besides Aegina lay close to the Peloponnesus, and it was clearly a safer policy to send colonists of their own to occupy it. And indeed they soon afterwards sent thither the settlers.

[2] As for the Aeginetan refugees, the Lacedaemonians gave them Thyrea to dwell in and its territory to cultivate, moved to do this not only by the hostility of the Aeginetans towards the Athenians but also because the Aeginetans had done them a service at the time of the earthquake and the revolt of the Helots. ¹ Now the district of Thyrea is the border country between Argolis and Laconia, extending down to the sea. There some of the Aeginetans settled, while some were scattered over the rest of Hellas.

[1] This summer the Athenians also expelled the Aeginetans from their island, themselves, their children, and wives, charging them with being the chief authors of the war they were engaged in; besides Which, it appeared safer to send settlers of their own to hold Aegina, lying so near as it does to the Peloponnese. No long time after therefore they sent the colonists to it;

[2] while to the Aeginetans who were expelled the Lacedaemonians gave Thyrea to live in, and the territory to occupy, as well on the ground of their quarrel with the Athenians, as because they had been benefactors to themselves at the time of the earthquake and the insurrection of the Helots. The territory of Thyrea is on the frontier of Argolis and Laconia, stretching down to the sea. So some of them dwelt there, while others were scattered through the rest of Greece.

[1] Hac eadem aestate Athenienses etiam iEginetas ex yEgina, quum ipsos, tum etiam liberos et conjuges ejecerunt, crimini iis dantes, quod hujus belli contra se moti praecipui auctores essent; et tutius fore videbatur, si j£gi-nam Peloponneso adjacentem colonia de suis missa tenerent. Nec multo post colonos in eam miserunt.

[2] jEgi-netis autem ejectis Lacedaemonii Thyream incolendam et ejus agrum possidendum dederunt, tum ob odium, quo Athenienses persequebantur, tum etiam, quod de se bene meriti erant terrae motus tempore et Hclotum rebellione. Thyrealicus vero ager est medius inter Argivum et Laconicum, et ad mare pertinet. Atque alii quidem eorum hic habitaverunt, alii vero per reliquam Graeciam dissipati sunt.

[1] Wenn es bisher bei den Rednern an dieser Stätte fast allgemeiner Brauch geworden, den Mann zu rühmen, der mit der Bestattung diese Rede verband, weil an dem Grabe gefallener Krieger ein ehrendes Wort sich zieme, so würde ich es für hinreichend gehalten haben, dass man Helden der That mit einer festlichen Handlung ehre, — wie das denn der Staat durch die Bestattung gethan hat, deren Zeugen ihr so eben gewesen — und würde die Verherrlichung so vieler Männer nicht einem Einzelnen und der zufälligen Wirkung seines Vortrags anheimgegeben haben.

In questa medesima estate gli Ateniesi cacciarono da Egina gli Eginesi coi fanciulli e le donne, incaricandoli d’essere stati la principal cagione di questa guerra. Senza di che pensavano che essendo Egina adiacente al Peloponneso la riterrebbero con maggior sicurezza, se vi manclasserò colonia dei loro cittadini, come infatti poco stante fecero. Laonde i Lacedemoni diedero ad abitare agli Eginesi Tirea col suo territorio, non tanto a cagione delle differenze avevano con gli Ateniesi, quanto perchè ne erano stati beneficati al tempo del terremoto e della ribellione degl7 Iloti. Il territorio di Tirea è conterminale del suolo argivo e laconico, e si stende sino al mare. Alcuni di coloro vi presero stanza , altri si sparsero pel rimanente della Grecia.
