Die immer noch um den Peloponnes kreuzenden Athener
auf den hundert Schiffen eroberten die korinthische Stadt
Sollion und räumten Stadt und Land Akarnaniern, jedoch
nur den Palaireern, zum Wohnsitz ein. Astakos, wo Euarchos
Tyrann war, nahmen sie mit Sturm, vertrieben den Tyrannen
und zwangen die Stadt, dem Athenischen Bunde beizutreten.
Darauf fuhren sie nach der Insel Kephallenia, die sich ihnen
ohne Schwertstreich ergab. Kephallenia liegt Akarnanien und
Leukas gegenüber und besteht aus vier Stadtgemeinden, Paleis,
Kranioi, Same und Pronnoi. Bald nachher fuhren die Schiffe
nach Athen zurück.

[1] The Athenians, being yet with their hundred galleys about Peloponnesus, took Solium, a town that belonged to the Corinthians, and put the Palaerenses only, of all the Acarnanians, into the possession both of the town and territory. Having also by force taken Astacus from the tyrant Euarchus, they drave him thence and joined the place to their league.

[2] From thence they sailed to Cephalonia and subdued it without battle (this Cephalonia is an island lying over against Acarnania and Leucas and hath in it these four cities, the Pallenses, Cranii, Samaei, and Pronaei) and not long after returned with their fleet to Athens.

[1] Meanwhile the Athenians in the hundred vessels were still cruising round Peloponnese . After taking Sollium, a town belonging to Corinth , and presenting the city and territory to the Acarnanians of Palaira, they stormed Astacus , expelled its tyrant Evarchus, and gained the place for their confederacy.

[2] Next they sailed to the island of Cephallenia and brought it over without using force. Cephallenia lies off Acarnania and Leucas , and consists of four states, the Paleans, Cranians, Samaeans, and Pronaeans. Not long afterwards the fleet returned to Athens .

Die Athener aber, welche noch auf den hundert Schiffen
in den Peloponnesischen Gewässern kreuzten, nahmen Solion weg,
ein Korinthisches Städtchen, und gaben von den Akarnanern allein
den Paläreern Land und Stadt zum Wohnsitz. Auch Astakos, wo
Euarchos als Tyrann herrschte, nahmen sie mit Gewalt, vertrieben
jenen und zogen die Stadt in ihre Bundesgenossenschaft. Dann
schifften sie gegen die Insel Kephallenia und wurden ihrer ohne
Schwertstreich Herr. Kephallenia liegt in der Gegend von Akarnanien ¹²
und Lenkas und hat vier Städte, die der Palenser, Krämer, Samäer
und Pronnäer. Nicht lange danach fuhren die Schiffe nach Athen zurück.

XXX. Les Athéniens qui montaient les cent vaisseaux croisaient encore autour du Péloponnèse ; ils prirent Solium¹, place des Corinthiens, et l’abandonnèrent, avec son territoire, aux habitants de Phalère, pour en jouir à l’exclusion de tous les autres Acarnanes. Ils prirent également de vive force Astacos², en chassèrent le tyran Évarque, et firent entrer le pays dans leur alliance. Faisant ensuite voile vers Céphallénie, ils la soumirent sans combat. Céphallénie, située en face de l’Acarnanie et de Leucade, renferme quatre villes : celles des Paléens, des Craniens, des Saméens et des Pronéens. Peu de temps après la flotte rentra à Athènes.

Cependant les Athéniens, avec leurs cent vaisseaux, croisaient autour du Péloponèse.

[1] Meanwhile the Athenians in the hundred ships, who were still operating on the Peloponnesian coast, took Sollium, a town belonging to the Corinthians, which they then handed over, the territory as well as the city, to the people of Palaerus in Acarnania, for their exclusive occupation. They also stormed Astacus, which Euarchus ruled as tyrant, drove him out, and incorporated the place in their confederacy.

[2] Sailing then to the island of Cephallenia, they brought it over to their side without a battle. Now Cephallenia lies over against Acarnania and Leucas and is a union of four communities, the Palians, Cranians, Samaeans, and Pronnians. And not long afterwards the ships withdrew to Athens.

[1] Meanwhile the Athenians in the hundred vessels, still cruising around the Peloponnese, took Sollium, a town belonging to the Corinthians, and gave it up to the Palaereans alone of the Acarnanians, to enjoy the territory and city; and having stormed Astacus, of which Evarchus was tyrant, they expelled him, and won the place for their confederacy.

[2] They then sailed to the island of Cephallenia, and brought it over to their side without fighting. Cephallenia lies opposite Acarnania and Leucas, and consists of four states, the Paleans, Cranians, Samaeans, and Pronaeans. Not long after, the ships returned to Athens.

[1] Qui vero Athenienses cum centum navibus circa Peloponnesum adhuc versabantur, Solium Corinthiorum oppidum ceperunt, idque cum agro solis Acarnanum Palae-rensibus incolendum tradiderunt; Astacum quoque, in qua Euarchus tyrannus erat, per vim ceperunt, ipsoque ejecto urbem in societatem adsdverunt.

[2] Et in insulam Cephalleniam navibus profecti sine pugna eam in suam potestatem redegerunt; sita autem est Cephallenia e regione Acarnaniae et Leucadis; et est quatuor civitatium commune, Palenees, Cranii, Samaei, Pronnaei.

[3] Nec multo post hae naves reverterunt Athenas.

[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.

Questi colle cento navi trovandosi tuttora intorno al Peloponneso, prendono Solio cittadella dei Corintii, e di essa e del suo territorio investono i soli Paliresi , esclusi gli altri Acarnani. Espugnarono Astaco ove si era latto tiranno Evarco : cacciaronlo, ed aggiunsero il paese alla loro alleanza. Andarono poscia colla flotta all’ isola di Cefallenia e se ne insignorirono senza combattimento. Quest’ isola è situata rimpetto all’Acarnania ed a Leucade , ed ha quattro città ; ciò sono, quella dei Pallesi, de’ Cranii , de’ Samei, e de’ Pronei. Poco dopo , la flotta ritornò alla volta d’Atene.

Οἱ —the influence of the art. extends to Πελοπόννησον, so that ὄντες is attributive.

ἔτι —where they were left c. 25. Σόλλιον—here Demosthenes landed in Aetolia in 426. It remained in the possession of Athens to the peace of Nicias. It appears to be S. of Astacns.

τὴν γῆν καὶ πόλιν —the art. covers both nouns, they being inseparable. Cf. c. 64 ἡ λαμπρότης καὶ δόξα. νέμεσθαι —epexegetie, τὴν γῆν καὶ πόλιν being object to παραδιδόασι. Cf. c. 27, 2.

Ἄστακον —near the mouth of the Achelous.

Κατὰ Ἀκαρνανίαν —‘opposite.’ Cf. Aristoph. Ran. 626 κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς = coram te. A rare use.

τετράπολις — the Samaeans were the most important, and in ancient times gave their name to the state. In Od. I. 246 Cephallenia is ealled Same, in IV. 671 Samos.

Παλῆς —the names of the people are given instead of the cities. Cf. c. 9, 4.
