Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War 3.34

[1] As he came by in his return, he put in at Notium, a city of the Colophonians, into which the Colophonians came and inhabited after the town above, through their own sedition, was taken by Itamanes and the barbarians. (This town was taken at the time when Attica was the second time invaded by the Peloponnesians.)

[2] They then that came down and dwelt in Notium, falling again into sedition, the one part having procured some forces, Arcadians and barbarians, of Pissuthnes, kept them in a part of the town which they had severed from the rest with a wall; and there, with such of the Colophonians of the high town as being of the Medan faction entered with them, they governed the city at their pleasure;

[3] and the other part, which went out from these and were the fugitives, brought in Paches. He, when he had called out Hippias, captain of the Arcadians that were within the said wall, with promise, if they should not agree, to set him safe and sound within the wall again, and Hippias was thereupon come to him, committed him to custody, but without bonds, and withal, assaulting the wall on a sudden when they expected not, took it and slew as many of the Arcadians and barbarians as were within; and when he had done, brought Hippias in again, according as he had promised, but, after he had him there, laid hold on him and caused him to be shot to death and restored Notium to the Colophonians, excluding only such as had medized.

[4] Afterwards the Athenians sent governors to Notium of their own and, having gathered together the Colophonians out of all cities whatsoever, seated them there under the law of the Athenians.

[1] On his return along shore he touched, among other places, at Notium , the port of Colophon , where the Colophonians had settled after the capture of the upper town by Itamenes and the barbarians, who had been called in by certain individuals in a party quarrel. The capture of the town took place about the time of the second Peloponnesian invasion of Attica .

[2] However, the refugees, after settling at Notium , again split up into factions, one of which called in Arcadian and barbarian mercenaries from Pissuthnes, and entrenching these in a quarter apart, formed a new community with the Median party of the Colophonians who joined them from the upper town. Their opponents had retired into exile, and now called in Paches,

[3] who invited Hippias, the commander of the Arcadians in the fortified quarter, to a parley, upon condition that, if they could not agree, he was to be put back safe and sound in the fortification. However, upon his coming out to him, he put him into custody, though not in chains, and attacked suddenly and took by surprise the fortification, and putting the Arcadians and the barbarians found in it to the sword, afterwards took Hippias into it as he had promised, and, as soon as he was inside, seized him and shot him down.

[4] Paches then gave up Notium to the Colophonians not of the Median party; and settlers were afterwards sent out from Athens , and the place colonized according to Athenian laws, after collecting all the Colophonians found in any of the cities.

Als er nach der Umkehr an der Küste hinfuhr, landete er
auch bei Nation, der Stadt der Kolophonier ^'), wo sich Kolophonier
aus der weiter landeinwärts gelegenen Stadt angebaut hatten,
nachdem diese von Jtamenes und den Barbaren genommen war, die eine
aufständische Partei in der Stadt selbst herbeigerufen hatte. Diese
Wegnahme war ungefähr um dieselbe Zeit vorgefallen, als die
Peloponnesier das zweite Mal in Attika einfielen. In Notion nun waren
die dorthin geflüchteten Ansiedler auch hier wiederum unter sich
zerfallen, und die Einen hatten sich vom Pissuthnes Arkadische und
Barbarische Hülfsvölker geben lassen und hielten sich in einem
besonders ummauerten Stadttheil. Die medisch Gesinnten aus der
landeinwärts gelegenen Stadt der Kolophonier vereinigten sich hier mit
ihnen und hatten da ihr Wesen; die andere Partei aber, die hatte
weichen müssen und flüchtig geworden war, sührte nun den Paches
herbei. Dieser lud den Hippias, den Befehlshaber der Arkader in
der Befestigung, zu einem Zwiegespräch mit dem Versprechen, ihn
wieder heil und gesund in die Festung zu bringen, wenn seine
Vorschläge nicht annehmlich sein sollten. Der kam nun auch heraus,
Paches aber gab ihn zur Ueberwachung, ließ selbst ganz unvermuthet
gegen die Festung Sturm laufen und nahm sie auch, da jene ganz
unvorbereitet waren. Die Arkader und Barbaren von der Besatzung ^{1 2}
ließ er niederhauen; den Hippias selbst ließ er seinem Versprechen ³
gemäß später in die Festung führen, als er aber innerhalb der Mauern
war, ihn wieder ergreifen und mit Pfeilen niedershcießen. Notion
gab er den Kolophoniern, mit Ausschluß der medisch Gesinnten,
zurück. Später schickten die Athener neue Stadtvorstände hin und
richteten Notion nach ihren Gesetzen ein, nachdem sie dort alle Kolophonier
zusammengezogen hatten, wie sie irgendwo in den Städten zerstreut
waren.

XXXIV. Pachès revint en longeant les côtes, et relàcha à Notium ¹ . Ce port était occupé par les Colo- phoniens, qui s’y étaient établis à l’époque où la ville haute fut prise par Itamanès et les harbares, appelés par une faction. Cet événement avait eu lieu vers le temps de la seconde invasion des Péloponnésiens en Attique. Cependant les fugitifs établis à Notium se divisèrent de nouveau entre eux : une partie demanda à Pissythnès un secours d’Arcadiens ² et de barbares, et se retrancha dans un quartier fortifié. Ceux des Colophoniens de la ville haute qui tenaient pour les Mèdes arrivèrent avec les auxiliaires et s’emparèrent du gouvernement. Ceux au contraire qui s’étaient soustraits à cette faction, et qui vivaient dans l’exil, appelèrent Pachès. Celui-ci invita à une conférence Hippias, chef des Arcadiens qui occupaient la forteresse, sous pro- messe de l’y renvoyer sain et sauf, dans le cas où l’on ne pourrait s’entendre. Hippias sortit en effet et se rendit à l’entrevue. Mais Pachès le plaça sous bonne garde, sans toutefois le mettre aux fers ; puis il attaqua inopinément la forteresse, s’en empara par surprise et massacra les Arcadiens et tous les barbares qui l’occupaient. Il y ramena ensuite Hippias, comme il en était convenu, et, lorsqu’il y fut entré, il le fit saisir et tuer à coups de flèches. Cela fait, il rendit Notium aux Colophoniens, à l’exclusion des partisans des Mèdes. Plus tard les Athéniens y envoyèrent une colonie qu’ils soumirent à leurs propres lois, et y rassemblèrent tous les Colophoniens disséminés dans différentes villes.

Pachès revint en serrant la côte et relâcha à Notion. Cette place servait de port aux Golophoniens. Un certain nombre d’entre eux s’y étaient retirés depuis que la ville haute avait été prise par Itamanès et par les Barbares, qu’une faction avait appelés ¹ . Cet événement avait coïncidé avec la seconde invasion des Péloponésiens en Attique. Etablis à Notion, les réfugiés colopboniens avaient recommencé leurs querelles. Une partie d’entre eux avaient obtenu de Pissouthnès un renfort d’Arca-diens ² et de Barbares, les avaient placés dans un quartier retranché ; et, de concert avec ceux de la ville haute qui tenaient pour les Mèdes, ils faisaient la loi dans Notion. Leurs ad ver-saires, forcés de s’expatrier, appelèrent Pachès. Celui-ci demanda une entrevue à Hippias, chef des Arcadiens qui occupaient le quartier retranché, sous promesse de l’y réinstaller sain et sauf, dans le cas où l’on ne parviendrait pas à s’entendre. Mais Hippias ne fut pas plus tôt sorti, que Pachès l’arrêta, sans toutefois le mettre aux fers ; puis il assaillit brusquement la citadelle, s’en empara par surprise, et fit main basse sur les Arcadiens et sur les Barbares qui s’y trouvaient. Après quoi, selon sa promesse, il y reconduisit Hippias; mais, aussitôt entré, il le fit saisir et percer de traits. Là-dessus Pachès rendit Notion aux Colophoni ens, à l'exclusion des partisans des Mèdes. Plus tard les Athéniens peuplèrent Notion par l’envoi d’one colonie, conformément à leurs propres lois ³ . Ils y réunirent tous les Golophoniens disséminés en différentes villes.

[1] On the way back as he sailed along the coast he put in at Notium, the port of the Colophonians, where the Colophonians had settled when the upper town had been taken by Itamenes and the barbarians, ¹ who had been called in on account of party discord by one of the factions. And this place had been taken about the time when the second Peloponnesian invasion of Attica was made. ²

[2] Now those who had fled for refuge to Notium and settled there again fell into sedition. One party called in mercenaries, both Arcadian and barbarian, whom they had obtained from Pissuthnes, and kept them in a space walled off from the rest of the city, and the Colophonians from the upper town who were in sympathy with the Persians joined them there and were admitted to citizenship;

[3] the other party had secretly made their escape, and, being now in exile, called in Paches. And he summoned Hippias, the commander of the Arcadians in the fortified quarter, to a conference, on condition that if his proposals were unsatisfactory he would restore him safe and sound to the fortress. But when Hippias came out to him, he kept him under guard but unfettered while he himself made a sudden and unexpected attack upon the fortress, captured it, and put to death all the Arcadians and barbarians that were in it. As for Hippias, he afterward took him into the fortress just as he had agreed to do, and as soon as he was inside seized him and shot him down.

[4] He then delivered Notium to the Colophonians, excepting, however, the Persian sympathizers. The Athenians afterwards sent a commission and recolonized Notium, giving it their own institutions, after they had first brought together all the Colophonians from cities where any of them were to be found.

[1] As he coasted along on his return, he touched, amongst other places, at Notium, [the port] of the Colophonians, where they had settled after the capture of the upper city by Itamenes and the barbarians, who had been called in by individuals on the ground of a factious quarrel. The city was taken about the time that the second irruption of the Peloponnesians into Attica took place.

[2] Those then who had fled for refuge to Notium, and settled there, having again split into factions, one party introduced and kept in the fortified quarter of the town an auxiliary force of Arcadians and barbarians sent by Pisuthnes; and those of the Colophonians in the upper city who formed the Median party, went in with them and joined their community;

[3] while those who had retired from them, and were now in exile, introduced Paches. He invited Hippias, the commander of the Arcadians in ¹ the fortified quarter, to a parley, on condition that if he proposed nothing to meet his wishes, he should restore him safe and sound to the fortress; but when he went out to him, he kept him in hold, though not in bonds; and having assaulted the place on a sudden and when they were not expecting it, he took it, and put to the sword the Arcadians and all the rest that were in it. Having afterwards taken Hippias into it, as he had agreed to do, he seized him when he was inside, and shot him through.

[4] He then gave up Notium to the Colophonians, excepting the Median party; and the Athenians subsequently sent out colonists, and settled the place according to their own laws; having collected all the Colophonians, wherever there was one in any of the cities.

[1] Dum autem in reditu maritimam oram legit, ad Notium Colophoniorum urbem appulit, ubi consederant Colophonii, quod urbs superior capta erat ab Itamane et barbaris inter domesticam seditionem accitis; capta autem est eo ferme tempore, quo Peloponnesii secundam irruptionem in Atticam faciebant.

[2] In urbe igitur Notio, cum seditio rursus orta esset inter illos, qui eo confugerant et sedes fixerant, alii quidem a Pissuthne auxiliares copias Arca-dum ac barbarorum accersebant et in munitionibus urbem intersepientibus hpbebant, et illi de Colophoniis ex urbe superiore huc traductis qui Medis faverant, simul eo in· gressi cives erant; alii vero, qui clam istis aufugerant et exsules erant, Pachetem accersunt.

[3] Is autem, quum Hippiam, Arcadum ducem, qui in munitionibus illis urbem intersepientibus erat, ad colloquium evocasset, ea condi· tione, ut, si nihil dixisset, quod sibi placeret, eum in suas munitiones rursus salvum et sanum restitueret, ille quidem ad eum processit, hic vero eum in custodia sine vinculis servari jussit, et munitiones adortus repente illisque nihil tale exspectantibus, capit eas, et Arcadas ac barbaros, quotquot intus erant, occidit. Et Hippiam postea introductum, sicuti factis induciis promiserat, postquam intus fuit, comprehendit, sagittisque confodit.

[4] Colophoniis autem Notium restituit, illis exceptis, qui Medorum partibus faverant. Postea vero Athenienses colonis eo missis eam civitatem ex legibus institutisque suis constituerunt, omnibus Colophoniis, si quis usquam erat, ex civitatibus in unum coactis.

[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.

Nel suo ritornò poi radendo la costa andò a porre in Nozio de’Colofonii, ove si erano condotti ad abitare i Colofonii, perchè da Itamane e dai barbari introdotti per una fazione , era stata occupata la cittadella, verso quel tempo che avvenne la seconda invasione dei Peloponnesi nell’Attica. Insorta pertanto nuova dissensione in Nozio fra quelli che ci si erano rifugiati e gli altri stanziati di prima, questi chiesero a Pissutne delle genti ausiliarie di Arcadi e di barbari cui ritenevano dentro il riparo che separava le due fazioni, ove quei Colofonii della cittadella già partigiani de’ Medi entrarono con loro, ed avevano il maneggio della cosa pubblica. Gli altri all’opposto che si erano sottratti a cotesta fazione , trovandosi banditi, invitano Pachete. Ed egli chiamò a colloquio Ippia comandante degli Arcadi che stavano dentro al riparo, protestando lo rimetterebbe sano e salvo dentro al muro, ove non gli aggradissero le sue proposizioni. Usci Ippia a trovar Pachete, ma egli lo tenne prigione, senza per altro gravarlo di ferri : ed improvvisamente dato l’assalto al muro, mentre quei di dentro stavano senza sospetto alcuno, lo espugna; ed uccide gli Arcadi e quanti barbari vi erano. Dipoi, conforme alla fede data , vi ricondusse Ippia , cui appena entrato fa arrestare ed uccidere a furia di dardi, e consegna Nozio ai Colofonii, eccetto quelli che erano stati dalla parte dei Medi. In seguito gli Ateniesi vi spedirono de' caporani per istabilire in Nozio colonia che si reggesse secondo le loro leggi, e costrinsero tutti i Colofonii, in qualunque città si trovassero, a ritornarvi.
