Um dieselbe Zeit fielen die Argeier in das Gebiet von
Phlius ein, wurden aber von den Einwohnern und ihren
eigenen Flüchtlingen auS einem Hinterhalt überfallen und
ließen gegen achtzig Tote auf dem Platze. Die Athener fügten
den Lakedämoniern durch Beutezüge von Pylos vielen Schaden
zu. Indessen nahmen die Lakedämonier daraus keinen Anlaß,
den Frieden für gebrochen zu erklären und Krieg anzufangen;
sie ließen jedoch öffentlich bekanntmachen, daß auch bei ihnen
Beutezüge gegen die Athener erlaubt sein sollten. Die
Korinther fingen wegen gewisser besonderer Streitigkeiten
Krieg mit den Athenern an, woran sich die übrigen Pelo
ponnesier aber nicht beteiligten. Die Melier eroberten bei
einem nächtlichen Überfall ein Stück der Einschließungsmauer
der Athener in der Nähe ihres Lagermarktes, töteten eine
Anzahl Leute und schafften, was sie konnten, an Lebensmitteln
und sonstigen Bedürfnissen in die Stadt, zogen sich dann aber
zurück, ohne den Angriff zu erneuern. Die Athener aber
paßten seitdem besser auf. Damit endete der Sommer.

[1] About the same time the Argives, making a road into Phliasia, lost about eighty of their men by ambush laid for them by the men of Phlius and the outlaws of their own city.

[2] And the Athenians that lay in Pylus fetched in thither a great booty from the Lacedaemonians. Notwithstanding which, the Lacedaemonians did not war upon them [as] renouncing the peace, but gave leave by edict only to any of their people that would to take booties reciprocally in the territory of the Athenians.

[3] The Corinthians also made war upon the Athenians; but it was for certain controversies of their own, and the rest of Peloponnesus stirred not.

[4] The Melians also took that part of the wall of the Athenians, by an assault in the night, which looked towards the market place, and having slain the men that guarded it, brought into the town both corn and other provision, whatsoever they could buy for money, and so returned and lay still. And the Athenians from thenceforth kept a better watch. And so this summer ended.

About the same time the Argives invaded the territory of Phlius and lost eighty men cut off in an ambush by the Phliasians and Argive exiles.

Meanwhile the Athenians at Pylos took so much plunder from the Lacedaemonians that the latter, although they still refrained from breaking off the treaty and going to war with Athens , yet proclaimed that any of their people that chose might plunder the Athenians.

The Corinthians also commenced hostilities with the Athenians for private quarrels of their own; but the rest of the Peloponnesians stayed quiet.

Meanwhile the Melians attacked by night and took the part of the Athenian lines over against the market, and killed some of the men, and brought in corn and all else that they could find useful to them, and so returned and kept quiet, while the Athenians took measures to keep better guard in future.
Summer was now over.

deßhalb den Vertrag nicht und führten, keinen Krieg gegen sie, doch
ließen sie bekannt machen: Wer bei ihnen-wolle, könne Naubzüge

einiger eigenen,.Angelegenheiten wegen Krieg gegen die Athener; die
übrigen Peloponnesier verhielten sich ruhig.

Die Melier indessen hatten durch einen nächtlichen Ausfall den
Theil der-zAthenifchen Verschanzung genommen, der gegen den Lager-

LebenSmittel und sonst brauchbare Dinge in möglichster Menge ein- ¹

die Athener trafen nun zu ihrer Ueberwachung bessere Vorkehrungen.

CXV. Vers le même temps, les Argiens envahirent le territoire de Phlionte; mais, surpris dans une embuscade par les Phliasiens et leurs propres bannis, ils perdirent environ quatre-vingts des leurs. Les Athéniens de Pylos firent sur les Lacédémoniens un butin considérable; les Lacédémoniens, de leur côté, répondirent à cette attaque par des hostilités, sans pourtant considérer le traité comme rompu, et proclamèrent qu’il était loisible à tout Lacédémonien de piller les Athéniens. Les Corinthiens prirent aussi les armes contre les Athéniens, pour quelques différends particuliers : le reste du Péloponnèse se tint en repos. Les Méliens attaquèrent la nuit et emportèrent la partie de l’enceinte athénienne du côté du marché¹; ils tuèrent quelques hommes, emportèrent le plus qu’ils purent de vivres et d’objets de première nécessité, et rentrèrent dans la place où ils se tinrent en repos. Les Athéniens firent dès lors meilleure garde, et l’été finit.

À la même époque, les Argiens envahirent le ternaire de Phlionte ; mais, étant tombés dans une embuscade qui îur fut tendue par les Phliasiens et par leurs propres bannis, Ls perdirent près de quatre-vingts hommes. Les Athéniens ui étaient à Pylos firent en Laconie un butin considérable. Ce ie fut pas pour les Lacédémoniens un motif de rompre la trêve t de leur déclarer la guerre ; seulement ils firent publier qu’en eprésailles chacun serait libre de piller les Athéniens. Les lorinthiens prirent aussi Les armes contre Athènes à Focca-ion de quelques difficultés particulières. Dans le reste du Péloponèse la paix ne fut pas troublée. '

Les Méliens, dans une attaque nocturne, s’emparèrent d’une partie de la circonvallation athénienne en face de l’agora, ils tuèrent quelques hommes, et introduisirent dans la ville lu blé et d’autres substances alimentaires ; après quoi ils rentrèrent et se tinrent en repos. Les Athéniens firent dès lors meilleure garde. Ce furent les derniers événement? de l’été.

[1] About the same time the Argives invaded Phliasia; but being ambushed by the Phliasians and the Argive exiles they lost about eighty men. Also the Athenians at Pylos took much booty from the Lacedaemonians;

[2] but even this did not move the Lacedaemonians to renounce the treaty and make war upon them. They made proclamation, however, that any one of their own people who wished might make reprisals upon the Athenians.

[3] The Corinthians also went to war with the Athenians on account of some private differences; but the rest of the Peloponnesians kept quiet.

[4] The Melians, too, took the part of the Athenian wall over against the market-place by a night assault; then having slain some of the men and brought in grain and as many other necessaries as they could, they withdrew and kept quiet. After that the Athenians maintained a better watch. So the summer ended.

[1] About the same time an Argive force invaded the Phliasian territory, and being intercepted by an ambuscade of the Phliasians and their allies, were cut off to the number of eighty.

[2] And now the Athenians at Pylus took great spoils from the Lacedaemonians; in consequence of which the Lacedaemonians, though even then they did not renounce the treaty, and go to war with them, proclaimed that any of their people who pleased might plunder the Athenians.

[3] Moreover, the Corinthians proceeded to hostilities with the Athenians for some private quarrels of their own;

[4] but the rest of the Peloponnesians remained quiet. The Melians, too, attacked by night the part of the Athenian lines opposite the ¹ market-place, and slew some of the men; and having carried in corn, and as many useful things as they could, returned and kept quiet; while the Athenians made better provision for the guard in future. And so the summer ended.

[1] Sub idem tempus Argivi irruptione in agrum Phliasium facta et a Phliasiis et a suis exsulibus per insidias excepti circiter octoginta perierunt.

[2] Et Athenienses, qui Pyli erant, magnam Lacedaemoniorum prapdam ceperunt; et Lacedaemonii ideo ne sic quidem solutis foederibus bellum iis faciebant; edicto tamen permiserunt cuitibel de suis, ut praedam ex Atheniensium finibus aget et.

[3] Et Corinthii privatarum quarumdam controversiarum causa bellum Atheniensibus intulerunt; ceteri autem Peloponnesii quiescebant

[4] Ceperunt vero etiam Melii munitionis ab Atheniensibus exstructae eam partem, quae forum spectabat, noctu eam aggressi, et nonnullos viros interfecerunt, et frumentum aliumque commeatum quam plurimum potue- runt, in urbem importantes se receperunt , et deinde quiescebant ; et Athenienses postea diligentius excubias agebant. et haec aestas finiebatur.

Al tempo medesimo gli Argivi assaltarono la Fliasia : ma colti per imboscata dai Fliasii e dai fuorusciti d’Argo ne morirono circa ottanta. Gli Ateniesi di Pilo fecero gran bottino sui Lacedemoni, i quali per riscatto , senza però rinunziare al concordato, commettevano contrassi delle ostilità; e bandirono che a chiunque dei loro piacesse, usasse rappresaglie su gli Ateniesi. Anche i Corintii ebbero guerra con gli Ateniesi, per private differenze ; il resto del Peloponneso era in calma. I Melii assalirono ed espugnarono di notte il muro fatto dagli Ateniesi dirimpetto al mercato, uccisero alcune guardie , introdussero frumento e quante più robe poterono in città; ove rientrati stavano quieti. A ciò provvidero in seguito gli Ateniesi con guardia migliore ; e finiva l’estate.
