Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War 7.35

[1] Demosthenes and Eurymedon, after the Thurians had put in readiness to go with them seven hundred men of arms and three hundred darters, commanded their galleys to go along the coast to Croton, and conducted their land soldiers, having first taken a muster of them all upon the side of the river Sybaris, through the territory of the Thurians.

[2] But coming to the river Hylias, upon word sent them from the men of Croton that if the army went through their territory it should be against their will, they marched down to the seaside and to the mouth of the river Hylias, where they stayed all that night and were met by their galleys. The next day embarking, they kept along the shore and touched at every town saving Locri till they arrived at Petra in the territory of Rhegium.

[1] This was the termination of the action at Naupactus . To return to Demosthenes and Eurymedon: the Thurians having now got ready to join in the expedition with seven hundred heavy infantry and three hundred darters, the two generals ordered the ships to sail along the coast to the Crotonian territory, and meanwhile held a review of all the land forces upon the river Sybaris , and then led them through the Thurian country.

[2] Arrived at the river Hylias, they here received a message from the Crotonians, saying that they would not allow the army to pass through their country; upon which the Athenians descended towards the shore, and bivouacked near the sea and the mouth of the Hylias, where the fleet also met them, and the next day embarked and sailed along the coast touching at all the cities except Locri , until they came to Petra in the Rhegian territory.

Demotshenes aber und Eurymedon, als die Thurier dahin
gebracht waren, sich ihnen mit siebenhundert Schwerbewaffneten und
drei hundert Speerträgern anzuschließen, ließen die Schiffe an der
Küste hin gegen das Krotoniatische Gebiet weiterfahren; sie selbst
aber, nachdem sie zuerst am Sybarisflusse über dte ganze Armee
Heershcau gehalten, führten dieselbe durch ThurischeS Gebiet weiter.
Als sie aber an den HyliaSfluß kamen und die Krotoniaten ihnen die
Botschaft entgegenshcickten, daß sie mit ihrem guten Willen das Heer
nicht durch ihr Gebiet ziehen ließen/so zogen sie sich nach der Küste
hinab und lagerten die Nacht durch an der See und an der Mündung
des Hylias. Eben dahin kamen ihnen auch die Schiffe
entgegengefahren. Am folgenden Tag ließen sie das Heer die Schiffe besteigen
und segelten längs der Küste weiter, bei den einzelnen Städten,
Lokri ausgenommen, anhaltend, bis sie nach Petra im Gebiet von
Rhegium kamen.

XXXV. Lorsque les Thuriens furent prêts à se joindre à l’expédition, avec sept cents hoplites et trois cents hommes de trait, Démosthènes et Eurymédon ordonnèrent à la flotte de longer les côtes de Crotone. Eux-mêmes, après avoir fait une revue de toutes les troupes de terre sur les bords du fleuve Sybaris, les conduisirent à travers les campagnes de Thurium. Mais, lorsqu’ils furent au fleuve Hylias, les Crotoniates les firent prévenir qu’ils refusaient à l’armée le passage sur leur territoire. Ils se rabattirent alors vers la mer et passèrent, la nuit à l’embouchure de l’Hylias, où leur flotte vint les rejoindre. Le lendemain, ils s’embarquèrent, rangèrent les côtes, prenant terre à toutes les villes, Locres exceptée, et parvinrent à Pétra, dépendance de Rhégium.

Démosthène et Eurymédon, après avoir reçu des Thuriens un renfort de sept cents hoplites et de trois cents gens de trait, ordonnèrent aux vaisseaux de longer la côte jusqu’à Crotone ; eux-mêmes passèrent en revue toute leur infanterie au bord du fleuve Sybaris, et se mirent eu marche par le territoire des Thuriens. Quand ils furent près du fleuve Hylias, les Crotoniates leur interdirent le passage. Ils se rapprochèrent donc de la mer, et vinrent bivaquer à l’embouchure de l’Hy-lias, où la flotte les rejoignit. Le lendemain ils s’embarquèrent, et suivirent la côte en touchant à toutes les villes, Locres seule exceptée, jusqu’à ce qu’ils fussent parvenus à Pétra, sur le territoire de Rhégion.

[1] Demosthenes and Eurymedon, ¹ when the Thurians had been induced to join in the campaign with them with seven hundred hoplites and three hundred javelin-men, gave orders that the ships should sail along the coast toward the territory of Croton, while they themselves, after first reviewing all their land forces at the river Sybaris, advanced through the territory of Thuria.

[2] And when they came to the river Hylias and the Crotoniates sent word to them that their army could not go through their territory with their consent, they went down and bivouacked near the sea at the mouth of the Hylias; and their ships met them at that point. On the next day they embarked their army and proceeded along the coast, touching at the various cities, with the exception of Locri, until they reached Petra in the territory of Rhegium.

[1] Now Demosthenes and Eurymedon, when the Thurians were prepared to join them in the expedition with seven hundred heavy-armed and three hundred dart-men, gave orders for the ships to coast along towards the Crotonian territory; while they themselves, having first reviewed all the land forces on the river Sybaris, proceeded to lead them through the Thurian country.

[2] When they were on the banks of the river Hylias, and the Crotonians sent to them, and said that they should not choose the army to pass through their territory, they descended towards the shore, and encamped for the night by the sea, at the mouth of the Hylias, their ships also meeting them at the same point. The following day, having put their men on board, they coasted along, touching at all the cities, excepting Locri, until they came to Petra in the Rhegian territory.

[1] Demosthenes vero et Eurymedon, posteaquam Tburii parati fuerant ad illius militiae societatem sequendam cum septingentis gravis annatur» militibus et trecentis jaculatoribus , classem quidem in oram Crotoniatidem praetervehi jubebant, ipsi vero peditatum omnem, quum lustres-sent, primo ad fluvium Sybarin ducebant per agrum Thorium.

[2] Et quum ad Hyliam fluvium pervenissent, et Crotoniatae ad eos praemisissent, qui dicerent, non sibi volentibus fore, si per suum agrum exercitus transiret, ad mare descenderunt, et ad Hyliae ostium pernoctarunt; et naves in eandem locum iis occurrebant. Postridie vero, quum eas conscendissent, oram legentes discedebant, et ad urbes, praeter Locros, appellebant, donec Petram Rbegini agri pervenerunt

Demostene poi ed Eurimedonte , tostochè i Tu rii furono in ordine per unirsi a loro con settecento soldati gravi e trecento laudatori, comandarono alle navi di avanzarsi lungo la costa fino alla spiaggia crotoniaca ; mentre essi, fatta prima la rassegna delle genti da piè presso il fiume Sibari, le conducevano attraverso il territorio di Turia. E giunti che furono sul fiume Uia, i Crotoniati mandarono ad essi significando che non sarebbe di loro volontà il passaggio dell’esercito per le loro terre ; e però calarono al piano e pernottarono presso al mare alla foce del fiume Ilia , ove furono incontrati dalle navi. Il dì seguente imbarcatisi costeggiavano, fermandosi alle diverse città ( tranne i Locrii ) finché pervennero a Petra del contado di Reggio.
