Am folgenden Tage errichteten die Syrakuser zwei Sieges
zeichen, eins auf Epipolai, wo der Weg hinaufkommt, das
andere, wo die Böotier sich dem Feinde entgegengestellt hatten.
Den Athenern wurden ihre Toten unter Waffenstillstand heraus
gegeben. Von ihnen und ihren Verbündeten waren viele ge
fallen, doch war die Zahl der erbeuteten Schilde noch größer
als die der Toten; denn die, welche genötigt gewesen waren,
von den Abhängen zu springen, hatten vorher ihre Schilde
weggeworfen und waren nur zum Teil umgekommen, zum Teil
aber am.Leben geblieben.

[1] τῇ δ’ ὑστεραίᾳ οἱ μὲν Συρακόσιοι δύο τροπαῖα ἔστησαν, ἐπί τε ταῖς Ἐπιπολαῖς ᾗ ἡ πρόσβασις καὶ κατὰ τὸ χωρίον ᾗ οἱ Βοιωτοὶ πρῶτον ἀντέστησαν, οἱ δ’ Ἀθηναῖοι τοὺς νεκροὺς ὑποσπόνδους ἐκομίσαντο.

[1] The next day the Syracusians erected two trophies, one in Epipolae at the ascent and another where the first check was given by the Boeotians. The Athenians received their dead under truce. And many there were that died, both of themselves and of their confederates;

[2] but the arms taken were more than for the number of the slain. For of such as were forced to quit their bucklers and leap down from the rocks, though some perished, yet some there also were that escaped.

[1] The next day the Syracusans set up two trophies, one upon Epipolae where the ascent had been made, and the other on the spot where the first check was given by the Boeotians; and the Athenians took back their dead under truce.

[2] A great many of the Athenians and allies were killed, although still more arms were taken than could be accounted for by the number of the dead, as some of those who were obliged to leap down from the cliffs without their shields escaped with their lives and did not perish like the rest.

Am folgenden Tag stellten die Syrakusaner zwei
Siegeszeichen.auf, das eine bei Epipolä, dort, wo der Zugang herausführte,
und das andere an dem Fleck, wo die Böoter zuerst Widerstand
leisteten. Die Athener brachten unter dem Schutze eines Vertrags ihre
Todten ein. Von ihnen sowohl wie von den Bundesgenossen war
eine große Zahl gefallen; die Zahl der Verlornen Schilde war aber
größer, als die der Todten, denn von denen, welche gezwungen waren,
die Abhänge hinabzuspringen, und dabei zu ihrer Erleichterung die
Schilde weggeworfen hatten, war nur ein Theil umgekommen und
die Andern hatten sich gerettet.

XLV. Le lendemain, les Syracusains élevèrent deux trophées, l’un à Épipolæ vers la montée, l’autre à l’endroit où les Béotiens avaient opposé la première résistance. Les Athéniens enlevèrent leurs morts par convention. La perle en hommes fut considérable pour eux et leurs alliés; mais le nombre des armes prises par l’ennemi fut plus grand encore; car parmi ceux qui avaient été forcés de se jeter dans les précipices en se débarrassant de leurs armes et de leurs boucliers, les uns avaient péri, d’autres s’étaient sauvés.

Le lendemain, les Syracusains érigèrent deux trophées : l’un à la montée des Ëpipoles, l’autre à l’endroit où les Béotiens avaient les premiers résisté. Les Athéniens relevèrent leurs morts par composition. La perte, pour eux et leurs alliés, fut considérable ; le nombre des armes prises dépassa de beaucoup celui des morts; en effet, plusieurs soldats avaient jeté leurs boucliers pour être plus légers dans leur fuite.

[1] On the next day the Syracusans set up two trophies on Epipolae, one where the Athenian ascent was made, the other at the place where the Boeotians made the first resistance; and the Athenians recovered their dead under truce.

[2] Not a few were killed, both of the Athenians and their allies; the arms taken, however, were out of all proportion to the dead, for while some of those who were forced to leap down the bluffs perished, some escaped.

[1] The next day the Syracusans erected two trophies, one on Epipolae, where the enemy's approaches had been made, and the other on the spot where the Boeotians first withstood them; while the Athenians recovered their dead under truce.

[2] No few were killed, both of themselves and their allies, though still more arms were taken than in proportion to the number of the dead: for of those who were compelled to leap down the cliffs unencumbered by their shields, though some perished, yet others escaped with their lives.

Il giorno appresso i Siracusani ersero due trofei, uno sull’ Epipole ove era salito il nemico, l’altro nel luogo ove i Beozii aveano i primi fatto resistenza. Gli Ateniesi riebbero i cadaveri con salvocondotto. Molti furono i morti di loro e degli alleati, e le armi prese furono in maggior quantità de9 cadaveri , perchè di quelli astretti a saltar giù da’dirupati, scossi degli scudi, alcuni perirouo, alcuni si salvarono.
