Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War 8.107

[1] The fourth day after this battle, the Athenians that were in Sestos, having hastily prepared their fleet, went to Cyzicus, which was revolted; and espying, as they passed by, the eight galleys come from Byzantium riding under Harpagium and Priapus, set upon them, and having also overcome those that came to their aid from the land, took them. Then coming to Cyzicus, being an open town, they brought it again into their own power and levied a sum of money amongst them.

[2] The Peloponnesians in the meantime, going from Abydos to Elaeus, recovered as many of their galleys [formerly] taken as remained whole; the rest the Elaeusians [had] burnt. They also sent Hippocrates and Epicles into Euboea to fetch away the fleet that was there.

[1] On the fourth day after the sea-fight the Athenians in Sestos having hastily refitted their ships sailed against Cyzicus , which had revolted. Off Harpagium and Priapus they sighted at anchor the eight vessels from Byzantium , and sailing up and routing the troops on shore, took the ships, and then went on and recovered the town of Cyzicus , which was unfortified, and levied money from the citizens.

[2] In the meantime the Peloponesians sailed from Abydos to Elaeus, and recovered such of their captured galleys as were still uninjured, the rest having been burned by the Elaeusians, and sent Hippocrates and Epicles to Euboea to fetch the squadron from that island.

Am vierten Tage nach der Seeschlacht, als die Athener
ihre Schiffe bei Sestos in aller Eile wieder in Stand gesetzt hatten,
gingen sie in See gegen das abgefallene Kyzikos, und als sie bei
Harpagion und Priapos die acht Schiffe von Byzanz vor Anker
liegen sahen, steuerten sie darauf los, besiegten die an'S Land
Gegan genen in einem Gefecht und nahmen die Schiffe weg. Danach er- ¹
schienen sie vor Kyzikos, das keine Mauern hatte, bewogen es wieder
zum Uebertrltt und legten ihnen eine Geldzahlung aus. Zu gleicher
Zeit segelten die Peloponnesier von Abydos nach Elaius, nahmen
diejenigen von ihren Verlornen Schiffen, die noch seetüchtig waren,
mit — die übrigen hatten die Elaiusier verbrannt — und schickten
den Hippokrates und den Epikles nach Euböa, um die Schiffe von
dort herüberzubringen.

CVII. Le quatrième jour après ce combat naval, les Athéniens qui étaient à Sestos, après avoir réparé à la hâte leurs vaisseaux, firent voile pour Cyzique, insurgée contre eux. Ils aperçurent à l’ancre, aux environs d’Harpagion et de Priapos, les huit vaisseaux de Byzance ¹ , voguèrent sur eux, battirent les équipages qui étaient à terre et prirent les bâtiments. Arrivés à Cyzique, qui n’était pas fortifiée, ils la firent rentrer dans la soumission et levèrent sur elle une contribution.

Cependant les Péloponnésiens passèrent d’Abydos à Éléous, et recouvrèrent ceux de leurs vaisseaux pris par l’ennemi qui étaient en bon état. Les autres avaient été brûlés par les Éléousiens. Ils envoyèrent ensuite en Eubée Hippocrates et Épiclès, pour en ramener les vaisseaux qui s’y trouvaient.

Le quatrième jour après ce combat naval, les Athéniens , qui avaient radoubé à la hâte leurs navires, cinglèrent de Sestos vers Cyzique , insurgée contre eux. Ils aperçurent à l’ancre devant Harpagion et Priapos les huit vaisseaux venus de Byzance. Ils fondirent sur eux, défirent les troupes qui étaient débarquées et s'emparèrent de ces bâtiments. Arrivés à Cyzique, ils firent rentrer sous leur obéissance cette ville ouverte et la frappèrent d'une contribution.

Pendant ce temps, les Péloponésiens passèrent d’Abydos à Ëléonte et reprirent ceux de leurs vaisseaux capturés qui étaient encore intacts; les autres avaient été brûlés par les Éléontins. Ils envoyèrent Hippocratès et Épiclès en Eubée pour ramener la flotte qui s’y trouvait.

[1] On the fourth day after the battle, after they had hastily refitted their ships, the Athenians at Sestos sailed against Cyzicus, which had revolted; and descrying the eight ships from Byzantium ¹ lying at anchor off Harpagium and Priapus, they sailed against them, defeated in battle the forces which on shore aided them, and captured the ships. Then going on to Cyzicus, they brought it back into the Athenian alliance, since it had no walls, and levied upon it a fine of money.

[2] Meanwhile the Peloponnesians on their part left Abydus and sailed to Slaeus, where they recovered such of their captured ships as were sound—the Elaeusians had burned the rest—and sent Hippocrates and Epicles to Euboea to fetch the ships that were there.

[1] On the fourth day after the engagement, the Athenians at Sestos having hastily refitted their ships, sailed against Cyzicus, which had revolted. And descrying ¹ the eight ships from Byzantium lying at anchor off Harpagium and Priapus, they attacked them, and took the vessels, after defeating in a battle those who came to help them on shore. On their arrival also at Cyzicus, which was unfortified, they got possession of it again, and levied a contribution from it.

[2] In the mean time the Peloponnesians also sailed front Abydus to Elaeus, and recovered such of their ships as were in sound condition, (the rest having been burnt by the inhabitants,) and then sent Hippocrates and Epicles to Euboea, to fetch the squadron that was there.

[1] Post navale proelium autem quarto die studiose navibus refectis Athenienses apud Sestum morati navigabant adversus Cyzicum, quae defecerat; et conspicati apud Harpagium et Priapum naves octo a Byzantio digressas in ancoris stantes, illuc infesta classe profecti, proelio superatis iis, qui erant in terra, naves ceperunt. Quum autem ad Cyzicum nullis muris munitam pervenissent, eam rursus in suam potestatem redegerunt, et pecunias exegerunt.

[2] Interea vero et Peloponnesii ex Abydo adversus Elaeun-tem navigarunt, et suas naves ckptivas, quotquot erant integra, secum abduxerunt, (ceteras autem Elaeusii concremarunt) et Hippocratem etEpiclem in Euboeam miserunt, ut naves illuc missas adducerent.

Quattro giorni dopo il combattimento navale gli Ateniesi di Sesto risarcite sollecitamente le navi sciolsero sopra Cizico che si era ribellata , e viste ferme sull’ancora , presso Arpagio e Priapo, le otto navi ritornate da Bizanzio, mossero contr’esse, vinsero in battaglia le persone che erano scese a terra ,es’ impadronirono di quelle navi. Quindi pervenuti anche a Cizico che era senza mura la riguadagnarono e ne cavaron denaro. In questo mentre i Peloponnesi da Abido diressero il corso ad Eieunte, e delle loro navi fatte prigioniere ripresero quelle che erano in buono stato (che le altre erano state abbruciate dagli Eieusi), e spedirono nell’Eubea Ippocrate ed Epicle per ricondurne le navi che colà erano.
