Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War 8.30

[1] The same winter the Athenians that were at Samos (for there were now come in thirty-five galleys more from home, with Charminus, Strombichides, and Euctemon, their commanders), having gathered together their galleys, as well those that had been at Chios as all the rest, concluded, distributing to every one his charge by lot, to go lie before Miletus with a fleet, but against Chios to send out both a fleet and an army of landmen.

[2] And they did so. For Strombichides, Onomacles, and Euctemon, with thirty galleys and part of those thousand men of arms that went to Miletus, which they carried along with them in vessels for transportation of soldiers, according to their lot went to Chios; and the rest, remaining at Samos with seventy-four galleys, were masters of the sea, and went to Miletus.

[1] The same winter the Athenians in Samos having been joined by thirty-five more vessels from home under Charminus, Strombichides, and Euctemon, called in their squadron at Chios and all the rest, intending to blockade Miletus with their navy, and to send a fleet and an army against Chios ; drawing lots for the respective services. This intention they carried into effect;

[2] Strombichides, Onamacles, and Euctemon sailing against Chios , which fell to their lot, with thirty ships and a part of the thousand heavy infantry, who had been to Miletus , in transports; while the rest remained masters of the sea with seventy-four ships at Samos , and advanced upon Miletus .

In demselben Winter stießen zu den-Athenern aufSamos
noch, andere fünf und dreißig Schiffe von Haus unter den Feldherrn
Charminos, Strombichides und Euktemon. Danach zogen.sie auch
die Schiffe von Chios und sämmtliche übrigen an sich und.wollten
dann unter sich loosen, um mit einem Theil der Flotte Milet
anzugreifen und gegen Chios sowohl Schiffe, als auch die.Landtruppen zu
schicken.!.Und also thaten sie auch: Strombichides nämlich und
Onomakles und Euktemon, mit dreißig Schiffen und einem Theil der für
Milet bestimmten tausend Schwerbewaffneten ans Transportschiffen,
erloosten für sich Chios und gingen dahin unter Segel, die Andern^)
blieben mit vier und siebzig Schiffen bei Samos zurück, kreuzten.in
jenen Gewässern mit überlegener Macht und versuchten Angriffe auf
Milet.

XXX. Le même hiver, les Athéniens, qui étaient à Samos, reçurent d’Athènes un renfort de trente-cinq vaisseaux, commandés par Charminos, Strombichidès et Euctémon; ils y réunirent ceux de Chio ¹ et tous ceux qu’ils avaient dans ces parages, et résolurent de bloquer Milet par mer en même temps qu’ils enverraient à Chio une flotte et une armée de terre. Le sort devait décider à qui reviendrait chaque expédition; ce qui fut' fait. Strombichidès, Onomaclès et Euctémon, désignés par le sort, cinglèrent vers Chio avec trente-cinq vaisseaux et une partie des mille hoplites envoyés contre Milet, qu’ils embarquèrent sur des transports. Les autres, avec soixante-quatorze bâtiments, restèrent à Samos, maîtres de la mer, et faisant des courses sur Milet.

Le même hiver, les Athéniens, qui étaient à Samos, reçurent (TAthènes un renfort de trente-cinq vaisseaux, commandés par Charminos, Strombichidès et Euctémon. Ils y réunirent ceux qu’ils avaient à Chios et ailleurs, dans le double dessein de bloquer Milet par mer et de diriger contre Chios une attaque combinée. Le sort consulté désigna StromBichidés, Onomaclès et Euctémon pour agir contre Chios. Ils partirent avec trente vaisseaux et des transports chargés d’une portion des mille hoplites qui avaient fait l’expédition de Milet. Les autres généraux, avec soixante-quatorze vaisseaux, restèrent à Samos, maîtres de la mer et faisant des courses contre Milet.

[1] The same winter, when the Athenians in Samos had received from home a reinforcement of thirty-five ships under the command of Charminus, Strombichides and Euctemon, after bringing together their ships which were at Chios and all their other ships, they proposed to blockade Miletus with the fleet and to send a force of ships and infantry against Chios, assigning the commands by lot.

[2] And this they did. Strombichides, Onomacles and Euctemon, with thirty ships and a portion of the thousand hoplites that had come to Miletus, whom they took on transports, sailed against Chios according to their lot, while the others, remaining at Samos with seventy-four ships, controlled the sea and made descents upon Miletus.

[1] The same winter, more ships, to the number of thirty-five, having come from home to join the Athenians at Samos, with Charminus, Strombichides, and Euctemon in command, after collecting those from Chios and all the rest, they determined, having drawn lots for their respective services, to blockade Miletus with their naval force, and to send against Chios both a fleet and army.

[2] And they did so. For Strombichides, Onomacles, and Euctemon, having with them thirty ships, and taking in transports a part of the thousand heavy-armed that had come to Miletus, sailed, according to their lot, against Chios, while the rest, remaining at Samos with seventy-four ships, secured the command of the sea, and advanced upon Miletus.

[1] Eadem autem hieme Athenienses, qui apud Samum agebant, quoniam ad eos praeterea et domo venerant aliae quinque ot triginta naves, et earum duces Charroinus et Strombichides et Euctemon, et navibus ex Chio reliquisque omnibus in unum contractis, volebant belli provincias inter se sortiti, simul et Miletum navalibus copiis obsklere et adversus Chium navales una cum pedestribus copiis mittere. Itaque fecerunt;

[2] nam Strombichides quidem et Ono-maeles et Eucteroon cum triginta navibus, et cum parte gravis armaturae militum, qui ad Miletum venerant, actuariis navigiis ad eos vehendos usi, in Chium sortito navigabant; ceteri vero apud Samum remanentes cum quatuor et septuaginta navibus maris imperium obtinebant, et classis incor-shmibue Miletum infestabant

Nell’ istesso inverno gli Ateniesi che erano a Samo, essendo venuta da Atene una nuova armata di trentacinquc navi capitanate da Carmino , Strombichide ed Euctemone, ed avendo accolte insieme tulle quelle che erano a Chio e le altre, volevano colla flotta bloccar Mileto, c spedir contro Chio forze marittime e terrestri, gittando le sorti per queste due imprese. E così fecero : poiché Strombichide, Onomacle ed Euctemoue, giusta la sorte toccata loro, andarono ad oste a Chio con trenta navi, conducendo di più su barche da carico parte delle soldatesche gravi che erano state a Mileto : gli altri rimasti a Samo, con settantaqnattro navi signoreggiavano il mare ed andavano infestando Mileto.
