[3] Before turning to a description of the islands, I follow up further on matters having to do with the demes [
dēmoi] [of Attica]. There is a deme [
dēmos] called Marathon, equally distant from the city [
polis] of the Athenians and from Karystos in Euboea. It was at this point in Attica that the barbarians landed, were defeated [
krateîsthai] in battle, and lost some of their ships as they were trying to pull away [from the shore].

On the plain [
pedíon] is the tomb [
taphos] of the Athenians, and upon it are slabs [
stēlai] with [inscriptions of] the names of those killed, organized by way of their subdivisions [
phūlai]; and there is another tomb for the men of Plataea from Boeotia and also for the slaves. I say-this-because [
gar] slaves too fought there, and it was the first time that this happened.

πρὶν δὲ ἢ τῶν νήσων ἐς ἀφήγησιν τραπέσθαι, τὰ ἐς τοὺς δήμους ἔχοντα αὖθις ἐπέξειμι. δῆμός ἐστι Μαραθὼν ἴσον τῆς πόλεως τῶν Ἀθηναίων ἀπέχων καὶ Καρύστου τῆς ἐν Εὐβοίᾳ· ταύτῃ τῆς Ἀττικῆς ἔσχον οἱ βάρβαροι καὶ μάχῃ τε ἐκρατήθησαν καί τινας ὡς ἀνήγοντο ἀπώλεσαν τῶν νεῶν. τάφος δὲ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ Ἀθηναίων ἐστίν, ἐπὶ δὲ αὐτῷ στῆλαι τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἀποθανόντων κατὰ φυλὰς ἑκάστων ἔχουσαι, καὶ ἕτερος Πλαταιεῦσι Βοιωτῶν καὶ δούλοις· ἐμαχέσαντο γὰρ καὶ δοῦλοι τότε πρῶτον.

Before turning to a description of the islands, I must again proceed with my account of the parishes. There is a parish called Marathon, equally distant from Athens and Carystus in Euboea . It was at this point
in Attica that the foreigners landed, were defeated in battle, and lost some of their vessels as they were putting off from the land. 1 On the plain is the grave of the Athenians, and upon it are slabs giving the names of the killed according to their tribes; and there is another grave for the Boeotian Plataeans and for the slaves, for slaves fought then for the first time by the side of their masters.
