[3] When Philomēlos put all this before them, the men of Phokis were not unwilling, either because their judgment was blinded by the god [ theos], or because their nature was to put gain before reverence-for-what-is-sacred [ eu-sebeia]. The seizure of Delphi by the men of Phokis occurred when Hērakleidēs was president [ prutanis] at Delphi and Agathokles was archon [ arkhōn] in Athens, in the fourth year of the hundred and fifth Olympiad, when Prōros of Cyrene was victorious in the foot-race.

[3] When Philomelus put all this before them, the Phocians were nothing loath, either because their judgment was blinded by heaven, or because their nature was to put gain before religion. The seizure of Delphi by the Phocians occurred when Heracleides was president at Delphi and Agathocles archon at Athens , in the fourth year of the hundred and fifth Olympiad,¹ when Prorus of Cyrene was victorious in the foot-race.
