[3] This disaster befell Skotoussa when Phrasikleides was archon [ arkhōn] in Athens, in the hundred and second Olympiad, when Damon of Thourioi was victor for the second time and in the second year of this Olympiad. The people that escaped remained but for a while, for later they too were forced by their destitution to leave the city, when the superhuman force [ daimōn] brought a second calamity in the war with Macedonia.
