105. οἱ δὲ τῶν Ἀθηναίων στρατηγοὶ
πυθόμενοι τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίους πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει πολιορκεῖν Λάμψακον,
συνήγαγόν τε πανταχόθεν τριήρεις καὶ κατὰ σπουδὴν ἀνήχθησαν ἐπ᾽
αὐτοὺς ναυσὶν ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα.
[2]
εὑρόντες δὲ τὴν πόλιν ἡλωκυῖαν, τότε μὲν ἐν Αἰγὸς ποταμοῖς
καθώρμισαν τὰς ναῦς, μετὰ δὲ ταῦτ᾽ ἐπιπλέοντες τοῖς πολεμίοις καθ᾽
ἡμέραν εἰς ναυμαχίαν προεκαλοῦντο. οὐκ ἀνταναγομένων δὲ τῶν
Πελοποννησίων, οἱ μὲν Ἀθηναῖοι διηπόρουν ὅ,τι χρήσωνται τοῖς
πράγμασιν, οὐ δυνάμενοι τὸν πλείω χρόνον ἐκεῖ διατρέφειν τὰς
δυνάμεις.
[3]
Ἀλκιβιάδου δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς
ἐλθόντος καὶ λέγοντος, ὅτι Μήδοκος καὶ Σεύθης οἱ τῶν Θρᾳκῶν
βασιλεῖς εἰσιν αὐτῷ φίλοι, καὶ δύναμιν πολλὴν ὡμολόγησαν δώσειν,
ἐὰν βούληται διαπολεμεῖν τοῖς Λακεδαιμονίοις: διόπερ αὐτοὺς ἠξίου
μεταδοῦναι τῆς ἡγεμονίας, ἐπαγγελλόμενος αὐτοῖς δυεῖν θάτερον, ἢ
ναυμαχεῖν τοὺς πολεμίους ἀναγκάσειν ἢ πεζῇ μετὰ Θρᾳκῶν πρὸς
αὐτοὺς διαγωνιεῖσθαι.
[4]
ταῦτα δὲ ὁ
Ἀλκιβιάδης ἔπραττεν ἐπιθυμῶν δι᾽ ἑαυτοῦ τῇ πατρίδι μέγα τι
κατεργάσασθαι καὶ διὰ τῶν εὐεργεσιῶν τὸν δῆμον ἀποκαταστῆσαι εἰς τὴν
ἀρχαίαν εὔνοιαν. οἱ δὲ τῶν Ἀθηναίων στρατηγοί, νομίσαντες τῶν μὲν
ἐλαττωμάτων ἑαυτοῖς τὴν μέμψιν ἀκολουθήσειν, τὰ δ᾽ ἐπιτεύγματα
προσάψειν ἅπαντας Ἀλκιβιάδῃ, ταχέως αὐτὸν ἐκέλευσαν ἀπιέναι καὶ
μηκέτι προσεγγίζειν τῷ στρατοπέδῳ.
