65. τούτων δὲ πραττομένων Μεγαρεῖς μὲν Νίσαιαν ὑπ᾽
Ἀθηναίους οὖσαν εἷλον, Ἀθηναῖοι δ᾽ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἀπέστειλαν
Λεωτροφίδην καὶ Τίμαρχον μετὰ μὲν πεζῶν χιλίων, ἱππέων δὲ
τετρακοσίων. οἷς οἱ Μεγαρεῖς ἀπαντήσαντες μετὰ τῶν ὅπλων πανδημεὶ
καὶ παραλαβόντες τινὰς τῶν ἐκ Σικελίας, παρετάξαντο πρὸς τοῖς λόφοις
τοῖς Κέρασι καλουμένοις:
[2]
τῶν δ᾽
Ἀθηναίων λαμπρῶς ἀγωνισαμένων, καὶ πολλαπλασίους ὄντας τοὺς
πολεμίους τρεψαμένων, Μεγαρέων ἔπεσον μὲν πολλοί, τῶν δὲ
Λακεδαιμονίων εἴκοσι μόνον: οἱ γὰρ Ἀθηναῖοι βαρέως φέροντες ἐπὶ
τῷ τὴν Νίσαιαν κατειλῆφθαι τοὺς μὲν Λακεδαιμονίους οὐκ ἐδίωξαν,
πρὸς δὲ τοὺς Μεγαρεῖς χαλεπῶς διακείμενοι παμπληθεῖς ἀνεῖλον.
[3]
Λακεδαιμόνιοι δὲ Κρατησιππίδαν
ἑλόμενοι ναύαρχον, καὶ παρὰ τῶν συμμάχων ναῦς αὑτῶν πληρώσαντες
εἴκοσι πέντε, προσέταξαν παραβοηθεῖν τοῖς συμμάχοις. οὗτος δὲ χρόνον
μέν τινα περὶ τὴν Ἰωνίαν διέτριψεν οὐθὲν ἄξιον λόγου πράξας: μετὰ
δὲ ταῦτα παρὰ τῶν ἐκ Χίου φυγάδων λαβὼν χρήματα κατήγαγεν αὐτοὺς
καὶ τὴν ἀκρόπολιν τῶν Χίων κατελάβετο.
[4]
οἱ δὲ κατελθόντες τῶν Χίων τοὺς ἀντιπολιτευομένους αὐτοῖς καὶ τῆς
ἐκπτώσεως αἰτίους ὄντας εἰς ἑξακοσίους τὸν ἀριθμὸν ὄντας
ἐφυγάδευσαν. οὗτοι δὲ τῆς ἀντιπέραν ἠπείρου χωρίον Ἀταρνέα
καλούμενον κατελάβοντο, σφόδρα τῇ φύσει καθεστηκὸς ὀχυρόν, καὶ τὸ
λοιπὸν ἐκ τούτου τὰς ἀφορμὰς ἔχοντες ἐπολέμουν τοῖς Χίον ἔχουσιν.
