35. ἐπ᾽ ἄρχοντος δ᾽ Ἀθήνησι
Κράτητος Ῥωμαῖοι κατέστησαν ὑπάτους Κόιντον Φούριον Φοῦσον καὶ
Μάνιον Παπίριον Κράσσον. ἐπὶ δὲ τούτων κατὰ τὴν Ἰταλίαν οἱ τοὺς
Θουρίους οἰκοῦντες, ἐκ πολλῶν πόλεων συνεστηκότες, ἐστασίαζον πρὸς
ἀλλήλους, ποίας πόλεως ἀποίκους δεῖ καλεῖσθαι τοὺς Θουρίους καὶ
τίνα κτίστην δίκαιον ὀνομάζεσθαι.
[2]
οἵ τε
γὰρ Ἀθηναῖοι τῆς ἀποικίας ταύτης ἠμφισβήτουν, ἀποφαινόμενοι
πλείστους οἰκήτορας ἐξ Ἀθηνῶν ἐληλυθέναι, οἵ τε Πελοποννήσιοι,
πόλεις οὐκ ὀλίγας παρεσχημέναι παρ᾽ αὑτῶν εἰς τὴν κτίσιν τῶν
Θουρίων, τὴν ἐπιγραφὴν τῆς ἀποικίας ἑαυτοῖς ἔφησαν δεῖν
προσάπτεσθαι.
[3]
ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ πολλῶν
ἀγαθῶν ἀνδρῶν κεκοινωνηκότων τῆς ἀποικίας καὶ πολλὰς χρείας
παρεσχημένων, πολὺς ἦν ὁ λόγος, ἑκάστου τῆς τιμῆς ταύτης σπεύδοντος
τυχεῖν. τέλος δὲ τῶν Θουρίων πεμψάντων εἰς Δελφοὺς τοὺς
ἐπερωτήσοντας τίνα χρὴ τῆς πόλεως οἰκιστὴν ἀγορεύειν, ὁ θεὸς
ἔχρησεν αὑτὸν δεῖν κτίστην νομίζεσθαι. τούτῳ τῷ τρόπῳ λυθείσης
τῆς ἀμφισβητήσεως τὸν Ἀπόλλω κτίστην τῶν Θουρίων ἀπέδειξαν, καὶ
τὸ πλῆθος τῆς στάσεως ἀπολυθὲν εἰς τὴν προϋπάρχουσαν ὁμόνοιαν
ἀποκατέστη.
[4]
κατὰ δὲ τὴν Ἑλλάδα
Ἀρχίδαμος ὁ τῶν Λακεδαιμονίων βασιλεὺς ἐτελεύτησεν ἄρξας ἔτη
τετταράκοντα δύο, τὴν δὲ ἀρχὴν διαδεξάμενος Ἆγις ἐβασίλευσεν ἔτη
εἴκοσι ἑπτά.
