57. ἅμα δὲ τούτοις πραττομένοις ἐν τῇ
Κερκύρᾳ μεγάλη συνέστη στάσις καὶ φιλοτιμία διὰ τοιαύτας αἰτίας. ἐν
τῷ περὶ Ἐπίδαμνον πολέμῳ πολλοὶ Κερκυραίων αἰχμάλωτοι γενόμενοι
καὶ καταβληθέντες εἰς τὴν δημοσίαν φυλακὴν ἐπηγγείλαντο τοῖς
Κορινθίοις παραδώσειν τὴν Κέρκυραν, ἐὰν αὐτοὺς ἀπολύσωσιν.
[2]
ἀσμένως δὲ τῶν Κορινθίων
προσδεξαμένων τοὺς λόγους, οἱ Κερκυραῖοι προσποιηθέντες λύτρα διδόναι
διηγγυήθησαν ὑπὸ τῶν προξένων ἱκανῶν τινων ταλάντων ἀφεθέντες.
[3]
καὶ τηροῦντες τὴν τῶν ὡμολογημένων
πίστιν, ὡς κατήντησαν εἰς τὴν πατρίδα, τοὺς δημαγωγεῖν εἰωθότας καὶ
μάλιστα τοῦ πλήθους προΐστασθαι συλλαβόντες ἀπέσφαξαν. καταλύσαντες δὲ
τὴν δημοκρατίαν, μετ᾽ ὀλίγον χρόνον Ἀθηναίων βοηθησάντων τῷ δήμῳ,
οἱ μὲν Κερκυραῖοι τὴν ἐλευθερίαν ἀνακτησάμενοι κολάζειν ἐπεβάλοντο
τοὺς τὴν ἐπανάστασιν πεποιημένους: οὗτοι δὲ φοβηθέντες τὴν τιμωρίαν
κατέφυγον ἐπὶ τοὺς τῶν θεῶν βωμοὺς καὶ ἱκέται τοῦ δήμου καὶ τῶν
θεῶν ἐγένοντο.
[4]
οἱ δὲ Κερκυραῖοι διὰ
τὴν πρὸς θεοὺς εὐσέβειαν τῆς μὲν τιμωρίας αὐτοὺς ἀπέλυσαν, ἐκ τῆς
πόλεως δὲ ἐξέπεμψαν. οὗτοι δὲ πάλιν νεωτερίζειν ἐπιβαλόμενοι καὶ
τειχίσαντες ἐν τῇ νήσῳ χωρίον ὀχυρὸν ἐκακοποίουν τοὺς Κερκυραίους.
ταῦτα μὲν οὖν ἐπράχθη κατὰ τοῦτον τὸν ἐνιαυτόν.
