Meanwhile Sitacles opened negotiations with
Perdiccas on the objects of his expedition; and finding that the Athenians, not believing that he would come, did not
appear with their fleet, though they sent presents and envoys, despatched a
large part of his army against the Chalcidians and Bottiaeans, and cutting
them up inside their walls laid waste their country.
[2]
While he remained in these parts, the people farther south, such as the
Thessalians, and the Hellenes as far as Thermopylae, all feared that the
army might advance against them, and prepared accordingly.
[3]
These fears were shared by the Thracians beyond the Strymon to the north,
who inhabited the plains, such as the Panaeans, the Odomanti, the Droi and
the Dersaeans, all of whom are independent.
[4]
It was even matter of conversation among the Hellenes who were enemies of
Athens whether he might not be invited by his ally to advance also against
them.
[5]
Meanwhile he held Chalcidice and Bottice and Macedonia, and was ravaging
them all; but finding that he was not succeeding in any of the objects of his
invasion, and that his army was without provisions and was suffering from
the severity of the season, he listened to the advice of Seuthes, son of
Sparadocus, his nephew and highest officer, and decided to retreat without
delay.
This Seuthes had been secretly gained by Perdiccas by the promise of his
sister in marriage with a rich dowry.
[6]
In accordance with this advice, and after a stay of thirty days in all,
eight of which were spent in Chalcidice, he retired home as quickly as he
could; and Perdiccas afterwards gave his sister Stratonice to Seuthes as he had
promised.
Such was the history of the expedition of Sitalces.
