This seems the most natural interpretation of Thucydides' THUCYDIDES BOOK V I. The next summer the one-year's truce con- 422 b.o. ^ tinued till, and ended with, the Pythian games. During the suspension of arms the Athenians ex- pelled the Delians from Delos, thinking that they had been consecrated "^ while in a state of pollution from some ancient crime, and besides, that they them- selves had been responsible for this defect in the I before purification, in which, as have related, they believed they had acted rightly in removing the coffins of the dead. And the Delians settled, ac- cording as each man chose,^lif Atramytteum in Asia, which had been given them by Pharnaces. II. After the armistice had expired Cleon per- \ suaded the Athenians to let him sail to the cities in Thrace,^' with twelve hundred Athenian hoplites and three hundred cavalry, and a larger force of the first at allies, and thirty ships. And touching Scione, 3 which was still under siege, and taking on from there some hoplites of the garrison, he then sailed down to the port of Cophus, which is not far distant " language, but many editors render The next summer the one-year's truce was ended and war was renewed till the " Pythian games. ^ Referring to their purification and consecration to Apollo four vara before (iii. 107). • " Or, was inclined" («c. oUricrat).

II. 2-ni. 4 from tlie city of Torone. t From there, on learning from deserters tliat Brasidas was not in Torone and that the inhabitants were not a match for him in battle, he advanced with his land-force against the city, but sent ten ships to sail round into the harbour. And first he arrived at the new wall which Brasidas had built round the city for the purpose of taking in the suburb, having pulled down a part of the old wall and made one city of Torone. III. But Pasitelidas, the Lacedaemonian com- ingXlder, and tlie garrison that was present came to the defence of this wall and tried to ward off the Athenian assault. But they were hard pressed and the ships that had been sent round were now sailing into the harbour so in fear that the ; Pasitelidas, ships might take the town, undefended as it was, before he could get there, and that if the new fortifications were carried he might be captured in them, left them and hurried back into the town. Ikit the Athenians from the ships forestalled him and took Torone, and their land force, following close upon him, at the first assault dashed in with him at the breach in the old wall. And they slew some of the Peloponnesiatis and Toronaeaiis on the spot in hand to hand fighting, but others they took alive, inc-luding Pasitelidas the commander. Brasidas meanwhile was cuining to the relief of Torone, but learning on tlie road that it had fallen he retreated, having missed getting there in time by just about forty stadia. Clcon and the ^.theiiiaii.s s( t u|) two trophies, one at the harbour, the other aL the new wall, .uid made slaves of the women and children of tiic Toronacans, but tlie men of Torone along with the PeU)ponnesians, and any that were Chalcidians, all together to the number of THUCYDIDES ^v/x7ravTa<i e? eTTTa/cocrtoi;?, aireire/JL-^av e? ra<i ^AOi]va<i' Kol avToi<i ro fiev UeXoirowTjcnov varepov iv Tat<i jevojuerat^ cnrov8ai<i a'n^rfkOe, to he aWo eKOfxicrdr] vtt ^OXvvOiwv, avrjp avr 5 avhpo^ \v6ei<i. etXov 8e /cal UdvuKTOv 'Adrj- vaicov iv fieOopLoi^ Tel')(pii Bofwrot viro rbv avrov 6 y^povov TTpohoaia. kol 6 jxev KXewv (f)vXaKr)v Karaarrjadixevof; Tr]<; Top(t)i>i]<i dpa<i TrepiiTrXei "Ad(oi> Tov ft)? eVl Tr)v 'A/j,(f)i7ro\iv. * TV. ^aia^ 8e o Epacria-Tpdrov Tpiro^; avTO<; ^AOrjvaiwv Tre/jbTTOvTcov vavcrl 8vo e?

There, how- ever, the Peloponnesians were afterwards set free in the treaty that was made, but the rest were brought back by the Olynthians, being ransomed man for man.^ About the same time Panactum, a fortress on the frontier of Attica, was betrayed to the Boeotians. As for Cleon, after setting a guard over Torone, he weighed anchor and sailed round Athos with a view to attacking Amphipolis. IV. About the same time Phaeax son of Flrasistratus and two others were sent by the Athenians witli two ships on a mission to Italy ariH Sicily .
