63. χρονιζούσης δὲ τῆς πολιορκίας, καὶ τῶν Ἀθηναίων ταῖς ναυσὶν
ἐπικρατησάντων καὶ σῖτον εἰς τὴν γῆν εἰσκομίζειν κωλυόντων,
ἐκινδύνευον οἱ κατειλημμένοι ἐν τῇ νήσῳ τῷ λιμῷ διαφθαρῆναι.
[2]
διόπερ οἱ Λακεδαιμόνιοι φοβηθέντες
περὶ τῶν ἀπειλημμένων ἐν τῷ νήσῳ, πρεσβείας ἀπέστειλαν εἰς τὰς
Ἀθήνας περὶ τῆς καταλύσεως τοῦ πολέμου: οὐ συγκατατιθεμένων δ᾽ αὐτῶν
ἠξίουν ἀλλαγὴν ποιήσασθαι τῶν ἀνδρῶν καὶ λαβεῖν τοὺς ἴσους τῶν
Ἀθηναίων τῶν ἑαλωκότων: ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ τοῦτο συνεχώρησαν οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι.
διόπερ οἱ πρέσβεις παρρησίαν ἤγαγον ἐν ταῖς Ἀθήναις ὡς ὁμολογοῦσι
Λακεδαιμονίους κρείττους εἶναι, μὴ βουλόμενοι τὴν ἀντίδοσιν τῶν
αἰχμαλώτων ποιήσασθαι.
[3]
οἱ δ᾽ Ἀθηναῖοι
τῇ σπάνει τῶν ἀναγκαίων καταπονήσαντες τοὺς ἐν τῇ Σφακτηρίᾳ
παρέλαβον αὐτοὺς καθ᾽ ὁμολογίαν. ἦσαν δ᾽ οἱ παραδόντες αὑτοὺς
Σπαρτιᾶται μὲν ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι, τῶν δὲ συμμάχων ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα.
[4]
οὗτοι μὲν οὖν ὑπὸ Κλέωνος τοῦ
δημαγωγοῦ στρατηγοῦντος τότε δεθέντες ἤχθησαν εἰς τὰς Ἀθήνας: ὁ δὲ
δῆμος ἐψηφίσατο αὐτοὺς φυλάττειν, ἐὰν βούλωνται Λακεδαιμόνιοι λῦσαι
τὸν πόλεμον, ἐὰν δὲ προκρίνωσι τὸ πολεμεῖν, τότε πάντας τοὺς
αἰχμαλώτους ἀποκτεῖναι.
[5]
μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα
τῶν ἐν Ναυπάκτῳ κατῳκισμένων Μεσσηνίων μεταπεμψάμενοι τοὺς ἀρίστους
καὶ τῶν ἄλλων συμμάχων τοὺς ἱκανοὺς προσθέντες, τούτοις παρέδωκαν
τὴν Πύλον φρουρεῖν: ἐνόμιζον γὰρ τοὺς Μεσσηνίους διὰ τὸ πρὸς τοὺς
Σπαρτιάτας μῖσος ἐκθυμότατα κακοποιήσειν τὴν Λακωνικήν, ὁρμωμένους
ἐξ ὀχυροῦ χωρίου. καὶ τὰ μὲν κατὰ τὴν Πύλον ἐν τούτοις ἦν.
