Book 8
128.2
Timoxenus' plot to betray +Potidaea (deserted settlement), Chalcidice, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Potidaea was, however, discovered, for Artabazus in shooting an arrow to the place agreed upon, missed it and hit the shoulder of a man of +Potidaea (deserted settlement), Chalcidice, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Potidaea. A throng gathered quickly around the man when he was struck (which is a thing that always happens in war), and they straightway took the arrow, found the letter, and carried it to their generals; the rest of their allies of +Pallene [23.8833,38.05] (Perseus) Pallene were also there present.
128.3
The generals read the letter and perceived who was the traitor, but they resolved for +Scione [23.55,39.95] (Perseus) Scione's sake that they would not condemn Timoxenus with a charge of treason, for fear that the people of +Scione [23.55,39.95] (Perseus) Scione should hereafter be called traitors.
129.1
This is how Timoxenus' treachery was brought to light. But when Artabazus had besieged +Potidaea (deserted settlement), Chalcidice, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Potidaea for three months, there was a great ebb-tide in the sea which lasted for a long while, and when the foreigners saw that the sea was turned to a marsh, they prepared to pass over it into +Pallene [23.8833,38.05] (Perseus) Pallene.
