    Original Text :ἀποτειχιζομένης δὲ τῆς Χαλκηδόνος ἐκ θαλάττης εἰς θάλατταν, ὁ Φαρνάβαζος ἧκεν ὡς λύσων τὴν πολιορκίαν, καὶ Ἱπποκράτης ὁ ἁρμοστὴς ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἐξαγαγὼν τὴν σὺν αὑτῷ δύναμιν ἐπεχείρει τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις. ὁ δ᾽ Ἀλκιβιάδης ἅμα πρὸς ἀμφοτέρους ἀντιτάξας τὸ στράτευμα, τὸν μὲν Φαρνάβαζον αἰσχρῶς φεύγειν ἠνάγκασε, τὸν δ᾽ Ἱπποκράτη διέφθειρε καὶ συχνοὺς τῶν περὶ αὐτὸν ἡττηθέντας.
     
    Translation :While Chalcedon was being walled in from sea to sea, Pharnabazus came to raise the siege, and at the same time Hippocrates, the Spartan governor, led his forces out of the city and attacked the Athenians. But Alcibiades arrayed his army so as to face both enemies at once, put Pharnabazus to shameful flight, and slew Hippocrates together with many of his vanquished men.
