Cim. 3.1Quibus rēbus cum ūnus in cīvitāte maximē flōrēret, incidit in eandem invidiam quam pater suus cēterīque Athēniēnsium prīncipēs: nam testārum suffrāgiīs decem annōrum exiliō multātus est.When because of these achievements he alone flourished above all in the state, he fell into the same envy as his father and the other leading men of Athens: for by the votes of potsherds he was punished with ten years' exile. Cim. 3.2Cuius factī celerius Athēniēnsēs quam ipsum paenituit.The Athenians repented of this deed sooner than he did himself. Cim. 3.2Nam cum ille animō fortī invidiae ingrātōrum cīvium cessisset bellumque Lacedaemoniī Athēniēnsibus indīxissent, cōnfestim notae eius virtūtis dēsīderium cōnsecūtum est.For when he had bravely given way to the envy of his ungrateful fellow citizens, and the Spartans had declared war on the Athenians, a longing for his well-known valour at once followed. Cim. 3.3Itaque post annum quīntum, quam expulsus erat, in patriam revocātus est.So in the fifth year after he had been banished he was recalled to his country. Cim. 3.3Ille, quod hospitiō Lacedaemoniōrum ūtēbātur, satius exīstimāns Graeciae cīvitātēs dē contrōversiīs suīs inter sē iūre disceptāre quam armīs contendere, Lacedaemonem suā sponte est profectus pācemque inter duās potentissimās cīvitātēs conciliāvit.Because he enjoyed ties of hospitality with the Spartans, and thought it better for the states of Greece to settle their disputes among themselves by law than to contend by arms, he set out for Sparta of his own accord and brought about peace between the two most powerful states.
Cim. 3.4Post, neque ita multō, Cyprum cum ducentīs nāvibus imperātor missus, cum eius maiōrem partem īnsulae dēvīcisset, in morbum implicitus in oppugnandō oppidō Citiō est mortuus.Not very long afterwards, sent as general to Cyprus with two hundred ships, when he had conquered the greater part of the island, he fell ill and died while besieging the town of Citium.
