1At the end of the year the archon in Athens was Euthymenes, and in Rome
instead of consuls three military tribunes were elected, Aulus Sempronius, Lucius Atilius, and
Titus Quinctius. During this year the Corinthians, who had suffered defeat in the sea-battle,
decided to build a more imposing fleet.
[2]
Consequently, having
procured a great amount of timber and hiring shipbuilders from other cities, they set about
with great eagerness building triremes and fabricating arms and missiles of every description;
and, speaking generally, they were making ready all the equipment needed for the war and, in
particular, triremes, of which they were building some from their keels, repairing others which
had been damaged, and requisitioning still others from their allies.
[3]
And since the Cercyraeans were doing the same thing and were not being outdone in
eagerness, it was clear that the war was going to increase greatly in intensity.While these events were taking place the Athenians founded the colony of
Amphipolis, selecting the colonists in part
from their own citizens and in part from garrisons in the neighbourhood.
