Transcription:

πεμψαν, ἦ μὴν εὔεσθαι ξυμμάχους αὐ-
τονόμους οὓς ἂν προσαγάγηται, οὕτω

στερον καὶ Στάγειρος ἀνδρέων ἀποικία
ξυναπέστη· ταῦτα μὲν οὖν ἐν τῷ θέρει

χειμῶνος ἐυθὺς ἀρχομένου ὡς τῷ Ἱπ-
ποκράτει καὶ Δημοσθένει στρατηγοῖς

It was in the first days of the winter following [...] into the hands of the Athenian generals, Hippocrates and Demosthenes [...]"
