ἀμφιλεξάντων δέ τι ἐνταῦθα τῶν τε τοῦ Μένωνος στρατιωτῶν καὶ τῶν τοῦ Κλεάρχου ὁ Κλέαρχος κρίνας ἀδικεῖν τὸν τοῦ Μένωνος πληγὰς ἐνέβαλεν . ὁ δὲ ἐλθὼν πρὸς τὸ ἑαυτοῦ στράτευμα ἔλεγεν · ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ στρατιῶται ἐχαλέπαινον καὶ ὠργίζοντο ἰσχυρῶς τῷ Κλεάρχῳ . τῇ δὲ αὐτῇ ἡμέρᾳ Κλέαρχος ἐλθὼν ἐπὶ τὴν διάβασιν τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἐκεῖ κατασκεψάμενος τὴν ἀγορὰν ἀφιππεύει ἐπὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σκηνὴν διὰ τοῦ Μένωνος στρατεύματος σὺν ὀλίγοις τοῖς περὶ αὐτόν . Κῦρος δὲ οὔπω ἧκεν , ἀλλʼ ἔτι προσήλαυνε . τῶν δὲ Μένωνος στρατιωτῶν ξύλα σχίζων τις ὡς εἶδε Κλέαρχον διελαύνοντα , ἵησι τῇ ἀξίνῃ · καὶ οὗτος μὲν αὐτοῦ ἥμαρτεν . ἄλλος δὲ λίθῳ καὶ ἄλλος , εἶτα πολλοί , κραυγῆς γενομένης .
There
one
of
Menon’s
soldiers
and
one
of
Clearchus’
men
had
some
dispute
,
and
Clearchus
,
deciding
that
Menon’s
man
was
in
the
wrong
,
gave
him
a
flogging
.
The man then went to his own army and told about it , and when his comrades heard of the matter , they took it hard and were exceedingly angry with Clearchus .
On the same day Clearchus , after going to the place where they crossed the river and there inspecting the market , was riding back to his own tent through Menon’s army , having only a few men with him ;
and Cyrus had not yet arrived , but was still on the march toward the place ;
and one of Menon’s soldiers who was splitting wood threw his axe at Clearchus when he saw him riding through the camp . Now this man missed him ,
but another threw a stone at him , and still another , and then , after an outcry had been raised , many .
