These, when they saw men arming themselves, fell into wonder, for they were expecting that no one would appear to oppose them, and instead of that they had met with an armed force. Then Hydarnes, seized with fear lest the Phokians should be Lacedemonians, asked Epialtes of what people the force was; and being accurately informed he set the Persians in order for battle.
Persiarrak nahasita gelditu ziren armak ipintzen ari ziren soldadu haiek ikustean, bidean oztoporik aurkitzerik espero ez eta gudaroste armatu batekin egin baitzuten topo. Orduan Hydarnesek, phozear haiek lazedemondarrak ote ziren beldurrez, ea gudarosteok zein naziotakoak ziren galdetu zion Epialtesi, eta, horren berri zehatza jaso ondoren, borroka-lerroan jarri zituen persiarrak.
