Passage 6.3.16: Bronze statues of Conon and Timotheus at Samos and Ephesus

Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

μεταπεσόντων δὲ αὖθις τῶν πραγμάτων καὶ Κόνωνος κεκρατηκότος τῇ ναυμαχίᾳ περὶ Κνίδον καὶ ὄρος τὸ Δώριον ὀνομαζόμενον, οὕτω μετεβάλλοντο οἱ Ἴωνες, καὶ Κόνωνα ἀνακείμενον χαλκοῦν καὶ Τιμόθεον ἐν Σάμῳ τε ἔστιν ἰδεῖν παρὰ τῇ Ἥρᾳ καὶ ὡσαύτως ἐν Ἐφέσῳ παρὰ τῇ Ἐφεσίᾳ θεῷ. ταῦτα μέν ἐστιν ἔχοντα οὕτω τὸν ἀεὶ χρόνον, καὶ Ἴωσιν ὡσαύτως οἱ πάντες ἄνθρωποι θεραπεύουσι τὰ ὑπερέχοντα τῇ ἰσχύι.

English Translation

When later the situation reversed again, and Conon had secured victory in the naval battle around Cnidus and the mountain called Dorion, the Ionians likewise altered their stance. Bronze statues of Conon and Timotheus may be seen set up at Samos near the temple of Hera, as well as similarly at Ephesus near the sanctuary of the Ephesian goddess. These circumstances always remain thus, and likewise all people continually honor whatever surpasses them in power.
