Passage 8.52.3
Ξάνθιππος δὲ ὁ Ἀρίφρονος καὶ Κίμων, ὁ μὲν ὁμοῦ Λεωτυχίδῃ τῷ βασιλεύοντι ἐν Σπάρτῃ τὸ Μήδων ναυτικὸν ἔφθειρεν ἐν Μυκάλῃ, Κίμωνι δὲ πολλὰ καὶ ἄξια ζήλου κατειργασμένα ἐστὶν ὑπὲρ τῶν Ἑλλήνων. τοὺς δὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ Πελοποννησιακοῦ πρὸς Ἀθηναίους πολέμου, καὶ μάλιστα αὐτῶν τοὺς εὐδοκιμήσαντας, φαίη τις ἂν αὐτόχειρας καὶ ὅτι ἐγγύτατα καταποντιστὰς εἶναι σφᾶς τῆς Ἑλλάδος.
Xanthippus, the son of Ariphron, along with King Leotychides of Sparta, destroyed the Persian fleet at Mycale, while Cimon achieved many exploits worthy of admiration on behalf of the Greeks. But as for those who led the Athenians during the Peloponnesian war, someone might readily call them responsible for bringing ruin and nearly drowning all Greece, especially those among them who enjoyed the greatest reputation.
