Translation
Son of Miltiades,1 he led an expedition as general against the barbarians who had come down [sc. to the coast] with Themistokles.2 He sailed to Cyprus and Pamphylia and waged war, and he was victorious at the Eurymedon River on both land and sea in the same day.3 This man also [sc. later] assigned territorial limitations to the barbarians: no Persian ship was to sail beyond the Kyaneaian and Chelidonian [islands] and Phaselis -- a city in Pamphylia -- in military action4, nor were Persian kings to travel within a day's ride of the sea; and the Greeks were to be autonomous, including those in Asia.5 He died in Kition in Cyprus.6
