Translation
Thucydides [writes]: "cutting down trees out of Kithairon they were building a construction across on each side in mat-style, positioning it instead of walls, so that the bank of earth not be spread out over a great space."1 And elsewhere: "and the Corcyreans, after they loaded the bodies onto wagons in mat-style, heaped them outside the city."2
Greek original · Adler’s text
Φορμηδόν· Θουκυδίδης· ξύλα τέμνοντες ἐκ τοῦ Κιθαιρῶνος παρῳκοδόμουν ἑκατέρωθεν φορμηδόν. ἀντὶ τοίχων τιθέντες, ὅπως μὴ διαχέοιτο ἐπιπολὺ τὸ χῶμα. καὶ αὖθις· καὶ τοὺς νεκροὺς οἱ Κερκυραῖοι φορμηδὸν ἐπὶ ἁμάξας ἐπιβαλόντες ἀπήγαγον ἔξω τῆς πόλεως.
