Gradually growing to be great, and winning the favor of the people, he at last gained the day with his faction over that of Aristides, and procured his banishment by ostracism. When the king of Persia was now advancing against Greece, and the Athenians were in consultation who should be general, and many withdrew themselves of their own accord, being terrified with the greatness of the danger, there was one Epicydes, a popular speaker, son to Euphemides, a man of an eloquent tongue, but of a faint heart, and a slave to riches, who was desirous of the command, and was looked upon to be in a fair way to carry it by the number of votes; but Themistocles, fearing that, if the command should fall into such hands, all would be lost, bought off Epicydes and his pretensions, it is said, for a sum of money.

白话
地米斯托克利逐渐壮大、赢得民众支持,最终率派系压过阿里斯提德,用陶片放逐法把他赶走。波斯国王进攻希腊时,雅典人商议谁当将军,许多人因危险巨大而主动退出。有个叫厄庇库德斯的煽动型演说家想当统帅,他口才好但胆小、贪财,眼看票数要赢;地米斯托克利怕大权落入这种人之手会全盘皆输,便花钱买通他放弃竞选。
上下文
普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》记述波斯战争前夕雅典内部权力斗争,陶片放逐法与民主投票的弊端在此显现。
