A few days later, Kunogelata that the bed recuperates heard a matter: Some slaves in Thurii quarry have the rebellion, overthrew guarded their guards, fled Thurii, including some slaves escaped unexpectedly the Amendolara request protection, but the Thurii envoy also rushed, requesting Amendolara to send back the slaves. 几天后,卧床休养的库诺戈拉塔听闻了一件事:图里伊石矿的一部分奴隶发生暴动,打倒了看守他们的卫兵,逃离了图里伊,其中有一部分奴隶居然逃到了阿门多拉腊请求保护,而图里伊使者也随后赶到,要求阿门多拉腊将奴隶们送回去。 At this moment in Amendolara council, the Thurii envoy and escapes the slave to represent is glowering. 此刻在阿门多拉腊的元老院,图里伊使者和逃亡奴隶代表正怒目而视。 Plesinas, Thurii new general, if Kunogelata here, he will certainly recognize this person is to instigate the Thurii people expels one of his main pulling strings, at this moment he facing the Amendolara senior statesmen, the loud accusation said: „Amendolara is the Thurii union, treats the envoys in allied country like this?! Let a humble slave and Thurii noble general stands, this is to the Thurii shame! If Amendolara the request to Thurii does not make the response of good intentions, Thurii will reconsider with the Amendolara treaty of alliance!” 普莱辛纳斯,图里伊新任的将军,如果库诺戈拉塔在这里,他一定会认出这人就是煽动图里伊民众驱逐他的主要指使者之一,此刻他面对阿门多拉腊的元老们,大声指责道:“阿门多拉腊是图里伊的同盟,难道就是这样对待盟邦的使者吗？！让一个身份低下的奴隶和图里伊高贵的将军站在一起,这是对图里伊的羞辱！如果阿门多拉腊不对图里伊的要求做出善意的回应,图里伊将重新考虑与阿门多拉腊的盟约！” Such remarks, senior statesmen in an uproar that on the conference site wooden chair sits. 此言一出,会场木椅上坐着的元老们一片哗然。 At this time, supervised officer Antonios to stand saying: „The respectable Thurii envoy, the request about Thurii, we have not started to discuss. You, as soon as comes, arrived at the conference site center on own initiative. Forgot to remind you, your position here.” Before Antonios is pointing at the conference site, sends a side position: „I think, the noble envoy from Thurii should know the diplomatic etiquette of city-state compared with us, in has not obtained in the situation of permitting, outside the nation envoys should keep quiet.” 这时,监察官安东尼奥斯站起来说道:“尊敬的图里伊使者,关于图里伊的要求,我们还未开始讨论。没想到,你一进来,就主动走到了会场中央。忘了提醒你,你的位置在这里。”安东尼奥斯指着会场前派侧面的一个位置:“我想,来自图里伊的高贵使者应该更比我们知道城邦的外交礼仪,在未获得允许的情况下,外邦使者是应该保持安静的。” The senior statesmen send out one to laugh. 元老们发出一阵哄笑。 Plesinas is not awkward, disregarded is pointing at that slave , to continue to say loudly: „I have not heard among city-state to discuss major issue time, will make a slave audit! Amendolara city-state council is how sacred place, how can make a humble slave blaspheme!” 普莱辛纳斯一点儿也不尴尬,不管不顾的指着那名奴隶,继续大声说道:“我也没听说过城邦之间讨论重大问题的时候,会让一个奴隶旁听！阿门多拉腊城邦元老院是多么神圣的地方,怎么能让一个低贱的奴隶亵渎呢！” „This is because as escaping the representative of Amendolara slave, the request that he set related to Amendolara and Thurii, I think it was necessary to make him say his request again, making our these noble people come a fair discussion, judged that his request was whether reasonable. Then, respectable Thurii envoy, you whether prepares to stand there, keeping our conferences from formally starting?!” Sits is passing a dignity in the conference site forefront middle Davos tranquil tone, causes Plesinas resentful sitting to own seat on. “这是因为作为逃亡到阿门多拉腊奴隶的代表,他提出的要求关系到阿门多拉腊和图里伊,我认为有必要再次让他说出他的要求,让我们这些高贵的人来一个公正的讨论,判断他的要求是否合理。那么,尊敬的图里伊使者,你是否准备一直站在那里,让我们的会议无法正式开始？！”坐在会场最前面中间的戴弗斯平静的语气透着一股威严,使得普莱辛纳斯悻悻的坐到自己的座位上。 „Slave, you can say your requests now.” council rotating president- city chief executive Cornelius said loudly. “奴隶,现在你可以说出你们的要求。”元老院轮值主席-城市行政长官科尔内鲁斯大声说道。 That slave respectful saluting, said: „Fellow Sirs of respect, my name were Yaris Dockwra bottom. First what I want to explain, I since birth am not lowly. My father is a Cyrenaica aristocrat, mainly operates Hill Fion grass, there are over a hundred slaves and very big farm. Eight years ago, my father leads me to travel by boat to go to Olympia to watch the games, ran into the pirate...... my father...... the father to be killed...... me to be sold Thurii on the way of the navigation......” 那名奴隶恭敬的行礼,说道:“尊敬的各位大人,我叫亚里斯多克拉底。首先我想说明的是,我并非生来卑贱。我父亲是昔兰尼加的一名贵族,主要经营西尔菲翁草,有上百名奴隶和很大的农场。八年前,我父亲带我坐船去奥林匹亚观看运动会,在航行途中遇到了海盗……我的父亲……父亲被杀死……我被卖到了图里伊……” Yaris Dockwra bottom deeply inspires, surges the heart in suppresses sadly , to continue saying: „Although encounters the misfortune, but I too had not complained, perhaps this is various God to my punishment. The work that in Thurii, I fulfill duty to fulfill responsibility the completion master who give, has not idled...... two months ago, city-state gathers us, detained the mercenaries camp, the Sir you stood before us, summoned that we fought for Thurii.” Yaris Dockwra bottom toward Davos respectful good a ritual: „You added ‚, so long as wins, we will gain the freedom!’ For free, never took us of weapon to take up the weapon! For the freedom, we who have never killed people battles with fierce Lucanians! But these fierce Lucanians defeated Thurii, but the freedom makes us fearless! We are fearless in battle, victory time, our more than 2000 slaves only had more than 1000 people......” 亚里斯多克拉底深吸了口气,将心中涌起的悲伤压制下去,继续说道:“尽管遭遇不幸,但我并没有太多埋怨,或许这是诸神对我的责罚。在图里伊,我尽职尽责的完成主人交给的工作,从来没有懈怠……直到两个月前,城邦将我们集合起来,押到了雇佣军营地,大人您就站在我们面前,号召我们为图里伊而战。”亚里斯多克拉底朝着戴弗斯又恭敬的行了一礼:“您还说‘只要获得胜利,我们将获得自由！’为了自由,从未拿过武器的我们拿起了武器！为了自由,从未杀过人的我们与凶恶的卢卡尼亚人作战！而正是这些凶恶的卢卡尼亚人打败了图里伊,但自由让我们无所畏惧！我们奋勇作战,战争胜利的时候,我们两千多奴隶只剩下了一千多人……” Yaris Dockwra bottom pumped a nose gently, making the new citizen senior statesmen mind absent-minded, as if places oneself in the fierce combat of that a narrow escape. 亚里斯多克拉底轻轻抽吸了一下鼻子,让新公民元老们心神恍惚,仿佛又置身那场九死一生的激战中。 „We wait for exciting that moment to arrive, if by any chance comes is actually the ice-cold sword and spear! Thurii was saved, but we were escorted back under guard that darkness moist mine shaft , to continue to shoulder the heavy ore. We raised the protest, but welcomed, only then beat mercilessly with is fasted...... when we despaired, we heard a news, initially becomes the freeman with the mercenaries slave who we battled now, moreover in the future might also become the city-state citizen. Why similarly is the slaves, similarly is Thurii fights at risk of life, will have two completely different results! Therefore unwilling we attacked the guard in mine, escapes here, wants to ask the Sir, did you also keep a promise with the name of promising pledge god initially?!” “我们等待激动人心的那一刻到来,但等来的却是冰冷的刀枪！图里伊得救了,而我们则被重新押回到那黑暗潮湿的矿穴,继续背负沉重的矿石。我们提出抗议,但迎来的只有毒打和被禁食……就在我们绝望的时候,我们听到一个消息,当初和我们一起作战的雇佣军奴隶如今都成了自由民,而且将来还有可能成为城邦公民。为什么同样都是奴隶,同样都为图里伊拼死战斗,却会有两种完全不同的结果！所以不甘心的我们袭击了矿场的守卫,逃到这里,就是想请问大人,您当初以神之名许下的誓言还算数吗？！” Yaris Dockwra bottom affection luxuriant told that touched the senior statesmen present, suddenly the conference site is quiet. Only then Plesinas shouted: „He is deceiving people! That group of slaves who they do not participate in the fight!!” 亚里斯多克拉底深情并茂的讲述打动了在座的元老们,一时间会场沉寂。只有普莱辛纳斯大喊:“他在骗人！他们根本就不是参加战斗的那帮奴隶！！” Antonios gets up to say immediately: „About the slave who they participate in the fight, this issue we have the means confirmation. Because the city-state freemen once battled with them together, was together a evening and a daytime, is quite familiar with them. I have made them go to the slave detaining place to conduct the identification, I requested the representative who lets the freeman enters council to testify.” 安东尼奥斯立刻起来说道:“关于他们是不是参加战斗的奴隶,这个问题我们有办法证实。因为城邦的自由民们曾经与他们一起作战,一起相处了一个晚上和一个白天,跟他们较为熟悉。我已让他们去奴隶关押处进行了辨认,我请求让自由民的代表进入元老院作证。” „Agreement!” “同意！” „Agreement!!” “同意！！” The senior statesmen approved, the Plesinas objection was submerged completely. 元老们纷纷赞成,普莱辛纳斯的反对声完全被淹没。 While this idle time, Davos interested looks at this over the face to thickly, on the face has several scabs, the skin is dark, some stature rickets, but also shows the Yaris Dockwra bottom of young appearance vaguely, asked: „You asked a moment ago my words, my a while replied you. I want to ask you now, from you speech, you obviously was a moment ago well-educated, why will become the slave of mining?” Well-educated the slave like Yaris Dockwra bottom, the price is generally very high, will not waste, does the dirty job that the ordinary slave can do, to live painstakingly. 趁这个空闲时间,戴弗斯饶有兴趣的看着这位满面浓须,脸上有几条伤疤,皮肤黝黑,身材有些佝偻,但还依稀透出年轻面目的亚里斯多克拉底,问道:“你刚才问我的话,我一会儿回答你。我现在想问你,从你刚才的说话来看,你明显受过良好的教育,为什么会成为挖矿的奴隶？”像亚里斯多克拉底这样受过良好教育的奴隶,价格一般都很高,绝不会过于浪费,去干只有普通奴隶才会干的脏活、苦活。 Yaris Dockwra bottom forced smile: „I was bought by a Thurii rich merchant at first, helping him manage his vineyard and brewery workshop, I do is very good, is deep his trust, he added that must give me freely...... to be a pity he died of illness...... his wife to get married quickly, my new host offered me to Thurii city-state free of charge, at that time city-state is lacking mines the slave, therefore made me......” 亚里斯多克拉底苦笑:“我最初被图里伊一个富商买下,帮他管理他的葡萄园和酿酒作坊,我干的很好,深得他的信任,他还说要给予我自由……可惜他病死了……他的妻子很快又结了婚,我的新主人就将我免费赠送给了图里伊城邦,那时城邦正缺挖矿奴隶,所以就把我弄去了……” In this definitely some complex inside stories, but looked that Yaris Dockwra bottom is calm, has seen through obviously, the Davos appreciation said one: „I looked that various God is not punishing you, but is exercising you!” 这里面肯定有一些复杂的内情,但看亚里斯多克拉底一脸平静,显然已经看开,戴弗斯赞赏的说了一句:“我看诸神不是在惩罚你,而是在锻炼你！” Yaris Dockwra bottom one hear, the innermost feelings are suddenly excited, he listened to anything from here words obviously. 亚里斯多克拉底一听,内心忽然兴奋起来,他显然从这里话里听出了什么。 At this time, the freeman representative entered the conference site, after facing the Spiritual God took an oath, they said the answer: The slave who these escape truly participated in the fight! 这时,自由民代表进入会场,在面对神灵起誓后,他们说出了答案:这些逃亡的奴隶确实参与了战斗！ Plesinas does not depend on, he stands, refuted: „city-state allows the slave to participate in the fight, this is the common matter! For example Sparta lets Helots frequently and they fights together, the acquired victory is innumerable, did Sparta make Helots gain the freedom? Obviously no! With Thurii and a Amendolara many years of friendship as well as these days busy trade, I think that Davos archon is impossible to make such commitment, this slave is lying obviously! The property of losing gives back to the owner of lost articles, this is the Greeks moral excellence! I request Amendolara council again these slaves who are the Thurii property return Thurii!” 普莱辛纳斯不依,他站起来,反驳道:“城邦让奴隶参与战斗,这是常有的事！比如斯巴达经常让黑劳士和他们一起战斗,获得的胜利数不胜数,难道斯巴达就让黑劳士获得自由了吗？显然没有！凭着图里伊和阿门多拉腊多年的友谊以及这段时间繁忙的贸易往来,我认为戴弗斯执政官也不可能做出那样的承诺,这个奴隶显然是在撒谎！将丢失的财产还给失主,这是希腊人的美德！我再次要求阿门多拉腊元老院将这些本属于图里伊财产的奴隶归还图里伊！” Yaris Dockwra bottom look changes, looks to Davos. 亚里斯多克拉底神色微变,看向戴弗斯。 Davos looks at facial expression arrogant and strong Plesinas, in the heart sneers: This Thurii person a moment ago unexpectedly in vague threat he and Amendolara! 戴弗斯则看着神情倨傲而强硬的普莱辛纳斯,心中冷笑:这个图里伊人刚才居然在隐晦的威胁他和阿门多拉腊！ He stands up, serious said to Yaris Dockwra bottom: „You asked a moment ago my words, I can reply you. My Davos. Commitment that Amendolara archon , makes lifelong like flaming combustion the fire of deep prison, will never extinguish! Right, after I am commitment and other fight victories, gives you to be free! Because you are the Thurii slaves, I asked Burkes to make the testimony, and made him write my commitment on the paper, hurried back to the Thurii city to ask the generals to sign. When commencing of action, Burkes catches up wants to urge us, I to Burkes reiterated initially to your commitments, but I have not thought, to date you are still also hanging the shackles!” 他站起身,神情严肃对亚里斯多克拉底说:“你刚才问我的话,我可以回答你。我戴弗斯。阿门多拉腊终身执政官,所作出的承诺就像熊熊燃烧的冥狱之火一样,永远不会熄灭！没错,我是承诺等战斗胜利后给你们自由！因为你们是图里伊奴隶,我请布尔科斯作了见证,并让他将我的承诺写在纸上,赶回图里伊城请将军们签字。在战斗开始之前,布尔科斯赶来想劝回我们之时,我再次对布尔克斯重申了当初对你们的承诺,但我没有想到,到今天为止你们依然还挂着镣铐！” The Davos expression is painful, he said loudly: „You saved Thurii, Thurii had a deficit you! You helped the mercenaries, Amendolara have a deficit you! I requested the Thurii envoy, please give them to be free!” 戴弗斯表情沉痛,他大声说道:“你们拯救了图里伊,图里伊亏欠了你们！你们帮助了雇佣军,阿门多拉腊也亏欠你们！我请求图里伊使者,请给予他们自由！” Davos finishes speaking, senior statesmen in unison shouts: „Giving them is free! Since you take an oath to the god, should give these pitiful and respectable slave freedoms, the Thurii person!” 戴弗斯话音刚落,元老们齐声喊道:“给予他们自由！既然你们对神起誓,就应该给这些可怜又可敬的奴隶自由,图里伊人！” The Plesinas look is flurried, he acts shamelessly saying: „Thurii has not seen one to their free agreements! I have not seen! Sir Davos, you remembered certainly incorrectly! Right, certainly remembered incorrectly!” 普莱辛纳斯神色慌乱,他耍赖道:“图里伊从来没有见到过一份给他们自由的协议！我也没有见到过！戴弗斯大人,你一定是记错了！对,一定是记错了！” Note: Hill Fion grass, strings together one of the vanilla it is said that in the ancient times was rich in city-state Cyrenaica, as the precious feed of promotion domestic animal birth, and seasoning of food, the most important thing is it can enhance the masculine function it is said that therefore was greatly popular in ancient Mediterranean each country, becomes the pillar industry of Cyrenaica, earned a lot of money, therefore in the money of Cyrenaica casting even was printed with its design. What a pity was Mediterranean needs its male is too many, eventually caused it to become extinct, now could not find the true Hill Fion grass again. 注:西尔菲翁草,据说是串叶松香草的一种,古代盛产于城邦昔兰尼加,作为促进牲畜生育的宝贵饲料,以及食物的调味品,最重要的是据说它可以提高男性的功能,因此在古地中海各个国家中大受欢迎,成为昔兰尼加的支柱产业,赚取了大量的金钱,因此昔兰尼加铸造的钱币上甚至印有它的图案。可惜的是地中海需要它的男性太多了,最终导致它绝种,现在再也找不到真正的西尔菲翁草。
