I'm stuck with a whole lot of infinitives and participles, in Chase and Phillips lesson 25.
[face=SPIonic]w} cei=n', a)gge&llein Lakedaimoni&oij o#ti th|~de kei&meqa, toi=j kei&nwn r(h&masi peiqo&menoi.[/face]
-- for those who don't have spionic--
w)= cei=n', agge/llein Lakedaimoni/oij o(/ti th|=de kei/meqa, toi=j kei/nwn r(h/masi peiqo/menoi.
The best I tried is:
Oh, foreigner, anouncing(go and telling) the Spartans that we lay ourselves to(surrender?) them, (also tell our) obeying to the sayings of them(their requirements?).
-- Although I cannot handle [face=SPIonic]peiqo/menoi[/face] in nominative properly in this trial translation.
Participles are said to play important roles in ancient greek, but I'm not used to their heavy use.
