Ancient greek translation exercise - narration, meaning of singular *οὔτε*

Question

In First Greek Book by John Williams White following passage is given for reader to translate:

Τισσαφέρνες δέ, ὀ τῆς Καρίας σατράπης, τῷ Κύρῳ πολέμιος ἦν, τότε δὲ οὔτε ἐστράτευεν ἐπ' αὔτε διήρπαζε τὴν χώραν.

I am pretty convinced that:

Τισσαφέρνες δέ, ὀ τῆς Καρίας σατράπης, τῷ Κύρῳ πολέμιος ἦν,

means something like Tissarphernes, satrap of Caria, was warlike to the Cyrus

and

αὔτε διήρπαζε τὴν χώραν

says something like: he had plundered the country again

This leaves me with:

τότε δὲ οὔτε ἐστράτευεν ἐπ'

τότε δὲ - and then

ἐστράτευεν - he advanced with army

ἐπ' is without a noun and maybe means here: apart from [the fact that he plundered the country]

οὔτε can be used as οὔτε ... οὔτε - neither ... nor but here it's different. It's unclear for me - if Tissarphernes was enemy of Cyrus and he plundered the country then he most likely did advance with army - what could οὔτε mean here, then?

If I ignore οὔτε attempt at translation would then be:

Tissarpernes, satrap of Caria, was warlike to the Cyrus and then he had advanced with army apart from plundering the country again.

Could you please help me and correct errors?

Answer 1

As mentioned in the comments, it appears that you transcribed the passage incorrectly. Here is the corrected text:

Τισσαφέρνης δέ, ὁ τῆς Καρίας σατράπης, τῷ Κύρῳ πολέμιος ἦν, τότε δὲ οὔτε ἐστράτευεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν οὔτε διήρπαζε τὴν χώραν.

Here you have a correlation of οὔτε...οὔτε ("neither...nor"), and most of your difficulties should disappear. Here is a translation:

But Tissaphernes, the satrap of Caria, was Cyrus's enemy (lit: "hostile to Cyrus"), but at that time he neither waged war against him [i.e. Cyrus] nor plundered the country.
