History of the Peloponnesian War

The Athenians and Phormio set out from Acarnania and arrived at Naupactus, and later, at the beginning of spring, sailed back to Athens, bringing with them the captured ships and also the prisoners of free birth whom they had taken in the sea-fights. These were exchanged man for man.

And this winter ended, concluding the third year of this war of which Thucydides wrote the history.
