The Athenians now withdrew and set up a trophy at the place[*](The point is not certain; either near the Molycrian Rhium (Thuc. 2.86.2), or off the Apollonium (Thuc. 2.91.1).) from which they had set out and won the victory;

and they took up their dead and such of the wrecked ships as were close to their own shore, giving back to the enemy under a truce those which belonged to them. But the Peloponnesians also set up, in token of victory, a trophy for the defeat of the ships which had been disabled near the shore.

And the ships which they had taken they dedicated on the Achaean Rhium by the side of the trophy.

And after this, fearing the reinforcements expected from Athens,[*](Thuc. 2.86.6.) they sailed under cover of night into the Crisaean Gulf and to Corinth, all except the Leucadians. And not long after their retreat the twenty Athenian ships from Crete,[*](Thuc. 2.85.5.) which were to have joined Phormio in time for the battle, arrived at Naupactus. And so the summer ended.
