History of the Peloponnesian War

Such was the alliance. And immediately after this the Chians manned ten more ships and sailed to Anaea,[*](On the mainland opposite.) wishing to learn about the situation in Miletus and at the same time to induce the cities to revolt.

But a message came from Chalcideus ordering them to sail back again, since Amorges would soon arrive by land with an army, and so they sailed to the temple of Zeus; there they described sixteen ships approaching with which Diomedon had left Athens even after the departure of Thrasycles.

When they saw these ships, they fled to Ephesus with one ship, while the rest made for Teos. Four empty ships were captured by the Athenians, their crews having escaped to the land; the other five took refuge at the city of Teos.

The Athenians then sailed for Samos; and the Chians, putting out to sea with the rest of their ships and acting in concert with the army on land, induced Lebedos to revolt and then Haerae.[*](A small town of the Teians (Strabo, p. 644).) After this each contingent returned home, both the army on land and the fleet.
