About the same time the twenty Peloponnesian ships at Peiraeum, which had been chased to shore at the time above mentioned[*](8.10.3.) and were being blockaded by an equal number of Athenian ships, made a sudden sally, and winning the victory in an engagement captured four of the Athenian ships; they then sailed back to Cenchreiae, where they proceeded again to prepare for the voyage to Chios and Ionia.

And Astyochus came to them from Lacedaemon and on him now devolved, as admiral, the command of the entire fleet. Now when the land-forces withdrew from Teos, Tissaphernes came there in person with an army, demolished whatever was left of the fortification at Teos, and then withdrew. After his departure Diomedon, who arrived a little later with ten Athenian ships, made an agreement with the Teians to receive them also. He then sailed along the coast to Haerae, and after making an assault upon the city without success sailed away.
