And the Athenians, when they saw the Peloponnesians gone, went likewise home with their hundred galleys.

About the time that this fleet was out, they had surely the most galleys (besides the beauty of them) together in action in these employment; yet in the beginning of the war they had both as good and more in number.

For a hundred attended the guard of Attica, Euboea, and Salamis; and another hundred were about Peloponnesus, besides those that were at Potidaea and other places, so that in one summer they had in all two hundred and fifty sail.

And this, together with Potidaea, was it that most exhausted their treasure.
