Histories

There Aristophilides, king of the Tarentines, out of sympathy for Democedes, took the steering gear off the Median ships and put the Persians under a guard, calling them spies. While they were in this plight, Democedes made his way to +Croton [17.1333,39.0833] (Perseus) Croton; and Aristophilides did not set the Persians free and give them back what he had taken from their ships until the physician was in his own country.

The Persians sailed from +Taranto [17.216,40.466] (inhabited place), Taranto, Apulia, Italy, Europe Tarentum and pursued Democedes to +Croton [17.1333,39.0833] (Perseus) Croton, where they found him in the marketplace and tried to seize him.
