Histories

the Chalcidians manned twenty, the Athenians furnishing the ships; the Aeginetans eighteen, the Sicyonians twelve, the Lacedaemonians ten, the Epidaurians eight, the Eretrians seven, the Troezenians five, the Styrians two, and the Ceans two, and two fifty-oared barks; the Opuntian Locrians brought seven fifty-oared barks to their aid.

These are the forces which came to +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium for battle, and I have now shown how they individually furnished the whole sum. The number of ships mustered at +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium was two hundred and seventy-one, besides the fifty-oared barks.

The Spartans, however, provided the admiral who had the chief command, Eurybiades, son of Euryclides, for the allies said that if the Laconian were not their leader, they would rather make an end of the fleet that was assembling than be led by the Athenians.
