When the Cymaeans heard this answer, they sent Pactyes away to Mytilene [26.55,39.1] (Perseus) Mytilene; for they were anxious not to perish for delivering him up or to be besieged for keeping him with them.

Then Mazares sent a message to Mytilene [26.55,39.1] (Perseus) Mytilene demanding the surrender of Pactyes, and the Mytilenaeans prepared to give him, for a price; I cannot say exactly how much it was, for the bargain was never fulfilled;

for when the Cymaeans learned what the Mytilenaeans were about, they sent a ship to Lesbos [26.333,39.166] (island), Lesvos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Lesbos and took Pactyes away to Chios [26,38.366] (island), Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, EuropeChios. From there he was dragged out of the temple of City-guarding Athena and delivered up by the Chians,

who received in return Atarneus [26.95,39.05] (Perseus) Atarneus, which is a district in Mysia (region (general)), Turkey, Asia Mysia opposite Lesbos [26.333,39.166] (island), Lesvos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Lesbos. The Persians thus received Pactyes and kept him guarded, so that they might show him to Cyrus;

and for a long time no one would use barley meal from this land of Atarneus [26.95,39.05] (Perseus) Atarneus in sacrifices to any god, or make sacrificial cakes of what grew there; everything that came from that country was kept away from any sacred rite.
