Such were the doings of Histiaeus and the Mytilenaeans. Against Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus itself a great fleet and army were expected, for the Persian generals had joined their power together and made one army, which they led against Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus, taking less account of the other fortresses. Of the fleet, the Phoenicians were the most eager to fight, and there came with them to the war the newly subdued Cyprians, and the Cilicians and Egyptians.
