The Phoenicians were marshalled against the Athenians, holding the western wing toward +Eleusis [23.5583,38.0417] (Perseus) Eleusis. Against the Lacedaemonians were the Ionians, on the eastern wing toward +Piraeus [23.6583,37.9583] (Perseus) Piraeus, and a few of them fought badly according to Themistocles' instructions, but the majority did not.

I can list the names of many captains who captured Hellenic ships, but I will mention none except Theomestor son of Androdamas and Phylacus son of Histiaeus, both Samians.

I mention only these because Theomestor was appointed tyrant of +Nisos Samos [26.8,37.75] (island), Samos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Samos by the Persians for this feat, and Phylacus was recorded as a benefactor of the king and granted much land. The king's benefactors are called “orosangae” in the Persian language.
