This, then is how they fared in their fighting.
Presently, however, the Athenians wholly
separated themselves from the Ionians and refused
to aid them, although Aristagoras sent messages of
earnest entreaty. Despite the fact that they had been deprived of their
Athenian allies, the Ionians fervently continued their war against the king (for they
remained committed by what they had done to Darius).
They sailed to the Canakkale
Bogazi (strait), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, Asia
Hellespont and made +Byzantium [28.95,41.0333] (Perseus)
Byzantium and all the other cities of that region subject to
themselves. Then sailing out from the Canakkale Bogazi (strait), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, Asia
Hellespont they gained to their cause the greater part of
+Caria [28,37.5] (region
(general)), Turkey, Asia Caria, for even +Caunus [28.6333,36.8333]
(Perseus) Caunus, which till then had not wanted to be
their ally, now joined itself to them after the burning of Sardis [28.0167,38.475] (Perseus)
Sardis.
