      some Boeotian forces under Clearchus, the Spartan harmost at Byzantium, when that place was
      besieged by the Athenians in <date when-custom="-408">B. C. 408</date>. When Clearchus crossed over
      to Asia to obtain money from Pharnabazus, and to collect forces, he left the command of the
      garrison to Helixus, a Megarian, and Coeratadas, who were soon after compelled to surrender
      themselves as prisoners when certain parties within the town had opened the gates to
      Alcibiades. [<hi rend="smallcaps">CLEARCHUS.</hi>] They were sent to Athens, but during the
      disembarkation at the Peiraeeus, Coeratadas contrived to escape in the crowd, and made his way
      in safety to Deceleia. (<bibl n="Xen. Hell. 1.3">Xen. Hell. 1.3</bibl>. §§ 15-22;

       <date when-custom="-400">B. C. 400</date>, when the Cyrean Greeks had arrived at Byzantium,
      Coeratadas, who was going about in search of employment as a general, prevailed on them to
      choose him as their commander, promising to lead them into Thrace on an expedition of much
      profit, and to supply them plentifully with provisions. It was however almost immediately
      discovered that he had no means of supporting them for even a single day, and he was obliged
      accordingly to relinquish his command. (<bibl n="Xen. Anab. 7.1">Xen. Anab. 7.1</bibl>.
