      the time of Dareius Hystaspis and Xerxes, was one of those whom Dareius, in his Scythian
      expedition, left in charge of the bridge of boats over the Danube. At the period of the
      invasion of Greece by Xerxes, seven citizens of Chios conspired against Strattis, but the plot
      was revealed by one of their number, and the remaining six were obliged to seek safety in
      flight. They first applied for aid to Sparta, whence they proceeded to the Greek fleet, under
      the command of Leotychides, at Aegina, <date when-custom="-479">B. C. 479</date>, and entreated
      their countrymen, but for the time without success, to strike a blow for the restoration of
      independence to Ionia. (<bibl n="Hdt. 4.138">Hdt. 4.138</bibl>, <bibl n="Hdt. 8.132">8.132</bibl>.) </p><byline>[<ref target="author.E.E">E.E</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
