Histories

Those of them who escaped were driven into the precinct of Zeus of Armies at +Labraunda [27.8167,37.4167] (Perseus) Labraunda,[*](Site of the cult of a war-god, whose emblem was the la/brus or battle-axe.) a large and a holy grove of plane-trees. (The Carians are the only people whom we know who offer sacrifices to Zeus by this name.) When they had been driven there, they deliberated how best to save themselves, whether it would be better for them to surrender to the Persians or to depart from Asia (continent)Asia.

While they took counsel, the Milesians and their allies came to their aid, whereupon the Carians put aside their former plans, and prepared to wage a new war over again. They met the Persian attack and suffered a heavier defeat in the battle than the first; many of their whole army fell, but the Milesians were hardest stricken.
