Histories

When the Persians had conquered the Ionians by sea, they laid siege to Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus by sea and land, mining the walls and using every device against it, until they utterly captured it in the sixth year after the revolt of Aristagoras.[*](In 494.) They enslaved the city, and thus the calamity agreed with the oracle concerning Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus.
