Histories

Now when the Milesians suffered all this at the hands of the Persians, the Sybarites (who had lost their city and dwelt in Laus and Scidrus) did not give them equal return for what they had done. When Sybaris [16.4833,39.75] (Perseus) Sybaris was taken by the Crotoniates, all the people of Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus, young and old, shaved their heads and made great public lamentation; no cities which we know were ever so closely joined in friendship as these.
