Histories

Scythes the monarch of Zancle [15.5667,38.1833] (Perseus) Zancle escaped from Inyx to Himera, and from there he came to Asia (continent)Asia and went up country to king Darius. Darius considered him the most honest man of all who had come up to him from Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas;

for he returned by the king's permission to Sicily [14,37.5] (region), Italy, Europe Sicily and from Sicily [14,37.5] (region), Italy, Europe Sicily back again to Darius, until in old age he ended his life in Iran [53,32] (nation), AsiaPersia in great wealth. Without trouble the Samians planted themselves in that most excellent city of Zancle [15.5667,38.1833] (Perseus) Zancle, after they had escaped from the Medes.

After the fight at sea for Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus, the Phoenicians at the Persians' bidding brought Aeaces son of Syloson back to Nisos Samos [26.8,37.75] (island), Samos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Samos, for the high worth of his service to them and for his great achievements. Because of the desertion of their ships in the sea-fight, the Samians were the only rebel people whose city and temples were not burnt.

After Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus was captured, the Persians at once gained possession of Caria [28,37.5] (region (general)), Turkey, Asia Caria. Some of the towns submitted voluntarily; others were brought over by force.

All this happened so. Histiaeus the Milesian was at Byzantium [28.95,41.0333] (Perseus) Byzantium, seizing the Ionian merchant ships as they sailed out of the Black Sea [38,42] (sea) Euxine, when he had news of the business of Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus. Leaving all matters concerning the Canakkale Bogazi (strait), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Hellespont in charge of Bisaltes of Abydus [26.416,40.2] (deserted settlement), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaAbydos, son of Apollophanes, he himself sailed with the Lesbians to Chios [26,38.366] (island), Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, EuropeChios and, when the Chian guardships would not receive him, fought in the Hollows of Chios [26,38.366] (island), Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, EuropeChios (as they are called).

Many of their crews he killed; the rest of the people of the country, since they were crippled by the sea-fight, were mastered by Histiaeus with his Lesbians, setting out from Polichne in Chios [26,38.366] (island), Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, EuropeChios.
