Histories

When Histiaeus tried to force his way into Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus by night, he was wounded in the thigh by a Milesian. Since he was thrust out from his own city, he went back to Khios [26.116,38.383] (inhabited place), Chios, Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Chios; when he could not persuade the Chians to give him ships, he then crossed over to Mytilene [26.55,39.1] (Perseus) Mytilene and persuaded the Lesbians to give him ships.

They manned eight triremes, and sailed with Histiaeus to Byzantium [28.95,41.0333] (Perseus) Byzantium; there they encamped, and seized all the ships that were sailing out of the Black Sea [38,42] (sea) Euxine, except when the crews consented to serve Histiaeus.
