Launching out to sea from Delos [25.2833,37.4] (Perseus)Delos, the foreigners put in at the islands and gathered an army from there, taking the sons of the islanders for hostages.

When in their voyage about the islands they put in at Carystos, the Carystians gave them no hostages and refused to join them against neighboring cities, meaning +Eretria [23.8083,38.3917] (Perseus) Eretria and Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens; the Persians besieged them and laid waste their land, until the Carystians too came over to their side.
