Two of the ships, then, were made captive, and the third trireme, of which Phormus an Athenian was captain, ran aground in her flight at the mouth of the Peneus; the barbarians took her hull but not the crew, for the Athenians, as soon as they had run their craft aground, leapt out and made their way through +Thessaly [22.25,39.5] (region), Greece, Europe Thessaly to Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens.

The Greeks who were stationed at +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium were informed of these matters by beacons from Sciathus. They were frightened by this and accordingly changed their anchorage from +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium to +Chalcis [23.6083,38.4667] (Perseus) Chalcis, proposing to guard the Euripus and leaving watchmen on the heights of +Euboea [23.833,38.566] (island), Nomos Evvoias, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Euboea.

Three of the ten barbarian ships ran aground on the reef called the Ant, which lies between Sciathus and Nomos Magnisias [22.75,39.25] (department), Thessaly, Greece, EuropeMagnesia. The barbarians then brought a pillar of stone and set it on the reef, and when their course was plain before them, the whole fleet set forth and sailed from +Thessaloniki [22.933,40.633] (inhabited place), Thessaloniki, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Therma, eleven days after the king had marched from there.
