When all the ships had arrived at +Aegina [23.433,37.75] (inhabited place), Aegina, Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Aegina, there came to the Greek quarters messengers from the Ionians, the same who a little while before that had gone to Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta and entreated the Lacedaemonians to free Ionia (region (general)), Europe Ionia.

One of these was Herodotus the son of Basileides. These, who at first were seven, made a faction and conspired to slay Strattis, the tyrant of +Chios [26,38.366] (island), Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Chios, but when their conspiracy became known, one of the accomplices having revealed their enterprise, the six who remained got them secretly out of +Chios [26,38.366] (island), Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Chios, from where they went to Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta and now to +Aegina [23.433,37.75] (inhabited place), Aegina, Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Aegina, entreating the Greeks to sail to Ionia (region (general)), Europe Ionia.
