While the Greeks were doing as I have said, there came to them their lookout from +Trachis [22.55,38.8] (Perseus) Trachis. There was a scout at +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium, one Polyas, a native of Anticyra, who was charged (and had a rowing boat standing ready for it), if the fleet should suffer a reverse to declare it to the men at +Thermopylae [22.5583,38.8] (Perseus) Thermopylae. Similarly, if any ill should befall the land army, Abronichus son of Lysicles, an Athenian, was with Leonidas, ready for his part to bring the news in a thirty-oared bark to the Greeks at +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium.
