After the Aeginetans came the Chalcidians with their twenty ships from +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium, and the Eretrians with the same seven; these are Ionians. Next were the Ceans, Ionians from Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens, with the same ships as before.

The Naxians provided four ships. They had been sent by their fellow citizens to the Persians, like the rest of the islanders, but they disregarded their orders and came to the Hellenes at the urging of Democritus, an esteemed man among the townsmen and at that time captain of a trireme. The Naxians are Ionians descended from Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens.
