Histories

While the Persians still fought, the Lacedaemonians and their comrades came up and finished what was left of the business. The Greeks too lost many men there, notably the men of Sikyon [22.725,37.9833] (Perseus)Sicyon and their general Perilaus.

As for the Samians who served in the Median army and had been disarmed, they, seeing from the first that victory hung in the balance,[*](e(teralkh\s here probably means “doubtful,” giving victory to one side or the other; cp. Hdt. 7.11; in Homer it means “decisive,” giving victory to one side as opposed to the other.) did what they could in their desire to aid the Greeks. When the other Ionians saw the Samians set the example, they also abandoned the Persians and attacked the foreigners.
