History of the Peloponnesian War

If any revolt from the King, they shall be enemies to both the Lacedaemonians and their allies, and if any revolt from the Lacedaemonians and their allies, they shall be enemies to the King in like manner.”

Such was the alliance. And immediately after this the Chians manned ten more ships and sailed to Anaea,[*](On the mainland opposite.) wishing to learn about the situation in Miletus and at the same time to induce the cities to revolt.

But a message came from Chalcideus ordering them to sail back again, since Amorges would soon arrive by land with an army, and so they sailed to the temple of Zeus; there they described sixteen ships approaching with which Diomedon had left Athens even after the departure of Thrasycles.
