History of the Peloponnesian War

On their arrival Tissaphernes, who had come up with his land-forces, persuaded them to sail against Iasus, where Amorges, an enemy, was in occupation. So they made a sudden attack upon Iasus and took it, as the inhabitants had no thought but that the ships were Athenian;

and in the action the Syracusans won most praise. Amorges was taken alive by the Peloponnesians and delivered over to Tissaphernes to lead home to the King, if he so wished, according to his orders[*](cf. 8.5.5.); and they sacked Iasus, the army taking very much treasure, for the place was one of ancient wealth.
