History of the Peloponnesian War

But Astyochus, who chanced to be at Chios at this time, engaged in collecting hostages as a precaution against the treachery above mentioned,[*](cf. 8.24.6.) desisted from this work, when he observed that the ships under the command of Therimenes had come and that the affairs of the Peloponnesian alliance were improved, and taking the ten Peloponnesian ships[*](ie. the four under himself from Erythrae (8.24.6) and the six which had come from Cenchreiae to Chios (8.28.5).) and ten Chian he put to sea, and after attacking Pteleum without success proceeded along the coast to Clazomenae.

There he ordered those who favoured the Athenian cause to remove inland to Daphnus and come over to the Peloponnesian side. In this order Tamos, who was lieutenant-governor of Ionia, also concurred.
