Gaius Julius and Proculus Verginius Tricostus, and the Eleians celebrated the Eighty-eighth
Olympiad, that in which Symmachus of Messene in
Sicily won the "stadion." In this year Cnemus, the Lacedaemonian admiral, who was inactive in Corinth, decided to seize the Peiraeus. He had received
information that no ships in the harbour had been put into the water for duty and no soldiers
had been detailed to guard the port; for the Athenians, as he learned, had become negligent
about guarding it because they by no means expected any enemy would have the audacity to seize
the place. Consequently Cnemus, launching forty triremes which
had been hauled up on the beach at Megara, sailed
by night to Salamis, and falling unexpectedly on the
fortress on Salamis called Boudorium, he towed away

Romans elected in place of consuls four military tribunes, Publius Lucretius, Gaius Servilius,
Agrippa Menenius, and Spurius Veturius. In this year the Syracusans, dispatching ambassadors to
both Corinth and Lacedaemon, urged these cities to come to their aid and not to stand idly by when
total ruin threatened the Syracusans. Since Alcibiades
supported their request, the Lacedaemonians voted to send aid to the Syracusans and chose
Gylippus to be general, and the Corinthians made preparations to send a number of triremes, but
at the moment they sent in advance to Sicily,
accompanying Gylippus, Pythes with two triremes. And in Catane
Nicias and Lamachus, the Athenian generals, after two hundred and fifty cavalry and three
