As Oeobazus was making his escape into Thrace, the Apsinthians of that country caught and sacrificed him in their customary manner to Plistorus the god of their land; as for his companions, they did away with them by other means.

The Greeks bound them and carried them to Sestus, and together with them Artayctes and his son also in bonds.
