Consequently Artabazus and Megabyzus sent ambassadors to Athens to discuss a settlement. The Athenians were favourable and dispatched
ambassadors plenipotentiary, the leader of whom was Callias the son of Hipponicus; and so the
Athenians and their allies concluded with the Persians a treaty of peace, the principal terms
of which run as follows: All the Greeks cities of Asia
are to live under laws of their own making; the satraps of the Persians are not to come nearer
to the sea than a three days' journey and no Persian warship is to sail inside of Phaselis1 or the Cyanean Rocks2; and if these terms are observed by the
king and his generals, the Athenians are not to send troops into the territory over which the
king is ruler.3

2 At the entrance to the Black Sea at Byzantium.
3 There was a cessation of hostilities at this time between Athens and Persia; but the specific terms of the treaty, as they are stated here and in fourth-century orators, are clearly false. See Walker in Camb. Anc. Hist. 5, pp. 87-88, 469-471.
