In Greece Thrasybulus,1 who had been sent out by the Athenians with thirty ships and a strong force of hoplites as well as a hundred horsemen, put in at Ephesus; and after disembarking his troops at two points he launched assaults upon the city. The inhabitants came out of the city against them and a fierce battle ensued; and since the entire populace of the Ephesians joined in the fighting, four hundred Athenians were slain and the remainder Thrasybulus2 took aboard his ships and sailed off to Lesbos.

1 Thrasyllus, according to Xen. Hell. 1.2.6 ff. The account is resumed from the end of chapter 53.

2 Cp. sect. 1, first note.
