The Thirty, seeing that those citizens of Athens who enjoyed no political rights in the government of the three thousand1 were elated at the prospect of the overthrow of their control of the state, transferred them to the Peiraeus and maintained their control of the city by means of mercenary troops; and accusing the Eleusians and Salaminians of siding with the exiles, they put them all to death.
