[6] While these things were going on Timotheus, the Athenian general, commanding a force of both infantry and ships, besieged and took Torone and Potidaea,1 and brought relief to Cyzicus,2 which was undergoing a siege.

1 On Torone and Potidaea see Isoc. 15.108, 113 f. and Polyaenus 3.10.15.

2 The Theban fleet under Epameinondas had been operating during the summer of 364 in the Sea of Marmora and had caused Byzantium to withdraw from the Athenian confederacy (see chap. 79.1). At the arrival of Timotheus in the region, Epameinondas prudently withdrew and Timotheus recovered Byzantium and relieved the siege of Cyzicus. See Nepos Timotheus 1.3 and Glotz, Hist. gr. 3.170.
