After speaking to this effect, Lamachus
nevertheless gave his support to the opinion of Alcibiades.
After this Alcibiades sailed in his own vessel across to Messina with
proposals of alliance, but met with no success, the inhabitants answering
that they could not receive him within their walls, though they would
provide him with a market outside.
Upon this he sailed back to Rhegium.
[2]
Immediately upon his return the generals manned and victualled sixty ships
out of the whole fleet and coasted along to Naxos, leaving the rest of the
armament behind them at Rhegium with one of their number.
[3]
Received by the Naxians, they then coasted on to Catana, and being refused
admittance by the inhabitants, there being a Syracusan party in the town,
went on to the river Terias.
[4]
Here they bivouacked, and the next day sailed in single file to Syracuse
with all their ships except ten which they sent on in front to sail into the
great harbour and see if there was any fleet launched, and to proclaim by
herald from shipboard that the Athenians were come to restore the Leontines
to their country, as being their allies and kinsmen, and that such of them,
therefore, as were in Syracuse should leave it without fear and join their
friends and benefactors the Athenians.
[5]
After making this proclamation and reconnoitring the city and the harbours,
and the features of the country which they would have to make their base of
operations in the war, they sailed back to Catana.
