In the same summer, immediately after this,
the Peloponnesians having refused to fight with their fleet united, through
not thinking themselves a match for the enemy, and being at a loss where to
look for money for such a number of ships, especially as Tissaphernes proved
so bad a paymaster, sent off Clearchus, son of Ramphias, with forty ships to
Pharnabazus, agreeably to the original instructions from Peloponnese;
[2]
Pharnabazus inviting them and being prepared to furnish pay, and Byzantium
besides sending offers to revolt to them.
[3]
These Peloponnesian ships accordingly put out into the open sea, in order
to escape the observation of the Athenians, and being overtaken by a storm,
the majority with Clearchus got into Delos, and afterwards returned to
Miletus, whence Clearchus proceeded by land to the Hellespont to take the
command: ten, however, of their number, under the Megarian Helixus, made
good their passage to the Hellespont, and effected the revolt of Byzantium.
[4]
After this, the commanders at Samos were informed of it, and sent a
squadron against them to guard the Hellespont; and an encounter took place before Byzantium between eight vessels on
either side.
