The islanders, too, were great pirates. These islanders were Carians and Phoenicians,
by whom most of the islands
were colonized,
as was proved by the following fact.
During the purification of Delos by Athens in this war all the graves in
the island were taken up, and it was found that above half their inmates
were Carians: they were identified by the fashion of the arms buried with
them, and by the method of interment, which was the same as the Carians
still follow.
But as soon as Minos had formed his navy, communication by sea became
easier,
as he colonized most of the islands, and thus expelled the malefactors.
The coast populations now began to apply themselves more closely to the

The Athenians having thus succeeded to the
supremacy by the voluntary act of the allies through their hatred of
Pausanias, fixed which cities were to contribute money against the
barbarian, which ships; their professed object being to retaliate for their sufferings by ravaging
the king's country.
Now was the time that the office of ‘Treasurers for
Hellas’ was first instituted by the Athenians.
These officers received the tribute, as the money contributed was called.
The tribute was first fixed at four hundred and sixty talents.
The common treasury was at Delos, and the congresses were held in the
temple.

Meanwhile, the Peloponnesians in the forty
ships, who ought to have made all haste to relieve Mitylene, lost time in
coming round Peloponnese itself, and proceeding leisurely on the remainder
of the voyage, made Delos without having been seen by the Athenians at
Athens, and from thence arriving at Icarus and Myconus, there first heard of
the fall of Mitylene.
Wishing to know the truth, they put into Embatum, in the Erythraeid, about
seven days after the capture of the town.
Here they learned the truth, and began to consider what they were to do; and Teutiaplus, an Elean, addressed them as follows:—

The next summer the truce for a year ended,
after lasting until the Pythian games.
During the armistice the Athenians expelled the Delians from Delos,
concluding that they must have been polluted by some old offense at the time
of their consecration, and that this had been the omission in the previous
purification of the island, me
of their consecration, and that this had been the omission in the previous
purification of the island, which as I have related, had been thought to
have been duly accomplished by the removal of the graves of the dead.
The Delians had Atramyttium in Asia given them by Pharnaces, and settled
there as they removed from Delos.

About the same time in this summer Athens
succeeded in reducing Scione, put the adult males to death, and making
slaves of the women and children, gave the land for the Plataeans to live
in.
She also brought back the Delians to Delos, moved by her misfortunes in the
field and by the commands of the god at Delphi.
Meanwhile the Phocians and Locrians commenced hostilities.
The Corinthians and Argives being now in alliance, went to Tegea to bring
about its defection from Lacedaemon, seeing that if so considerable a state
could be persuaded to join, all Peloponnese would be with them.
But when the Tegeans said that they would do nothing against Lacedaemon,

Debating together and comforting themselves
after this manner, they pushed on their war measures as actively as ever; and the ten envoys sent to Samos by the Four Hundred, learning how matters
stood while they were still at Delos, stayed quiet there.

After his return the envoys of the Four Hundred sent, as has been mentioned
above, to pacify and explain matters to the forces at Samos, arrived from
Delos; and an assembly was held in which they attempted to speak.
The soldiers at first would not hear them, and cried out to put to death
the subverters of the democracy, but at last, after some difficulty, calmed
down and gave them a hearing.
Upon this the envoys proceeded to inform them that the recent change had
been made to save the city, and not to ruin it or to deliver it over to the
enemy, for they had already had an opportunity of doing this when he invaded
the country during their government; that all the Five Thousand would have their proper share in the government; and that their hea
