Demosthenes, Against Aristocrates, section 158 (search)
Having gained this unaccountable and
unforeseen deliverance, Charidemus crossed the sea to the Chersonesus without your authority by reason
of the armistice; but then, so far from attacking Cotys,—although he
had told you in his letter that Cotys would not repel his attack,—and
so far from helping you to recover the Chersonesus, he entered the service of Cotys once more, and
began to beleaguer your last remaining strongholds, Crithote and Elaeus. You
will find proof in his route across the straits that he had already decided on
this action at the time when he was in Asia and was sending you the letter, and therefore that he was
cheating you; for he crossed from Abydus, a place always hostile to you, and the base from which
Sestus was captured, to Sestus, which was in the possession of Cot

and to what points he crossed the straits; it was from Abydus to Sestus. Do you suppose that the
Abydenes and the Sestians would have admitted him, if they had not been privy to
his fraud, when he sent you that letter?—Now read to the jury the
letter itself.—Observe, men of Athens, with what extravagance of self-commendation he wrote to
you, telling you he had done this, and undertaking to do
that.—Read.

Mindarus, the
Lacedaemonian admiral, after his flight to Abydus from
the scene of his defeat repaired the ships that had been damaged and also sent the Spartan
Epicles to the triremes at Euboea with orders to bring
them with all speed. When Epicles arrived at Euboea, he gathered the ships, which amounted to fifty, and
hurriedly put out to sea; but when the triremes were off Mt. Athos there arose a storm of such fury that all the ships were lost and of their
crews twelve men alone survived. These facts are set forth by
a dedication, as Ephorus states, which stands in the temple at Coroneia and bears the following
inscription:
These from the crews of fifty ships, escaping destruction,
Brought their bodies to land hard by Athos' sharp crags;
Only twelve, all the rest the yawning depth of the waters
Took to their death with their ships, meeting with terrible winds.

When the sea-battle had ended as we have
related, the Athenians sailed off at the time to Sestus, since it was already night, but when
day came they collected their ships which had been damaged and set up another trophy near the
former one.Cp. chap. 40.6.
And Mindarus about the first watch of the night set out to
Abydus, where he repaired his ships that had been
damaged and sent word to the Lacedaemonians for reinforcements of both soldiers and ships; for
he had in mind, while the fleet was being made ready, to lay siege with the army together with
Pharnabazus to the cities in Asia which were allied
with the Athenians. The people
of Chalcis and almost all the rest of the
inhabitants of Euboea had revolted from the
AtheniansSoon after the Athenian disaster at Syracuse (Thuc. 8.95).

forced to surrender to the Athenians, who w
408 B.C.At the
end of the year the Athenians bestowed the office of archon upon Euctemon and the Romans
elected as consuls Marcus Papirius and Spurius Nautius, and the Ninety-third Olympiad was
celebrated, that in which Eubatus of Cyrene won the
"stadion." About this time the Athenian generals, now that they had taken possession of
Byzantium, proceeded against the Hellespont and took every one of the cities of that region with
the exception of Abydus.The Lacedaemonian base.
Then they left Diodorus and Mantitheus in charge with an
adequate force and themselves sailed to Athens with
the ships and the spoils, having performed many great deeds for the fatherland. When they drew
near the city, the populace in a body, overjoyed at their successes, came out to meet them, and
great numbers of the aliens, as well as children and women, flocked to the Peiraeus. For the return of the generals gave great cause for amazement, in that
