412 B.C.When Callias was archon in Athens, the Romans elected in place of consuls four military
tribunes, Publius Cornelius . . . Gaius Fabius, and among the Eleians the Ninety-second
Olympiad was celebrated, that in which Exaenetus of Acragas won the "stadion." In this year it came to pass that, after the Athenians
had collapsed in Sicily, their supremacy was held in
contempt; for immediately the peoples of Chios, Samos,
Byzantium, and many of the allies revolted to
the Lacedaemonians. Consequently the Athenian people, being disheartened, of their own accord
renounced the democracy, and choosing four hundred men they turned over to them the
administration of the state. And the leaders of the oligarchy, after building a number of
triremes, sent out forty of them together with generals.Diodorus is most sketchy at this point and in the repetitive passage in chap. 36. A

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

Those high in Darius' favor who gave their vote were Daphnis of Abydos, Hippoclus of Lampsacus, Herophantus of Parium, Metrodorus of Proconnesus, Aristagoras of Cyzicus, Ariston of Byzantium,
all from the Hellespont and sovereigns of cities there; and from Ionia, Strattis of Chios, Aiaces of Samos, Laodamas of Phocaea, and Histiaeus of Miletus who opposed the plan of Miltiades. As for the Aeolians, their only notable man present was Aristagoras of Cymae.

This Megabazus is forever remembered by the people of the Hellespont for replying,
when he was told at Byzantium that the people of Calchedon had founded their town seventeen years before the Byzantines had founded theirs, that the Calchedonians must at that time have been blind, for had they not been, they would never have chosen the worse site for their city when they might have had the better.
This Megabazus, left now as commander in the country, subjugated all the people of the Hellespont who did not take the side of the Persians.

This Otanes, then, who sat upon that seat, was now made successor to Megabazus in his governorship. He captured Byzantium, Calchedon, Antandrus in the Troad, and Lamponium, and with ships he had taken from the Lesbians, he took Lemnos and Imbros, both of which were still inhabited by Pelasgians.

This, then is how they fared in their fighting. Presently, however, the Athenians wholly separated themselves from the Ionians and refused to aid them, although Aristagoras sent messages of earnest entreaty. Despite the fact that they had been deprived of their Athenian allies, the Ionians fervently continued their war against the king (for they remained committed by what they had done to Darius).
They sailed to the Hellespont and made Byzantium and all the other cities of that region subject to themselves. Then sailing out from the Hellespont they gained to their cause the greater part of Caria, for even Caunus, which till then had not wanted to be their ally, now joined itself to them after the burning of Sardis.
