Besides this, Prusias had seized in Asia a district of Mysia, which had been in the possession of Byzantium for many years past. Meanwhile the Rhodians manned six ships and received four from their allies; and, having elected Xenophantus to command them, they sailed with this squadron of ten ships to the Hellespont.

Starting thence, and wasting the plain of Apia, he crossed Mount Pelecas and encamped near the river Megistus.
