Astyochus accordingly sailed as he was to
Syme, before he was heard of, in the hope of catching the enemy somewhere
out at sea.
Rain, however, and foggy weather encountered him, and caused his ships to
straggle and get into disorder in the dark.
[2]
In the morning his fleet had parted company and was most of it still
straggling round the island, and the left wing only in sight of Charminus
and the Athenians, who took it for the squadron which they were watching for
from Caunus, and hastily put out against it with part only of their twenty
vessels,
[3]
and attacking immediately sank three ships and disabled others, and had the
advantage in the action until the main body of the fleet unexpectedly hove
in sight, when they were surrounded on every side.
[4]
Upon this they took to flight, and after losing six ships, with the rest
escaped to Teutlussa or Beet Island, and from thence to Halicarnassus.
After this the Peloponnesians put into Cnidus, and being joined by the
twenty-seven ships from Caunus, sailed all together and set up a trophy in
Syme, and then returned to anchor at Cnidus.
