τὰ πότιμα ὕδατα: i. e. on the coast of Histiaeotis, to which the Persian fleet crossed next day (ch. 23). With this appeal (rhetorically worked up by Justin, ii. 12. 3) cf. the fears of Artabanus and Xerxes' reply (vii. 51-2). It was more successful in causing suspicion of the Ionians (ch. 90) than in securing actual desertion (ch. 85.)
