Book 6
27.2
Of a band of a hundred youths whom they had sent to Delphi [22.5167,38.4917] (Perseus) Delphi only two returned, ninety-eight being caught and carried off by pestilence; moreover, at about this same time, a little before the sea-fight, the roof fell in on boys learning their letters: of one hundred and twenty of them one alone escaped.
27.3
These signs a god showed to them; then the sea-fight broke upon them and beat the city to its knees; on top of the sea-fight came Histiaeus and the Lesbians. Since the Chians were in such a bad state, he easily subdued them.
28.1
Then Histiaeus brought a great force of Ionians and Aeolians against Thasos [24.716,40.783] (deserted settlement), Thasos, Kavalla, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Thasos. While he was besieging Thasos [24.716,40.783] (deserted settlement), Thasos, Kavalla, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Thasos a message came that the Phoenicians were putting out to sea from Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus to attack the rest of Ionia (region (general)), Europe Ionia. When he learned this, he left Thasos [24.716,40.783] (deserted settlement), Thasos, Kavalla, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Thasos unsacked, and hastened instead with all his army to Lesbos [26.333,39.166] (island), Lesvos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Lesbos.
