Book 6
5.2
When Histiaeus tried to force his way into Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus by night, he was wounded in the thigh by a Milesian. Since he was thrust out from his own city, he went back to Khios [26.116,38.383] (inhabited place), Chios, Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Chios; when he could not persuade the Chians to give him ships, he then crossed over to Mytilene [26.55,39.1] (Perseus) Mytilene and persuaded the Lesbians to give him ships.
5.3
They manned eight triremes, and sailed with Histiaeus to Byzantium [28.95,41.0333] (Perseus) Byzantium; there they encamped, and seized all the ships that were sailing out of the Black Sea [38,42] (sea) Euxine, except when the crews consented to serve Histiaeus.
6.1
Such were the doings of Histiaeus and the Mytilenaeans. Against Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus itself a great fleet and army were expected, for the Persian generals had joined their power together and made one army, which they led against Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus, taking less account of the other fortresses. Of the fleet, the Phoenicians were the most eager to fight, and there came with them to the war the newly subdued Cyprians, and the Cilicians and Egyptians.
