In the meantime, the army of the Athenians, being come about by sea from Corycus to Arginum, lighted on three long-boats of the Chians, which when they saw they presently chased.
But there arose a great tempest;
and the long-boats of Chios with much ado recovered the harbour.
But of the Athenian galleys, especially such as followed them furthest, there perished three, driven ashore at the city of Chios;
and the men that were aboard them were part taken and part slain.
The rest of the fleet escaped into a haven called Phoenicus, under the hill Mimas, from whence they got afterwards to Lesbos and there fortified.
