These ships were thus seen by the Corinthians first. They suspected that they were from Athens, and that those which they saw
were not all, but that there were more behind; they accordingly began to retire.
[2]
The Corcyraeans meanwhile had not sighted them, as they were advancing from
a point which they could not so well see,
and were wondering why the
Corinthians were backing water, when some caught sight of them, and cried
out that there were ships in sight ahead.
Upon this they also retired;
for it was now getting dark, and the retreat of the Corinthians had
suspended hostilities.
[3]
Thus they parted from each other, and the battle ceased with night.
[4]
The Corcyraeans were in their camp at Leukimme, when these twenty ships
from Athens, under the command of Glaucon, the son of Leagrus, and
Andocides, son of Leogoras, bore on through the corpses and the wrecks, and
sailed up to the camp, not long after they were sighted.
[5]
It was now night,
and the Corcyraeans feared that they might be hostile
vessels;
but they soon knew them,
and the ships came to anchor.
