24.
Unsuccessful at sea, the Syracusans had
nevertheless the forts in Plemmyrium, for which they set up three trophies.
One of the two last taken they razed, but put in order and garrisoned the
two others.
[2]
In the capture of the forts a great many men were killed and made
prisoners, and a great quantity of property was taken in all.
As the Athenians had used them as a magazine, there was a large stock of
goods and corn of the merchants inside, and also a large stock belonging to
the captains; the masts and other furniture of forty galleys being taken, besides three
galleys which had been drawn up on shore.
[3]
Indeed the first and chiefest cause of the ruin of the Athenian army was
the capture of Plemmyrium; even the entrance of the harbor being now no longer safe for carrying in
provisions, as the Syracusan vessels were stationed there to prevent it, and
nothing could be brought in without fighting; besides the general impression of dismay and discouragement produced upon
the army.
