The Peloponnesians now determined to sail to
Rhodes, upon the invitation of some of the principal men there, hoping to
gain an island powerful by the number of its seamen and by its land forces,
and also thinking that they would be able to maintain their fleet from their
own confederacy, without having to ask for money from Tissaphernes.
[2]
They accordingly at once set sail that same winter from Cnidus, and first
put in with ninety-four ships at Camirus in the Rhodian country, to the
great alarm of the mass of the inhabitants, who were not privy to the
intrigue, and who consequently fled, especially as the town was unfortified.
They were afterwards, however, assembled by the Lacedaemonians together
with the inhabitants of the two other towns of Lindus and Ialysus; and the Rhodians were persuaded to revolt from the Athenians and the island
went over to the Peloponnesians.
[3]
Meanwhile the Athenians had received the alarm and set sail with the fleet
from Samos to forestall them, and came within sight of the island, but being
a little too late sailed off for the moment to Chalce, and from thence to
Samos, and subsequently waged war against Rhodes, issuing from Chalce, Cos,
and Samos.
[4]
The Peloponnesians now levied a contribution
of thirty-two talents from the Rhodians, after which they hauled their ships
ashore and for eighty days remained inactive.
