55.
In the same winter Leon and Diomedon, who had
by this time joined the fleet, made an attack upon Rhodes.
The ships of the Peloponnesians they found hauled up on shore, and after
making a descent upon the coast and defeating the Rhodians who appeared in
the field against them, withdrew to Chalce and made that place their base of
operations instead of Cos, as they could better observe from thence if the
Peloponnesian fleet put out to sea.

Meanwhile Xenophantes, a Laconian, came to Rhodes from Pedaritus at Chios,
with the news that the fortification of the Athenians was now finished, and
that, unless the whole Peloponnesian fleet came to the rescue, the cause in
Chios must be lost.
Upon this they resolved to go to his relief.
[3]
In the meantime Pedaritus, with the mercenaries that he had with him and
the whole force of the Chians, made an assault upon the work round the
Athenian ships and took a portion of it, and got possession of some vessels
that were hauled up on shore, when the Athenians sallied out to the rescue,
and first routing the Chians, next defeated the remainder of the force round
Pedaritus, who was himself killed, with many of the Chians, a great number
of arms being also taken.
