To return to the Peloponnesians in Miletus.
No pay was forthcoming from any of the agents deputed by Tissaphernes for
that purpose upon his departure for Aspendus; neither the Phoenician fleet nor Tissaphernes showed any signs of
appearing, and Philip, who had been sent with him, and another Spartan,
Hippocrates, who was at Phaselis, wrote word to Mindarus, the admiral, that
the ships were not coming at all, and that they were being grossly abused by
Tissaphernes.
Meanwhile Pharnabazus was inviting them to come, and making every effort to
get the fleet and, like Tissaphernes, to cause the revolt of the cities in
his government still subject to Athens, founding great hopes on his success; until at length, at about the period of the summer which we have now
reached, Mindarus yielded to his importunities, and, with great order and at
a moment's notice, in order to elude the enemy at Samos, weighed anchor with
seventy-three ships from Miletus and set sail for the Hellespont.
Thither sixteen vessels had already preceded him in the same summer, and
had overrun part of the Chersonese.
Being caught in a storm, Mindarus was compelled to run in to Icarus, and
after being detained five or six days there by stress of weather, arrived at
Chios.
