Thereupon the Peloponnesians took to flight in the direction of
								Abydus; and Pharnabazus came along the shore to their aid, and
								riding his horse into the sea as far as possible, bore a share in
								the fighting and cheered on his followers, cavalry and infantry. Meanwhile the Peloponnesians made a barrier of their ships and
								marshalled themselves on the shore and fought. At length the
								Athenians sailed away to Sestus after capturing thirty of the
								enemy’s ships, though without their crews, and recovering those
								which they had previously lost themselves. From Sestus all but forty of their ships went off in different
								directions, outside the Hellespont, to collect money; and
								Thrasyllus, who was one of the generals, set sail for Athens to
								report these events and to ask for troops and ships. After this Tissaphernes came to the
								Hellespont; and when Alcibiades with a single trireme went to visit
								him, bearing friendly offerings and gifts, Tissaphernes seized him
								and imprisoned him in Sardis, saying that the King ordered him to
								make war upon the Athenians. Thirty days later, however, Alcibiades, together with Mantitheus, who
								had been taken prisoner in Caria, provided themselves with horses
								and made their escape from Sardis by night to Clazomenae.
