Book 6
25.1
After the fight at sea for Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus, the Phoenicians at the Persians' bidding brought Aeaces son of Syloson back to Nisos Samos [26.8,37.75] (island), Samos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Samos, for the high worth of his service to them and for his great achievements. Because of the desertion of their ships in the sea-fight, the Samians were the only rebel people whose city and temples were not burnt.
25.2
After Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus was captured, the Persians at once gained possession of Caria [28,37.5] (region (general)), Turkey, Asia Caria. Some of the towns submitted voluntarily; others were brought over by force.
26.1
All this happened so. Histiaeus the Milesian was at Byzantium [28.95,41.0333] (Perseus) Byzantium, seizing the Ionian merchant ships as they sailed out of the Black Sea [38,42] (sea) Euxine, when he had news of the business of Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus. Leaving all matters concerning the Canakkale Bogazi (strait), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Hellespont in charge of Bisaltes of Abydus [26.416,40.2] (deserted settlement), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaAbydos, son of Apollophanes, he himself sailed with the Lesbians to Chios [26,38.366] (island), Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, EuropeChios and, when the Chian guardships would not receive him, fought in the Hollows of Chios [26,38.366] (island), Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, EuropeChios (as they are called).
26.2
Many of their crews he killed; the rest of the people of the country, since they were crippled by the sea-fight, were mastered by Histiaeus with his Lesbians, setting out from Polichne in Chios [26,38.366] (island), Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, EuropeChios.
