Book 6
4.1
Then Histiaeus, using Hermippus, a man of Atarneus [26.95,39.05] (Perseus) Atarneus, as messenger, sent letters to the Persians at Sardis [28.0167,38.475] (Perseus) Sardis, because they had previously talked with him about revolt. But Hermippus did not give the letters to the men to whom he was sent, and went and delivered them to Artaphrenes instead.
4.2
Artaphrenes, learning all that was afoot, bade Hermippus carry Histiaeus' letters to those for whom he was bringing them, and give him those which the Persians sent in answer to Histiaeus. Thus these men became known, and then Artaphrenes put many Persians to death.
5.1
So troubles arose in Sardis [28.0167,38.475] (Perseus) Sardis. Since he failed in this hope, the Chians brought Histiaeus back to Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus at his own request. But the Milesians were glad enough to be rid of Aristagoras himself, and they had no wish to receive another tyrant into their country now that they had tasted freedom.
5.2
When Histiaeus tried to force his way into Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus by night, he was wounded in the thigh by a Milesian. Since he was thrust out from his own city, he went back to Khios [26.116,38.383] (inhabited place), Chios, Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Chios; when he could not persuade the Chians to give him ships, he then crossed over to Mytilene [26.55,39.1] (Perseus) Mytilene and persuaded the Lesbians to give him ships.
5.3
They manned eight triremes, and sailed with Histiaeus to Byzantium [28.95,41.0333] (Perseus) Byzantium; there they encamped, and seized all the ships that were sailing out of the Black Sea [38,42] (sea) Euxine, except when the crews consented to serve Histiaeus.
