However while they were still in the plain,
and had not yet entered the Paralian land, he had prepared an armament of a
hundred ships for Peloponnese, and when all was ready put out to sea.
[2]
On board the ships he took four thousand Athenian heavy infantry, and three
hundred cavalry in horse transports, then for the first time made out of old
galleys; fifty Chian and Lesbian vessels also joining in the expedition.
[3]
When this Athenian armament put out to sea, they left the Peloponnesians in
Attica in the Paralian region.
[4]
Arriving at Epidaurus in Peloponnese they ravaged most of the territory,
and even had hopes of taking the town by an assault: in this however they
were not successful.
[5]
Putting out from Epidaurus, they laid waste the territory of Troezen,
Halieis, and Hermione, all towns on the coast of Peloponnese,
[6]
and thence sailing to Prasiai, a maritime town in Laconia, ravaged part of
its territory, and took and sacked the place itself; after which they returned home, but found the Peloponnesians gone and no
longer in Attica.
