[77]
Now, he beat the Lacedaemonians in a sea-fight1 and took forty-nine warships; he
captured most of the islands near and handed them over to you, turning their
previous enmity into friendship; he brought to Athens three thousand captives, and paid into the treasury more

of the oldest among you can bear me out. But in addition, he captured more than
twenty warships, one or two at a time, and brought them all into your harbors.
