ABSTRACT
Mindaros made careful preparations to evade the Athenians at Samos, giving the order only at the last minute (8.99). He had already sent sixteen ships to the Hellespont, and although Thucydides does not mention it, probably thirteen more to Rhodes (cf. DS 13.38.5; Xen., Hell. 1.1.2). So it was with seventy-three that he left Miletos. Like Klearchos, he ran into a storm, but managed to put into Ikaros, and thence made his way to Chios (8.99).
