the Athenian citadel, than they fell into such alarm that some of the
captains did not even wait for the council to come to a vote, but

council board, came to a vote that the fleet should give battle at the
Isthmus. Night now drew on; and the captains, dispersing from the
meeting, proceeded on board their respective ships.
