As for the Milesians, who had been ordered, for the better security
of the Persians, to guard the mountain-paths, - that in case any
accident befell them such as had now happened, they might not lack
guides to conduct them into the high tracts of Mycale, - and who had
also been removed to hinder them from making an outbreak in the Persian
camp; they, instead of obeying their orders, broke them in every
respect. For they guided the flying Persians by wrong roads, which
brought them into the presence of the enemy; and at last they set upon
them with their own hands, and showed themselves the hottest of their
adversaries. Ionia, therefore, on this day revolted a second time
from the Persians.
