Dionysius, the Phocaean, when he perceived that all was lost,
having first captured three ships from the enemy, himself took to
flight. He would not, however, return to Phocaea, which he well
knew must fall again, like the rest of Ionia, under the Persian
yoke; but straightway, as he was, he set sail for Phoenicia, and
there sunk a number of merchantmen, and gained a great booty; after
which he directed his course to Sicily, where he established himself
as a corsair, and plundered the Carthaginians and Tyrrhenians, but
did no harm to the Greeks.
