Meantime three of the ten vessels sent forward by the barbarians
advanced as far as the sunken rock between Sciathus and Magnesia,
which is called "The Ant," and there set up a stone pillar which
they had brought with them for that purpose. After this, their course
being now clear, the barbarians set sail with all their ships from
Therma, eleven days from the time that the king quitted the town.
The rock, which lay directly in their course, had been made known to
them by Pammon of Scyros. A day's voyage without a stop brought
them to Sepias in Magnesia, and to the strip of coast which lies
between the town of Casthanaea and the promontory of Sepias.
