When the rout of the barbarians began, and they sought to make their
escape to Phalerum, the Eginetans, awaiting them in the channel,
performed exploits worthy to be recorded. Through the whole of the
confused struggle the Athenians employed themselves in destroying such
ships as either made resistance or fled to shore, while the Eginetans
dealt with those which endeavoured to escape down the strait; so that
the Persian vessels were no sooner clear of the Athenians than
forthwith they fell into the hands of the Eginetan squadron.
