Meanwhile the Athenians at Sestus, learning that 1 Mindarus was planning to sail against them with sixty ships, withdrew by night to Cardia. There 2 Alcibiades joined them, coming from Clazomenae with five triremes and a dispatch boat. But upon learning that the Peloponnesian ships had set out from Abydus to Cyzicus, he proceeded overland to Sestus and gave orders that the ships should sail around to that place.
