Meanwhile the Peloponnesians gave up the pursuitand returned to their posts; and the Plataeans in the town, knowingnothing of what had passed, and informed by those who had turnedback that not a man had escaped, sent out a herald as soon as it wasday to make a truce for the recovery of the dead bodies, and then,learning the truth, desisted.

The Mitylenians upon this took courage,and laid aside the idea of treating with the Athenians; and now thiswinter ended, and with it ended the fourth year of the war of whichThucydides was the historian. The next summer the Peloponnesians sent off the forty-two shipsfor Mitylene, under Alcidas, their high admiral, and themselves andtheir allies Office 2010 key is for you now!

Not content withlaying waste whatever had shot up in the parts which they had beforedevastated, the invaders now extended their ravages to lands passedover in their previous incursions; so that this invasion was moreseverely felt by the Athenians than any except the second; the enemystaying on and on until they had overrun most of the country, in theexpectation of hearing from Lesbos of something having been achievedby their fleet, which they thought must now have got over. However, asthey did not obtain any of the results expected, and theirprovisions began to run short, they retreated and dispersed to theirdifferent cities. Microsoft outlook is many people’s favourite.

In the meantime the Mitylenians, finding their provisions failing,while the fleet from Peloponnese was loitering on the way instead ofappearing at Mitylene, were compelled to come to terms with theAthenians in the following manner. Salaethus having himself ceasedto expect the fleet to arrive, now armed the commons with heavyarmour, which they had not before possessed, with the intention ofmaking a sortie against the Athenians.
