From Tarentum, Gylippus, after first going on a mission to Thuria, on account of
his father having been once a citizen there, and failing to win them over, weighed anchor
and sailed along the coast of Italy. (C. Forster Smith).

Demosthenes and Eurymedon, the army being now ready which they had gathered
from Corcyra and the mainland, sailed with all their forces across the Ionian Sea to the
Iapygian promontory. Proceeding from there, they touched at the Choerades, which are
islands of Iapygia, and they took on board some Iapygian javelin-men, one hundred and
fifty in number… and they arrived at Metapontum in Italy. There they persuaded the
Metapontines to send with them, in accordance with the terms of their alliance, three
hundred javelin-men and two triremes, and taking up these they sailed along the coast to
Thuria. At Thuria they found that the faction opposed to the Athenians had recently been
expelled in a revolution; and as they were desirous, after collecting their whole armament
at that place, to hold a review of it, on the chance that anyone had been left behind, and
also to persuade the Thurians both to take part with them in the expedition with all zeal
and, in view of the Athenian’s present good fortune, to regard the same persons foes and
friends as the Athenians did, they waited at Thuria and dealt with these matters. (C. Forster
Smith).

Demosthenes and Eurymedon, when the Thurians had been induced to join in the
campaign with them with seven hundred hoplites and three-hundred javelin-men, gave
orders that the ships should sail along the coast toward the territory of Croton, while they
themselves, after first reviewing all their land forces at the river Sybaris, advanced through
