Now Helixus and Coeratadas, who knew nothing of what was going on, hurried to the market-place with all their troops; but when they found that the enemy were masters everywhere and that they could do nothing, they surrendered themselves.
perpetrator: The Athenian army of Alcibiades is probably mixed in its origion: Besides Attic/Athenian the soldiers have to be also Chersonesians and Thracian like as is said in 1.3.10.
The involvment of Alcibiades in this siege can be found in Xen. Hell. 1.3.20. longtermconsequence: Helixus, Coeratadas and all their troops surrender themselves and become prisioners (see also in Xen. Hell. 1.3.21).
Notes :
There is no violence mentioned in this passage, but it is to be assumed that violence is implied during the occupation.
