Original Text :	Νικίας ταῖς μὲν ναυσὶν ἡττώμενος τὸ πρῶτον ὅμως ἐξέωσε καὶ κατέδυσε πολλὰς τῶν πολεμίων, πρὸς δὲ τὸ πεζὸν οὐκ ἔφθασε βοηθῶν,
Translation :	With his fleet, though vanquished at first, he yet succeeded in repulsing the enemy and sank many of their ships
Edition :	Plutarch. Plutarch's Lives. with an English Translation by. Bernadotte Perrin. Cambridge, MA. Harvard University Press. London. William Heinemann Ltd. 1916. 3.
Remark :	perpetrator: The Athenians are attacked by sea and land at the same time. Therefore Nicias' effort to sink many ships is in vain, for his garrison is captured by Gylippus simultaneously.
