In this part of the continent the Corinthians now came to anchor, and formed an encampment.

When the Corcyraeans saw them coming, they manned a hundred and ten ships, commanded by Meikiades, Aisimides, and Eurybatus, and stationed themselves at one of the Sybota isles; the ten Athenian ships being present.

On Point Leukimme they posted their land forces, and a thousand heavy infantry who had come from Zacynthus to their assistance.

Nor were the Corinthians on the mainland without their allies.

The barbarians flocked in large numbers to their assistance, the inhabitants of this part of the continent being old allies of theirs.
When the Corinthian preparations were completed, they took three days' provisions and put out from Chimerium by night, ready for action.
Sailing with the dawn, they sighted the Corcyraean fleet out at sea and coming towards them.
