Against Timocrates
A naval battle associated with Chabrias and commemorated on a crown.
or, from the several states of the Alliance, Such-and-such a city crowned the People by whom they were delivered, or The liberated Euboeans, for example, crowned the People, or again Conon from the sea-fight with the Lacedaemonians, Chabrias from the sea-fight off Naxos.
Phocion
Naval battle in which Phocion, given command of the left wing by Chabrias, helped secure a decisive Athenian victory.
Especially in the sea-fight off Naxos he conferred no little name and fame upon Phocion;
Accordingly, as this was the first sea-fight which the Athenians had fought with the Greeks on their own account since the capture of their city, and as it had succeeded, they made exceeding much of Chabrias, and came to look upon Phocion as a man fit for command.
