Anabasis
Admiral and friend of Cheirisophus expected to help provide vessels.
I have a friend Anaxibius, gentlemen, and he happens also to be Admiral.
for even now Dexippus has already been falsely accusing him, as far as he could, to Anaxibius, even though I tried hard to silence him.
in fact, however, he brought nothing, save the report that the admiral Anaxibius and the others commended them, and that Anaxibius promised that if they got outside the Euxine, they should have regular pay.
Hellenica
Lacedaemonian governor at Abydus whose campaign against Athenian interests ends in ambush and death.
Accordingly the ephors gave Anaxibius three triremes and money enough for a thousand mercenaries, and sent him out.
Furthermore, about two hundred of the other troops of Anaxibius were killed, and about fifty of the Abydene hoplites.
but Anaxibius, inasmuch as the ephors had become friends of his, succeeded in having himself sent out to Abydus as governor.
