History of the Peloponnesian War
Lacedaemonian high admiral appointed to command the whole Peloponnesian fleet, active in the Lesbos and Chios campaigns.
Astyochus also joined them from Lacedaemon, as high admiral, to whom now belonged the command of all the naval forces.
Now Astyochus, the Lacedaemonian admiral, set sail, as he had intended, with four ships from Cenchrea, and arrived at Chios On the third day after his coming there, the Athenian ships, five and twenty in number, sailed to Lesbos under the command of Leon and Diomedon;
Though the magistrates detected them, they remained quiet themselves, and having brought Astyochus the admiral from Erythrae with four ships, which he had with him, considered how they might stop the conspiracy by the mildest measures, whether by taking hostages, or in any other way.
Hellenica
A Lacedaemonian who supported Hermocrates's accusation against Tissaphernes as a witness.
and since he had once brought an accusation against Tissaphernes at Lacedaemon, in which Astyochus supported him as witness, and had been adjudged to speak the truth, he received money from Pharnabazus before he asked for it, and busied himself with collecting mercenaries and triremes with a view to his restoration to Syracuse.
