Hellenica
Vice-admiral who was wounded and went home.
But when he was killed in an attack which took place, and Pollis in his turn, who was vice-admiral, was wounded and went home, Herippidas took command of these ships.
Influenced by these considerations they manned sixty triremes, and Pollis was made admiral of them.
Against Ctesiphon
A figure associated with the Lacedaemonians defeated by the Athenians at Naxos.
For when you had carried constitutional amendments as to the Three Hundred, and had persuaded the Athenians to make you Commissioner of the Navy, you were convicted by me of having stolen away trierarchs from sixty-five swift ships, making away with a greater naval force of the city than that with which the Athenians once defeated Pollis and the Lacedaemonians at Naxos.
