Anabasis
Sea vessels, including wrecked merchant ships and triremes that prevent the army's crossing.

And the Thracians who dwell on this coast have boundary stones set up and each group of them plunder the ships that are wrecked within their own limits;
But when Aristarchus came with his triremes and prevented our sailing across, at that moment—and surely it was exactly the proper step—I gathered you together so that we might consider what we should better do.
Hellenica

but at the opening of spring, having fully manned a large number of ships and hired a force of mercenaries besides, Pharnabazus, and Conon with him, sailed through the islands to Melos, and making that their base, went on to Lacedaemon.
