by every possible means.

So then Teleutias, having reached Samos, where he added some vessels to
his fleet, set sail to Cnidus. At this point Ecdicus returned home, and
Teleutias, continuing his voyage, reached Rhodes, at the head now of
seven-and-twenty vessels. It was during this portion of the voyage that
he fell in with Philocrates, the son of Ephialtes, who was sailing from
Athens to Cyprus with ten triremes, in aid of their ally Evagoras. (24)
The whole flotilla fell into the Spartan's hands--a curious instance, it
may be added, of cross purposes on the part of both belligerents. Here
were the Athenians, supposed to be on friendly terms with the king,
engaged in sending an allied force to support Evagoras, who was at open
war with him; and here again was Teleutias, the representative of a
people at war with Persia, engaged in crippling a fleet which had been
despatched on a mission hostile to their adversary. Teleutias put
back into Cnidus to dispose of his captives, and so eventually reached
Rhodes, where his arrival brought timely aid to the party in favour of
Lacedaemon.

B.C. 389. (25) And now the Athenians, fully impressed with the belief
that their rivals were laying the basis of a new naval supremacy,
despatched Thrasybulus the Steirian to check them, with a fleet of forty
sail. That officer set sail, but abstained from bringing aid to Rhodes,
and for good reasons. In Rhodes the Lacedaemonian party had hold of
the fortress, and would be out of reach of his attack, especially as
Teleutias was close at hand to aid them with his fleet. On the other
hand, his own friends ran no danger of succumbing to the enemy, as
they held the cities and were numerically much stronger, and they had
established their superiority in the field. Consequently he made for
the Hellespont, where, in the absence of any rival power, he hoped to
achieve some stroke of good fortune for his city. Thus, in the first
place, having detected the rivalries existing between Medocus, (26)
the king of the Odrysians, and Seuthes, (27) the rival ruler of the
seaboard, he reconciled them to each other, and made them friends and
allies of Athens; in the belief that if he secured their friendship the
Hellenic cities on the Thracian coast would show greater proclivity
