arriving before Ephesus, disembarked his heavy-
armed troops at Coressus, . . . and sent the rest
of his force to the marsh on the other side of the
city, and thus he approached with two different
bodies. The whole force of Ephesus marched out
in its defence, assisted by the confederates, the
Syracusan fleet, and two ships from Selinus. All
these advanced first against the heavy-armed troops
from Coressus, and after defeating them, pursued
them down to the sea, and then turned to meet the
body from the marsh, whom they also conquered.
The Ephesians erected a trophy, (of brass, Plutarch.
in Ale. 29,) on the marsh, and another at Coressus,
and on many of the Syracusans and Selinuntians

with the liberty of residing among them, and of
exemption from taxes ; and to the Selinuntians in
