8.41 The Athenians were told to save their households as best they could. They sent their families off to Troezen, Aegina, and Salamis.

8.42 Meanwhile, more ships joined the Greek fleet gathered at Salamis. Eurybiades was in command, but the Athenians provided the most ships.

8.43 The Peloponnesians together contributed 89 ships. Of these, 16 were Spartan and 40 were Corinthian.

8.44 The Athenians had 180 ships. The Plataeans weren't serving with them as they had at Artemisium: they were busy evacuating their city.

8.45 The Megarians had 20 ships, the Ambraciots 7, and the Leucadians 3.

8.46 Aegina had 30 ships at Salamis, and Chalcis 20. The Eretrians, Ceans, and Naxians were among the others who fought on the Greek side.

8.47 All these came from south of the river Acheron in NW Greece. Of those farther away, only the people of Croton helped, with one ship.

8.48 The Greeks had 378 triremes in all plus four penteconters (which the Melians, Siphnians, and Seriphians supplied).

8.49 The Greeks debated where they should meet the Persians at sea. Most wanted to sail to the Isthmus & fight off the Peloponnesian coast.

8.50 While they were debating, news came that the Persians were in Attica, having burned Thespia and Plataea on their way through Boeotia.
