Pharnabazus now sailed with his prisoners toLycia , and Autophradates attacked the other islands of theAegean sea , which espoused the cause ofAlexander the Great . But Pharnabazus soon after joined Autophradates again, and both sailed againstTenedos , which was induced by fear to surrender to the Persians.rf|2|arr_2.1 During these expeditions Autophradates also laid siege to the town ofAtarneus inMysia , but without success.rf|3|aris_2.4.10References
