4For all these things Nicias was free from blame, while as general he captured Cythera,[26] an island favourably situated for the command of Laconia and inhabited by Lacedaemonians; he captured also many places in Thrace[27] which had revolted, and brought them back to their allegiance; having shut up the Megarians in their city he straightway seized the island of Minoa,[28] and shortly after, from this base of operations, got possession of Nisaea;[29] he also made a descent upon the territory of Corinth,[30] defeated the Corinthians in battle and slew many of them, including Lycophron their general.
