Amphoterus deinde, classis praefectus, ad liberandam Cretam missus'namque et Persarum et Spartanorum armis pleraque eius insulae obsidebantur'ante omnia mare a piraticis classibus vindicare iussus; quippe obnoxium praedonibus erat, bello utrumque in regem converso.
Then Amphoterus, commander of the fleet, was sent to free Crete'for many parts of that island were beset by the arms both of the Persians and of the Spartans'with orders above all to clear the sea of the pirate fleets; for it was a prey to corsairs, who made war on both kings.
