Grappling-irons were thrown by both,and the ships,being fastened together,could no longer manoeuvre,but the men,as in a battle on land,failed not in deeds of valor.As the ship of Menodorus was higher than the other his bridges made a better passage-way for those who ventured on them.Menodorus was pierced in the arm with a dart,which was,however,drawn out. Menecrates was struck in the thigh with a Spanish javelin,made wholly of iron with barbs,which could not be readily extracted.Although Menecrates could no longer take part in the fight,he remained there all the same,encouraging the others,until his ship was captured,when he plunged into the depths of the sea.Menodorus towed the captured ship to the land, but was able to do nothing more himself.Thus had fared the left wing of the naval fight. Calvisius directed his course from the right to the left and cut off some of Menecrates' ships from the main body, and when they fled pursued them to the open sea. Demochares, who was a fellow-freedman of Menecrates and his lieutenant, fell upon the remainder of Calvisius' ships, put some of them to flight, broke others in pieces on the rocks, and set fire to them after the crews had abandoned them. Finally Calvisius, returning from the pursuit, led back his own retreating ships and prevented the burning of any more. As night approached all rested in their stations of the previous night.Such was the end of this naval fight, in which the forces of Pompeius had much the best of it; but Demochares, grieving over the death of Menecrates as the greatest possible defeat abandoned everything and sailed for Sicily immediately, as though he had lost not merely the body of Menecrates and one ship, but his whole fleet.Calvisius remained at his station, unable to fight in the open sea, for his best ships had been destroyed and the others were unfit for battle. When he learned that his antagonist had gone to Sicily, he repaired his ships and coasted along the shore exploring the bays. Octavian, in the meantime, proceeded from Tarentum to Rhegium, with a large fleet and army, and near Messana came up with Pompeius, who had forty ships only.
