The Athenians had lost the battle, and they were trying to get away. They were trapped and could not escape. They had no food, and tried to make a treaty, but were refused.They finally fought. Many were killed by the Sycrucians, and all the rest were captured. Nicias was captured. He was very sick, the sickness having gotten worse. The Sycrucians sold many of the people as slaves. The Athenians were in a sore plight.
More later,
Bell
