When the Salaminia arrived at Katane to recall Alkibiades to Athens to face trial, he complained to Nikias that there were about as many Athenians as part of the expedition as there were back at the polis.

Alkibiades replied that he lied about Sokrates, and without originality as the complaint came from Aristophanes' The Clouds.
