The Corcyraeans deploy their fleet at the island of Sybota and join forces with the Athenian and Zacynthian reinforcements, while the Corinthians are supported by the friendly barbarians on the mainland.
οἱ δὲ Κερκυραῖοι ὡς ᾔσθοντο αὐτοὺς προσπλέοντας, πληρώσαντες δέκα καὶ ἑκατὸν ναῦς, ὧν ἦρχε Μικιάδης καὶ Αἰσιμίδης καὶ Εὐρύβατος, ἐστρατοπεδεύσαντο ἐν μιᾷ τῶν νήσων αἳ καλοῦνται Σύβοτα· καὶ αἱ Ἀττικαὶ δέκα παρῆσαν.
The Corcyraeans, when they perceived them sailing against them, having manned a hundred and ten ships, of which Miciades, Aisimides, and Eurybatus were in command, encamped on one of the islands called Sybota; and the ten Attic ships were also present with them.
ἐπὶ δὲ τῇ Λευκίμμῃ αὐτοῖς1 τῷ ἀκρωτηρίῳ ὁ πεζὸς ἦν καὶ Ζακυνθίων χίλιοι ὁπλῖται βεβοηθηκότες.
On the promontory of Leukimme their land forces were stationed, as well as a thousand hoplites of the Zacynthians who had come to their aid.
ἦσαν δὲ καὶ τοῖς Κορινθίοις ἐν τῇ ἠπείρῳ πολλοὶ τῶν βαρβάρων παραβεβοηθηκότες·2 οἱ γὰρ ταύτῃ ἠπειρῶται αἰεί ποτε αὐτοῖς φίλοι εἰσίν.
For the Corinthians also, many of the barbarians on the mainland had come to their assistance; for the mainlanders in those parts have always been friendly to them.

Refers to the Corcyraeans. In this context, it functions as a dative of advantage (dativus commodi) or a dative of possession, indicating that the land forces were there "for them" or "belonging to them."
- 1.47.3ἦσαν... παραβεβοηθηκότες
This is a periphrastic pluperfect construction consisting of the copula ἦσαν and the perfect participle παραβεβοηθηκότες, indicating a state of "having come to assistance" completed prior to the point of time in the narrative.
