In 48 BCE, Cleopatra of Egypt, dispatched Aya and Phoxidas to the Agean in search of the Roman general Pompey, who she sought to secure alliance with in order to capture the throne from her brother Ptolemy XIII. Aya and Phoxidas destroyed a number of Ptolemy's triremes before meeting with Pompey's fleet, which then also came under attack from Ptolemy's fleet.[2]

After destroying the enemy ships, Aya and Phoxidas board Pompey's octareme, and presented him with Cleopatra's proposal.[2]
