Diodorus suggests the Allied fleet was aligned east-west, spanning the straits between Salamis and Mount Aigaleo; however, it is unlikely that the Allies would have rested one of their flanks against Persian occupied territory.
Diodorus mener, at den allierede flåde var placeret i øst-vestlig retning og dækkede strædet mellem Salamis og Aigaleosbjerget; men det er nok usandsynligt, at de allierede ville have placeret en af deres flanker op mod persisk besat område.
