Some examples from my notes :
1. One of the best is the unboarding of troops at the mouth of river Tomeres by Nearch, the admiral of Alexander, when he sailed back from India.
Arrian, Historia Indica, ch.5, s.9, l.3
2. A mythical example would be the unboarding of Heracles' troops in his expedition against Troy. The landing of the Greeks of Agamemnon also was disputed but I do not have the ref at hand at the moment.
Polyaenus, Strategemata, B.1, ch.3, s.3, l.1
3. Demetrius attacked Ptolemy's ships as they disembarked soldiers in Cyprus.
Polyaenus, Strategemata, B.4, ch.7, s.7, l.8
4. The Illyrians attacked Aemilius Paulus at Demale
Polybius, Historiae, B.3, ch.18, p.10, l.1
5. Leucon attacked the Heracleans
Polyaenus, Strategemata, B.6, ch.9, s.4, l.1
6. A certain landing of Diotimos
Polyaenus, Strategemata, B.5, ch.22, s.4, l.1
