ὁ δ᾽
Ἱκέτης πυθόμενος τὴν τοῦ Τιμολέοντος διάβασιν καὶ φοβηθείς μετεπέμψατο πολλὰς τῶν Καρχηδονίων τριήρεις,
ὅτε καὶ παντάπασι
[p. 286]
συνέβη τοὺς Συρακουσίους ἀπογνῶναι τὴν σωτηρίαν,
ὁρῶντας τοῦ μὲν λιμένος αὐτῶν Καρχηδονίους
κρατοῦντας, τὴν δὲ πόλιν Ἱκέτην ἔχοντα,
τῆς δ᾽ ἄκρας κυριεύοντα Διονύσιον, Τιμολέοντα
δὲ ὥσπερ ἐκ κρασπέδου τινὸς λεπτοῦ τῆς Ταυρομενιτῶν
πολίχνης τῇ Σικελίᾳ προσηρτημένον ἐπ᾽
ἐλπίδος1 ἀσθενοῦς καὶ βραχείας δυνάμεως: χιλίων
γὰρ αὐτῷ στρατιωτῶν καὶ τροφῆς τούτοις ἀναγκαίας πλέον οὐδὲν ὑπῆρχεν.
