Note 990 — Chapter LXXXII · SICILY DURING THE DESPOTISM OF THE ELDER DIONYSIUS AT SYRACUSE.
Reading edition
It is said that the Campanians, on their way to Syracuse, passed by Agyrium, and deposited their baggage in the care of Agyris the despot of that town (Diodor. xiv, 9). But if we look at the position of Agyrium on the map, it seems difficult to understand how mercenaries coming from the Carthaginian territory, and in great haste to reach Syracuse, can have passed anywhere near to it.
