Excerpt: ...foundation of Rome, and consequently about the time we are now speaking of. This second treaty was very near the same with the first, except that the inhabitants of Tyre and Utica were expressly comprehended in it, and joined with the Carthaginians. A.M. 3656. A. Carth. 498. A. Rom. 400. Ant. J.C. 348. After the death of the elder Dionysius, Syracuse was involved in great troubles. 633 Dionysius the younger, who had been expelled, restored himself by force of arms, and exercised great cruelties there.

Timoleon had scarce above a thousand soldiers under his command; and yet, with this handful of men, he marched boldly to the relief of Syracuse. His small army increased in proportion as he advanced. The Syracusans were now in a desperate condition, and quite hopeless. They saw the Carthaginians masters of the port; Icetes of the city; and Dionysius of the citadel.
