BOOK XV. XLI

Ch. 9. Orontes, placed in supreme command, grants peace on fairer terms and puts an end to the Cyprian war. Gaos or Glos, son-in-law of Tiribazus, defects to the king of the Egyptians and solicits him and the Lacedaemonians to war against Artaxerxes. 10. Tiribazus, after his case was heard, is acquitted of the charges. 11. Tiribazus is treated with the highest honor by the king of the Persians, Orontes with utter disgrace. 12. The Lacedaemonians, having captured and destroyed Mantinea, distribute the inhabitants again among several villages. 13. Dionysius, having undertaken many enterprises, entered into a treaty with the Illyrians and aided them in war against the Molossians. Aided by him, the Parians lead a colony to the island of Pharos. Dionysius builds shipyards, gymnasia, and temples. Ol. 99, 1 : 384 BC 14. The Illyrians, attacking Pharos, are overwhelmed by Dionysius' admiral. Dionysius plunders a very rich temple situated on the coast of Etruria. Enriched by these resources, he undertakes a new war against the Carthaginians. Ol. 99, 2 : 383 BC 15. The cities of Sicily which had defected from the Carthaginians to Dionysius, the Carthaginians seek to recover: routed in two battles, they send envoys concerning peace. 16. The Carthaginians, by deceit, gather new strength and defeat Dionysius near Cronium. 17. The great disaster of Dionysius is described. The Phoenicians grant Dionysius a not unfair peace. 18. Glos and Tachos, who had stirred up war against the king of the Persians, die. The Clazomenians and Cumaeans contend over Leuce, the city which Tachos had founded. 19. The Lacedaemonians send Phoebidas to aid Amyntas, king of the Macedonians, against the Olynthians. Agesipolis, the other king of the Lacedaemonians, prefers to keep the peace; Agesilaus strives to recover his supremacy. Ol. 99, 3 : 382 BC 20. Phoebidas, setting out against the Olynthians, seizes the citadel of Thebes on the march. The Olynthian war is entrusted to his brother Eudamidas.
