XXXVIII ARGUMENT

Ch. Ol. 97, 3 : 390 BC 99. Artaxerxes makes war on the Lacedaemonians, sending Struthas, who defeats and slays Thibron, the Lacedaemonian commander. — Thrasybulus, the Athenian commander, is slain by treachery at Aspendus. The Athenian fleet attacks Rhodes. Agyrius is appointed in Thrasybulus' place. 100. Dionysius' war against the Rhegians. Routed in battle and tossed by a storm, he himself with difficulty takes refuge in the harbor of Messana. Having joined a treaty with the Lucanians, he returns to Syracuse. 101. Against the Lucanians, who are making incursions into the territory of the Thurians, all the Greeks of Italy prepare war. The Greeks, having entered Lucania, surrounded by mountains and the enemy's forces, fall into the greatest danger. 102. Routed in battle, the Greeks make peace with the Lucanians, through the mediation of Leptines, whom Dionysius had sent to aid the Lucanians. Leptines' command is abrogated. 103. The Romans divide the territory of Veii, and wage war on the Aequi and Veliterni. Satricum revolts; a colony is led to Circeii. Ol. 97, 4 : 389 BC 104. Dionysius' expedition into Italy. With the ships of the Rhegians captured, Caulonia is besieged. The Greeks who inhabit Italy choose Heloris, expelled by Dionysius, as their commander. 105. Heloris joins battle with Dionysius, in which he himself falls with very many of his men. 106. The remaining Greeks, gathered from flight and occupying a hill, are compelled by Dionysius to surrender. Dismissing them with singular clemency, and granting peace and freedom to the cities, Dionysius procured for himself the gratitude of all. 107. The Rhegians purchase peace from Dionysius. Caulonia is devastated; its citizens migrate to Syracuse. 108. The Romans, having defeated the Aequi, celebrate games for Jupiter. Ol. 98, 1 : 388 BC 108. Dionysius gives the territory of Hipponium to the Locrians; he proceeds to take vengeance on the Rhegians. Having sought a new cause of enmity, Dionysius attacks Rhegium.
