Ducetius, after founding Palice and enclosing it with strong walls, portioned out the
neighbouring countryside in allotments. And it came to pass that this city, on account of the
fertility of the soil and the multitude of colonists, enjoyed a rapid growth.
[2]
It did not, however, prosper for long, but was razed to the ground and
has remained without habitation until our own day; regarding this we shall give a detailed
account in connection with the appropriate period of time.1
[3]
Such, then, was the state of
affairs in Sicily. In Italy, fifty-eight years after the Crotoniates had destroyed Sybaris, a Thessalian2 gathered together the
Sybarites who remained and founded Sybaris anew;
it lay between two rivers, the Sybaris and the
Crathis.
[4]
And since the settlers possessed a fertile land they
quickly advanced in wealth. But they had possessed the city only a few years when they were
again driven out of Sybaris, regarding which event
we shall undertake to give a detailed account in the following Book.34
