The Athenians, however did not go to the
temple, but collected their dead and laid them upon a pyre, and passed the
night upon the field.
The next day they gave the enemy back their dead under truce, to the number
of about two hundred and sixty, Syracusans and allies, and gathered together
the bones of their own, some fifty, Athenians and allies, and taking the
spoils of the enemy, sailed back to Catana.

It was now winter; and it did not seem possible for the moment to carry on the war before
Syracuse, until horse should have been sent for from Athens and levied among
the allies in Sicily—to do away with their utter inferiority in
cavalry—and money should have been collected in the country and
received from Athens, and until some of the cities, which they hoped would
be now more disposed to listen to them after the battle, should have been
brought over, and corn and all other necessaries provided, for a campaign in
the spring against Syracuse.
