423 B.C.When Ameinias was archon in Athens, the
Romans elected as consuls Gaius Papirius and Lucius Junius. In this year the people of
Scione, holding the Athenians in contempt because
of their defeat at Delium, revolted to the
Lacedaemonians and delivered their city into the hands of Brasidas, who was in command of the
Lacedaemonian forces in Thrace. In Lesbos, after the Athenian seizure of Mytilene, the exiles, who had escaped the capture in large numbers, had for some
time been trying to return to Lesbos, and they
succeeded at this time in rallying and seizing Antandrus,On the south coast of the Troad, some fifteen miles
from Lesbos. from which as their base they
then carried on war with the Athenians who were in possession of Mytilene. Exasperated by

SYRACUSE
Anti'ochus of SYRACUSE
(*)Anti/oxos), of SYRACUSE, a son of Xenophanes, is called by Dionysius of Halicarnassus (Ant. Rom. 1.12) a very ancient historian.
He lived about the year B. C. 423, and was thus a contemporary of Thucydides and the Peloponnesian war. (Joseph. c. Apion. 1.3.) Respecting his life nothing is known, but his historical works were held in very high esteem by the ancients on account of their accuracy. (Dionys. A. R. 1.73.)
Works
His two works were:
1. A history of Sicily
In nine books, from the reign of king Cocalus, i. e. from the earliest times down to the year B. C. 424 or 425. (Diod. 12.71.)
It is referred to by Pausanias (10.11.3), Clemens of Alexandria (Protrept. p. 22), and Theodoret. (P. 115.).
2. A history of Italy
This is very frequently referred to by Strabo (v. p.242, vi. pp. 252, 254, 255, 257, 262, 264, 265, 278), by Dionysius (ll. cc., and 1.22, 35; comp. Steph. Byz. s. v. *Bre/ttios ; Hesych. s. v. *Xw/nrhn; Niebuhr, Hist. of Rome, i. p. 14,
Aristeus
3. A Spartan commander, B. C. 423. (Thuc. 4.132.)
Athenaeus
(*)Aqh/naios), historical.
The name differed in pronunciation from the Greek adjective for Athenian, the former being accentuated *)Aqh/naios, and the latter *)Aqhnai=os. (Eustath. ad Il. b. p. 237.) ].
1. Son of Pericleidas, a Lacedaemonian, was one of the commissioners, who, on the part of the Lacedaemonians and their allies, ratified the truce for one year which in B. C. 423 was made between the Lacedaemonians and Athenians and their allies; and afterwards with Aristonymus, an Athenian, went round to announce the truce to Brasidas and other officers of the belligerent parties. (Thuc. 4.119, 122.)
The names Athenaeus and Pericleidas mark the friendly relations which subsisted between this family and the Athenians, and more especially the family of Pericle
Atrati'nus
5. C. Sempronius Atratinus, A. F. A. N., son of No. 2, whence he is called by Livy (4.44) the patronus of No. 4, was consul B. C. 423, and had the conduct of the war against the Volscians. Through his negligence and carelessness the Roman army was nearly defeated, and was saved only through the exertions of Sex. Tempanius, one of the officers of the cavalry.
The battle was undecided, when night put an end to it; and both armies abandoned their camps, considering it lost.
The conduct of Atratinus excited great indignation at Rome, and he was accordingly accused by the tribune L. Hortensius, but the charge was dropt in consequence of the entreaties of Tempanius and three others of his colleagues, who had served under Atratinus, and had been elected tribunes.
It was revived, however, in 420, and Atratinus was condemned to pay a heavy fine. (Liv. 4.37-42, 44; V. Max. 6.5.2.)
Au'tocles
(*Au)toklh=s).
1. Son of Tolmaeus, was one of the Athenian commanders in the successful expedition against Cythera, B. C. 424 (Thuc. 4.53); and, together with his two colleagues, Nicias and Nicostratus, he ratified, on the part of Athens, the truce which in B. C. 423 was concluded for one year with Sparta. (Thuc. 4.119
Canuleius
2. M. Canuleius, tribune of the plebs, B. C. 420, accused C. Sempronius Atratinus, who had been consul in B. C. 423, on account of his misconduct in the Volscian war. [ATRATINUS, No. 5.] Canuleius and his colleagues introduced in the senate this year the subject of an assignment of the public land. (Liv. 4.44.)
