About the same time Phaeax, son of
Erasistratus, set sail with two colleagues as ambassador from Athens to
Italy and Sicily.
The Leontines, upon the departure of the Athenians from Sicily after the
pacification, had placed a number of new citizens upon the roll, and the
commons had a design for redividing the land; but the upper classes, aware of their intention, called in the Syracusans
and expelled the commons.
These last were scattered in various directions; but the upper classes came to an agreement with the Syracusans, abandoned

the danger is common to all, and to Italy to get them to become our allies,
or at all events to refuse to receive the Athenians.
I also think that it would be best to send to Carthage as well; they are by no means there without apprehension, but it is their constant
fear that the Athenians may one day attack their city, and they may perhaps
think that they might themselves suffer by letting Sicily be sacrificed, and
be willing to help us secretly if not openly, in one way if not in another.
They are the best able to do so,
