had lost his fortune because of a political upheaval and was completely impoverished, went over
from Italy to Cyrene with sufficient funds and restored to Prorus his fortune, although he had

Cyrene with sufficient funds and restored to Prorus his fortune, although he had
never seen the man before and knew no more of him than that he was a Pythagorean. Of many others also it is recorded that they have done something of this
kind. And it was not only in the giving away of money that they showed themselves so devoted to

So, for example, while Dionysius was tyrantThe Elder, in Syracuse, 405-367 B.C. and
a certain Phintias, a Pythagorean, who had formed
a plot against the tyrant, was about to suffer the penalty for it, he asked Dionysius for time

the Athenians acceded to his request, he then, wishing to take with him secretly a larger
number of hoplites, had recourse to the following cunning subterfuge. The citizens thought that
he would enrol for the force the young men in the prime of youth and most v

end of the year the Athenians bestowed the office of archon upon Euctemon and the Romans
elected as consuls Marcus Papirius and Spurius Nautius, and the Ninety-third Olympiad was
celebrated, that in which Eubatus of Cyrene won the
"stadion." About this time the Athenian generals, now that they had taken possession of
Byzantium, proceeded against the Hellespont and took every one of the cities of that region with
the exception of Abydus.The Lacedaemonian base.
Then they left Diodorus and Mantitheus in charge with an
adequate force and themselves sailed to Athens with
the ships and the spoils, having performed many great deeds for the fatherland. When they drew
near the city, the populace in a body, overjoyed at their successes, came out to meet them, and
great numbers of the aliens, as well as children and women, flocked to the Peiraeus. For the return of the generals gave great cause for amazement, in that
