Gillus chose to be restored to Tarentum and told the story of hisTarentum and told the story of his misfortune; but, so as not to be the occasion of agitating Greece, if on his account a great expedition sailed against Italy, he said that it was enough that the Cnidians alone be his escort; for he supposed that the Tarentines would be the readier to receive him back as the Cnidians were their friends. Darius kept his word, andrd, and sent a messenger to the men of Cnidos, telling them to take Gillus back to Tarentum.
