416 B.C.In the sixteenth year of the War
Arimnestus was archon among the Athenians, and in Rome in place of consuls four military tribunes were elected, Titus Claudius,
Spurius Nautius, Lucius Sentius, and Sextus Julius. And in this year among the Eleians the
Ninety-first Olympiad was celebrated, that in which Exaenetus of Acragas won the "stadion." The Byzantines and
Chalcedonians, accompanied by Thracians, made war in great force against Bithynia, plundered the land, reduced by siege many of the small
settlements, and performed deeds of exceeding cruelty; for of the many prisoners they took,
both men and women and children, they put all to the sword. About the same time in Sicily war broke out between the Egestaeans and the Selinuntians from a difference
over territory, where a river divided the lands of the quarrelling cities. The Selinuntians, crossing the stream, at first seized by force the land
along the river, but later they cut off for
412 B.C.When Callias was archon in Athens, the Romans elected in place of consuls four military
tribunes, Publius Cornelius . . . Gaius Fabius, and among the Eleians the Ninety-second
Olympiad was celebrated, that in which Exaenetus of Acragas won the "stadion." In this year it came to pass that, after the Athenians
had collapsed in Sicily, their supremacy was held in
contempt; for immediately the peoples of Chios, Samos,
Byzantium, and many of the allies revolted to
the Lacedaemonians. Consequently the Athenian people, being disheartened, of their own accord
renounced the democracy, and choosing four hundred men they turned over to them the
administration of the state. And the leaders of the oligarchy, after building a number of
triremes, sent out forty of them together with generals.Diodorus is most sketchy at this point and in the repetitive passage in chap. 36. A

The
Selinuntians, picking out their best horsemen, dispatched them at once by night, some to
Acragas, and others to Gela and Syracuse, asking them to
come to their aid with all speed, since their city could not withstand the strength of the
enemy for any great time. Now the Acragantini and Geloans
waited for the Syracusans, since they wished to lead their troops as one body against the
Carthaginians; and the Syracusans, on learning the facts about the siege, first stopped the war
they were engaged in with the Chalcidians and then spent some time in gathering the troops from
the countryside and making great preparations, thinking that the city might be forced by siege
to surrender but would not be taken by storm. Hannibal, when the night had passed, at daybreak launched assaults from
every side, and the part of the city's wall which had already fallen and the portion of the
wall next the breach he broke down with the siege-engines
While these events were taking place
there arrived at Acragas three thousand picked
soldiers from the Syracusans, who had been dispatched in advance with all speed to bring aid.
On learning of the fall of Selinus, they sent
ambassadors to Hannibal urging him both to release the captives on payment of ransom and to
spare the temples of the gods. Hannibal replied that the
Selinuntians, having proved incapable of defending their freedom, would now undergo the
exp he other fearing lest they should suffer the same fate as the
Selinuntians. Consequently, since the defenders put up a
struggle to the death on behalf of children and parents and the fatherland which all men fight
to defend, the barbarians were thrust out and the section of the wall quickly restored. To
their aid came also the Syracusans from Acragas and
troops from their other allies, some four thousand in all, who were under the command of
Diocles the Syracusan.
