itoline Fasti as L. F. P. N., consular tribune five times, namely in B. C. 414, 406, 403, 401, 398 (Liv. 4.49, 58, 5.1, 10, 14). He was also twice consul; first in B. C. 393, with P. Cornelius Maluginensis Cossus, in which year both consuls had to resign, through some fault in the auspices (vitio facli), and L. Lucretius Flavus Tricipitinus and Ser. Sulpicius Camerinus were chosen in their stead; and a second time in the following year, B. C. 392, with M. Manlius, in which year both the consuls celebrated the great games, which had been vowed by the dictator M. Furius, and also carried on war against the Aequi. In consequence of their success in this war, Valerius obtained the honour of a triumph, and Manlius of an ovation (Liv. 5.31; Dionys. A. R. 1.74). In the same year Valerius was the third interrex appointed for holding the comitia (Liv. 5.31), and in B. C. 390, the year in which Rome was taken by the Gauls, he was magister equitum to the dictator M. Furius Camillus. (Liv. 5.48.)

uoted under the title Annales (Gel. 9.13.6), sometimes as Historiae (Priscian. p. 697, ed. Putsch.) and sometimes as Rerum Romanarum Libri (Non. s. v. pristis), commenced immediately after the destruction of Rome by the Gauls, and must in all probability have extended down to the death of Sulla, since there were at least twenty-three books (Gel. 10.13), and the seventh consulship of Marius was commemorated in the nineteenth. The first book embraced the events comprised in the period from B. C. 390 down to the subjugation of the Samnites. The struggle with Pyrrhus was the chief subject of the second and third; the first Punic war commenced in the third, and was continued through the fourth; the second Punic war commenced in the fifth, which contained the battle of Cannae; the siege of Capua was included in the sixth; the hostilities with the Achaean league and Numantia in the eighth, and the seventh consulship of Marius in the nineteenth, as was remarked above. By Livy he is unifor
leu'tias (*Teleuti/as), a Spartan, was brother on the mother's side to Agesilaus II., by whose influence he was appointed to the command of the fleet, in B. C. 393, in the war of the Lacedaemonians against Corinth and the other states of the hostile league. In this capacity, in the same year, he recovered from the Corinthians the mastery of the Corinthian gulf, and sailed up to Lecheum, where he co-operated with the land force under Agesilaus, and took the ships and docks of the enemy. In B. C. 390, he was sent to Asia to supersede Ecdicus as admiral [ECDICUS]. On his arrival at Samos he added some vessels to his squadron, sailed on to Cnidus, where he received the fleet from Ecdicus, and then proceeded towards Rhodes. On his voyage he fell in with and captured ten Athenian triremes, which were on their way to Cyprus under the command of Philocrates, to aid Evagoras against the king of Persia [PHILOCRATES, No. 2]. Hereupon the Athenians sent out Thrasybulus, with forty ships, to act
Thea'rides (*Qeari/dhs), a Syracusan, son of Hermocrates and brother of Dionysius the elder, tyrant of Syracuse. He is first mentioned in B. C. 390, when he was appointed by Dionysius to succeed his brother Leptines in the command of the fleet. The next year he commanded an expedition to the Liparaean islands, where he captured ten ships belonging to the Rhegians. Again in B. C. 388 he was chosen by his brother to conduct the magnificent procession which Dionysius sent to the Olympic festival. (Diod. xiv 102, 103, 109.) [E.H.B
Theri'machus (*Qhri/maxos), was the Spartan harmost at Methymna in Lesbos, when the city was attacked by Thrasybulus, the Athenian, in B. C. 390. Therimachus gave battle to the enemy, and was defeated and slain. These events are placed by Diodorus in B. C. 392. (Xen. Hell. 5.8. §§ 28, 29; Diod. 14.94.) [
were preparing to renew the civil war, were overpowered, and a new act of amnesty was passed with respect to them, the credit of which seems to have belonged to Thrasybulus and his friends. (Xen. Hell. 2.4. §§ 2-43; Diod. 14.32, 33; Paus. 1.29.3, 3.5. § l; Plut. Lys. 27.) In B. C. 395 we find Thrasybulus moving the decree for an alliance between Thebes and Athens, when the former was menaced by Sparta, and leading an army to the help of the Thebans (Paus. 3.5.4; Xen. Hell. 3.5.16, &c). In B. C. 390 Thrasybulus was sent with forty ships to aid the democratical Rhodians against Teleutias. Not finding that he could be of any service at Rhodes, he sailed away to Thrace, where he reconciled two Odrysian princes, Amadocus and Seuthes, and brought them to enter into alliance with Athens. Seuthes offered to give him his daughter in marriage. He then proceeded to Byzantium, where by the aid of Archebius and Heracleides he established the democratical party, and restored the Athenian interest.
Vibula'nus 5. M. Fabius Vibulanus, Q. F. M. N., eldest son of No. 4, was consul B. C. 442 with Postumus Aebutius Elva Cornicen, in which year a colony was founded at Ardea. In B. C. 437 he served as legatus of the dictator Mam. Aemilius Mamercinus in the war against the Veientes and Fidenates. In B. C. 433 he was one of the consular tribunes; and in B. C. 431 he served as legatus of the dictator A. Postumius Tubertus in the great war against the Aequians and Volscians. He lived till the capture of Rome by the Gauls, B. C. 390, where he is spoken of as pontifex maximus, and is said to have rehearsed the solemn formula, which was repeated after him by the aged senators who had resolved to await the entrance of the Gauls into the city, and who accordingly dedicated themselves to death. (Liv. 4.11; Diod. 12.34; Liv. 4.17, 19, 25 ; Diod. 12.58; Liv. 4.27, 28, 5.41.)
