[5] In Syracuse, civil strife having broken out between the friends of Dion and Callippus,1 Dion's friends were defeated, fled to Leontini, and, after a short time, when Hipparinus son of Dionysius2 had put ashore at Syracuse with troops, Callippus was defeated and driven from the city, and Hipparinus, having recovered his father's realm, ruled for two years.

1 See chap. 31.7; Plut. Dion 58.1-3; Polyaenus 5.4.

2 This Hipparinus was son of the elder Dionysius and of Dion's sister Aristomache, hence half-brother of the younger Dionysius.
