1 339/8 B.C.
2 Lysimachides was archon at Athens from July 339 to June 338 B.C. The consuls of 342 B.C. were Q. Servilius Ahala and C. Marcius Rutilus (Broughton, 1.133).
3 Plut. Timoleon 30.1-2. Another group of the impious mercenaries is mentioned also in 30.4.
4 This story does not appear in Plutarch.
5 "Freedom" in Greek political terminology did not exclude the possibility of an overlord, Carthage or Syracuse. Plut. Timoleon 34.1 does not mention this feature of the treaty.
6 Diodorus usually calls this river Halycus (Books 15.17.5; 23.9.5; 24.1.8).
7 Plut. Timoleon 31.2-32.1. Since Timoleon had just accepted the aid of Hicetas against the Carthaginians (chap. 77.5), this change of policy suggests some duplicity on his part (Westlake, Timoleon and his Relations with Tyrants, 15 f).
8 This is not mentioned by Plutarch.
9 This was Diodorus's own native city.
10 Plut. Timoleon 22.3-5; 23 (where the invitation was issued when Timoleon first became master of Syracuse); 35. According to the historian Athanis, quoted by Plut. Timoleon 23.4; Jacoby, Fragm. der gr. Hist. no. 562, F 2), there were 60,000 who came. Cp. further Book 19.2.8.
11 Cp. Book 13.33 and 35.
