5. ἡμεῖς δ᾽
ἐπεὶ τὰ κατὰ τὴν Μακεδονικὴν καὶ τὴν Ἰλλυρίδα διήλθομεν,
μεταβησόμεθα πρὸς τὰς ἑτερογενεῖς πράξεις. κατὰ γὰρ τὴν Σικελίαν
Διονύσιος ὁ τῶν Συρακοσίων τύραννος ὁ νεώτερος παρειληφὼς μὲν τὴν
δυναστείαν ἐν τοῖς ἀνωτέρω καιροῖς, ἄπρακτος δ᾽ ὢν καὶ πολὺ τοῦ
πατρὸς καταδεέστερος προσεποιεῖτο διὰ τὴν ἀπραγίαν εἰρηνικὸς εἶναι
καὶ πρᾷος τὸν τρόπον.
[2]
διόπερ πρὸς
Καρχηδονίους διαδεδεγμένος τὸν πόλεμον πρός τε τούτους εἰρήνην
συνέθετο καὶ πρὸς Λευκανοὺς ὁμοίως διαπολεμήσας ἀργῶς ἐπί τινα
χρόνον καὶ ταῖς τελευταίαις μάχαις ἐπὶ τοῦ προτερήματος γενόμενος
ἀσμένως πρὸς αὐτοὺς κατελύσατο τὸν πόλεμον.
[3]
κατὰ δὲ τὴν Ἀπουλίαν δύο πόλεις ἔκτισε βουλόμενος
ἀσφαλῆ τοῖς πλέουσι τὸν Ἰόνιον πόρον ποιῆσαι: οἱ γὰρ τὴν
παραθαλάττιον οἰκοῦντες βάρβαροι λῃστρίσι πολλαῖς πλέοντες ἄπλουν
τοῖς ἐμπόροις παρεσκεύαζον πᾶσαν τὴν περὶ τὸν Ἀδρίαν θάλατταν.
[4]
μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα δοὺς ἑαυτὸν εἰς βίον
εἰρηνικὸν ἐξέλυσε μὲν τῶν στρατιωτῶν τὰς ἐν τοῖς πολεμικοῖς
γυμνασίας, μεγίστην δὲ τῶν κατὰ τὴν Εὐρώπην δυναστειῶν παραλαβὼν τὴν
ἀρχὴν καὶ τὴν ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρὸς λεγομένην ἀδάμαντι δεδέσθαι τυραννίδα
διὰ τὴν ἰδίαν ἀνανδρίαν παραδόξως ἀπέβαλεν. τὰς δὲ αἰτίας τῆς
καταλύσεως καὶ τὰς κατὰ μέρος πράξεις ἀναγράφειν πειρασόμεθα.
