Histories

In their journey a thing happened to them such as I will show. As they voyaged to Sicily [14,37.5] (region), Italy, Europe Sicily, the Samians came to the country of the Epizephyrian [*](“The epithet distinguishes the Italiot colony from the Locrians of the mother country” (How and Wells).) Locrians at a time when the people of Zancle [15.5667,38.1833] (Perseus) Zancle and their king (whose name was Scythes) were besieging a Sicilian town desiring to take it.

Learning this, Anaxilaus the tyrant of Reggio di Calabria [15.65,38.1] (inhabited place), Reggio di Calabria, Calabria, Italy, Europe Rhegium, being then in a feud with the Zanclaeans, joined forces with the Samians and persuaded them to leave off their voyage to the Fair Coast and seize Zancle [15.5667,38.1833] (Perseus) Zancle while it was deserted by its men.
