At the death[*](In 498.) of Cleandrus son of Pantares, who had been tyrant of +Gela [14.25,37.0667] (Perseus) Gela for seven years, and had been slain by a man of that city named Sabyllus, the sovereignty passed to Cleandrus' brother Hippocrates. While Hippocrates was tyrant, Gelon, a descendant of the ministering priest Telines, was one of Hippocrates' guard, as were Aenesidemus son of Pataecus and many others.
