Now at this time,About 510. as the Sybarites say, they and their king Telys were making ready to march against +Croton [17.1333,39.0833] (Perseus) Croton, and the men of +Croton [17.1333,39.0833] (Perseus) Croton, who were very much afraid, entreated Dorieus to come to their aid. Their request was granted, and Dorieus marched with them to +Sybaris [16.4833,39.75] (Perseus) Sybaris helping them to take it.

This is the story which the Sybarites tell of Dorieus and his companions, but the Crotoniats say that they were aided by no stranger in their war with +Sybaris [16.4833,39.75] (Perseus) Sybaris with the exception of Callias, an Elean diviner of the Iamid clan. About him there was a story that he had fled to +Croton [17.1333,39.0833] (Perseus) Croton from Telys, the tyrant of +Sybaris [16.4833,39.75] (Perseus) Sybaris, because as he was sacrificing for victory over +Croton [17.1333,39.0833] (Perseus) Croton, he could obtain no favorable omens.
