      residing at Gela when Sicily was invaded for the second time by the Carthaginians under
      Hannibal, the grandson of Ilamilcar, in <date when-custom="-406">B. C. 406</date>. At the request of
      the Agrigentines, on whom the storm first fell, he came to their aid with a body of
      mercenaries which he had collected for the purpose ; but he did not escape the charge of
      corruption and treachery which proved fatal to four of the Agrigentine generals. When the
      defence of Agrigentum became hopeless, Dexippus returned to Gela, the protection of that place
      having been assigned him by the Syracusans, who formed the main stay of the Grecian interest
      in the island. Not long after, he was dismissed from Sicily by Dionysius, whose objects in
      Gela he had refused to aid. (<bibl n="Diod. 13.85">Diod. 13.85</bibl>, <bibl n="Diod. 13.87">87</bibl>, <bibl n="Diod. 13.88">88</bibl>, <bibl n="Diod. 13.93">93</bibl>, <bibl n="Diod. 13.9">9</bibl>(.) </p><byline>[<ref target="author.E.E">E.E</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
