      a history of Greece and Sicily in 26 or 27 books. It was divided apparently into several
      parts, the first of which extended from the seizure of the Delphic temple by Philomelus (where
      the history of Callisthenes ended) to the siege of Perinthus, by Philip (<date when-custom="-357">B.
       C. 357</date>-<date when-custom="-340">340</date>), and the second from <date when-custom="-340">B. C.
       340</date> to 336, the date of Philip's death. The work was carried on, according to
      Diodorus, down to <date when-custom="-298">B. C. 298</date>, from which period Psaon, of Plataea,
      continued it. If we accede to Casaubon's substitution of <foreign xml:lang="grc">Δίυλλος</foreign> for <foreign xml:lang="grc">Δίδυμος</foreign>, in <bibl n="D. L. 5.76">D. L. 5.76</bibl>, we must reckon also a work on drinking-parties (<foreign xml:lang="grc">συμποσιακά</foreign>) among the writings of Diyllus. The exact period at
      which he flourished cannot be ascertained, but he belongs to the age of the Ptolemies. (<bibl n="Diod. 16.14">Diod. 16.14</bibl>, <bibl n="Diod. 16.76">76</bibl>, xxi., <hi rend="ital">Fragm.</hi> 5, p. 490; Plut. <hi rend="ital">de Herod. Mal.</hi> 26; Ath. iv. p. 155a, xiii.
