The Samians consented and seized Zancle [15.5667,38.1833] (Perseus) Zancle; when they learned that their city was taken, the Zanclaeans came to deliver it, calling to their aid Hippocrates the tyrant of Gela [14.25,37.0667] (Perseus)Gela, who was their ally.

But Hippocrates, when he came bringing his army to aid them, put Scythes the monarch of Zancle [15.5667,38.1833] (Perseus) Zancle and his brother Pythogenes in chains for losing the city, and sent them away to the city of Inyx. He betrayed the rest of the Zanclaeans to the Samians, with whom he had made an agreement and exchanged oaths.
