Histories

When he had made +Syracuse [15.3,37.0667] (Perseus) Syracuse his own, he took less account of his rule over +Gela [14.25,37.0667] (Perseus) Gela, which he gave in charge to his brother Hiero; over +Syracuse [15.3,37.0667] (Perseus) Syracuse he reigned, and all his care was for +Syracuse [15.3,37.0667] (Perseus) Syracuse.

Straightway that city grew and became great, for not only did Gelon bring all the people of Camarina to +Syracuse [15.3,37.0667] (Perseus) Syracuse and give them its citizenship, razing the township of Camarina, but he did the same thing to more than half of the townsmen of +Gela [14.25,37.0667] (Perseus) Gela, and when the Megarians [*](At Hybla, N. of +Syracuse [15.3,37.0667] (Perseus) Syracuse, on the E. coast of Sicily [14,37.5] (region), Italy, Europe Sicily.) in Sicily [14,37.5] (region), Italy, Europe Sicily surrendered to him on terms after a siege, he took the wealthier of them, who had made war on him and expected to be put to death for this, and brought them to +Syracuse [15.3,37.0667] (Perseus) Syracuse to be citizens there. As for the common people of +Megara [23.35,38] (Perseus) Megara, who had had no hand in the making of that war and expected that no harm would be done them, these too he brought to +Syracuse [15.3,37.0667] (Perseus) Syracuse and sold them for slaves to be taken out of Sicily [14,37.5] (region), Italy, Europe Sicily.
