Θουρίοις ἐπέπλει Διονύσιος, καὶ τριακοσίας ἦγεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ναῦς ὁπλιτῶν πεπληρωμένας· βορρᾶς δὲ ἀντιπνεύσας τὰ σκάφη συνέτριψε, καὶ τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ τὴν ναυτικὴν ἠφάνισεν. ἐκ δὴ τούτων οἱ Θούριοι τῷ βορρᾷ ἔθυσαν, καὶ ἐψηφίσαντο εἶναι τὸν ἄνεμον πολίτην, καὶ οἰκίαν αὐτῷ καὶ κλῆρον ἀπεκλήρωσαν, καὶ καθʼ ἕκαστον ἔτος ἐπετέλουν αὐτῷ. οὔκουν Ἀθηναῖοι μόνοι κηδεστὴν αὐτὸν ἐνόμιζον, ἀλλὰ καὶ Θούριοι εὐεργέτην αὐτὸν ἐπέγραψαν. Παυσανίας δέ φησιν ὅτι καὶ Μεγαλοπολῖται.
