Συνέβη δέ τι τοιόνδε. Διονύσιος ἐνδιέτριβε τὁ̣?ʼ χωρίοις, προφάσεσι μὲν ἄλλοτε ἄλλαις, τὸ δὲ δὴ ἀληθές, οὔτε ἀπαλλαγῆναι τῆς Καλλιρρόης δυνάμενος οὔτε ἐπάγεσθαι θέλων αὐτήν· ἔμελλε γὰρ περιβόητος ὀφθεῖσα ἔσεσθαι καὶ τὸ κάλλος ὅλην τὴν Ἰωνίαν δουλαγωγήσειν, ἀναβήσεσθαί τε τὴν φήμην καὶ μέχρι τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως.
