τούτοις δʼ ἦν παρηγγελμένον πυρὰ καίειν διʼ ὅλης τῆς νυκτὸς καὶ θορυβοποιεῖν πρὸς τὸ δόξαν ἐμποιῆσαι τοῖς Καρχηδονίοις ὡς μένοντος ἐν τῇ πόλει. οὗτοι μὲν οὖν ἤδη τῆς ἡμέρας ὑποφωσκούσης ἀφώρμησαν πρὸς τοὺς περὶ τὸν Διονύσιον, οἱ δὲ Καρχηδόνιοι διαισθόμενοι τὸ γεγονὸς μετεστρατοπέδευσαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὰ περιλειφθέντα κατὰ τὰς οἰκίας διήρπασαν.
