διὸ καὶ τὸν ἔσχατον ἀγῶνα τιθεμένων αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τέκνων καὶ γονέων καὶ τῆς περιμαχήτου πᾶσι πατρίδος, ἐξεώσθησαν οἱ βάρβαροι, καὶ ταχὺ τὸ μέρος τοῦ τείχους ἀνῳκοδόμησαν. παρεγενήθησαν δʼ αὐτοῖς εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν οἵ τʼ ἐξ Ἀκράγαντος Συρακόσιοι καί τινες τῶν ἄλλων συμμάχων, οἱ πάντες εἰς τετρακισχιλίους, ὧν Διοκλῆς ὁ Συρακόσιος εἶχε τὴν ἡγεμονίαν.
