At Karthaginiensium dux Hamilcar, cum obsideret Syracusas, inter somnum exaudisse uocem credidit nuntiantem futurum ut proximo die in ea urbe cenaret. laetus igitur perinde ac diuinitus promissa uictoria exercitum pugnae conparabat. in quo inter Siculos et Poenos orta dissensione, castris eius Syracusani subita inruptione oppressis ipsum intra moenia sua uinctum pertraxerunt. ita magis spe quam somnio deceptus cenauit Syracusis captiuus, non, ut animo praesumpserat, uictor.
