46. The confidence of the Syracusans was restored by their unexpected success, and they sent¹ Sicanus with fifteen ships to Agrigentum, then in a state of revolution, that he might win over the place if he could. Gylippus had gone off again by land to collect a new army in the other parts of Sicily, hoping after the victory of Epipolae to carry the Athenian fortifications by storm.

1 Encouraged by their success the Syracusans seek for the third time aid in Sicily. They make an attempt on Agrigentum.
