After this the Athenians set up a trophy and
restored to the Syracusans their dead under truce, receiving in return
Lamachus and those who had fallen with him.
The whole of their forces, naval and military, being now with them, they
began from Epipolae and the cliffs and enclosed the Syracusans with a double
wall down to the sea.
[2]
Provisions were now brought in for the armament from all parts of Italy; and many of the Sicels, who had hitherto been looking to see how things
went, came as allies to the Athenians: there also arrived three ships of
fifty oars from Tyrrhenia.
Meanwhile everything else progressed favourably for their hopes.
[3]
The Syracusans began to despair of finding safety in arms, no relief having
reached them from Peloponnese, and were now proposing terms of capitulation
among themselves and to Nicias, who after the death of Lamachus was left
sole commander.
[4]
No decision was come to, but as was natural with men in difficulties and
besieged more straitly than before, there was much discussion with Nicias
and still more in the town.
Their present misfortunes had also made them suspicious of one another; and the blame of their disasters was thrown upon the ill-fortune or
treachery of the generals under whose command they had happened; and these were deposed and others, Heraclides, Eucles, and Tellias, elected
in their stead.
