During the winter the Syracusans built a wall on to the city, so as to take
in the statue of Apollo Temenites, all along the side looking towards
Epipolae, to make the task of circumvallation longer and more difficult, in

in the Olympieum, and stuck palisades along the sea wherever there was a
landing place.

marched with all their people to Catana, and ravaged the land and set fire

Learning also that the Athenians were sending an embassy to Camarina, on
the strength of the alliance concluded in the time of Laches, to gain, if
possible, that city, they sent another from Syracuse to oppose them.
They had a shrewd suspicion that the Camarinaeans had not sent what they
did send for the first battle very willingly; and they now feared that would refuse to assist them at all in future,
after seeing the success of the Athenians in the action, and would join the
latter on the strength of their old friendship.

Hermocrates, with some others, accordingly arrived at Camarina from
Syracuse, and Euphemus and others from the Athenians; and an assembly of the Camarinaeans having been convened, Hermocrates spoke
as follows, in the hope of prejudicing them against the
Athenians:—
