1 See Livy, 7.16.2-6.
2 Callippus was a member of Plato's Academy (cf. Athenaeus 11.508e; Diogenes Laertius 3.46; Suidas; only "an Athenian" in Plat. L. 7.333e, quoted by Plut. Dion 54) who accompanied his friend Dion to Syracuse. Claiming that Dion was substituting one tyranny for another but actually wishing to get power himself, Callippus effected his assassination. (See Beloch, op. cit. 3.1.261 and note, and Hackforth, Cambridge Ancient History, 6.284 f.) Parallel accounts are Plut. Dion 54-57; Nepos Dion 8-10 (Callicrates sic).
