They were conquered Sicanians, in the position of the Spartan Helots.] 146 [ {pakheas}: cp. v. 30.] 147 [ {gar}: inserted conjecturally by many Editors.] 148 [ See v. 46.] 149 [ {e ke meg oimexeie}, the beginning of a Homeric hexameter, cp.

There can be little doubt however that the Skythes mentioned in vi. 23 was the father of this Cadmos, and we know from Thuc. vi. 4 that the Samians were deprived of the town soon after they had taken it, by Anaxilaos, who gave it the name of Messene, and no doubt put Cadmos in possession of it, as the son of the former king.] 156 [ Cp. ch. 154.] 157 [ i.e. 300,000.] 159 [ The MSS. add either {os Karkhedonioi}, or {os Karkhedonioi kai Surekosioi}, but the testimony of the Carthaginians has just been given, {os Phoinikes legousi}, and the Syracusans professed to be unable to discover anything of him at all.
