Hierauf schickten die Syrakuser, denen nach dem unver
hofften Siege auch diesmal wieder der Mut geschwollen war,
Sikanos mit fünfzehn Schiffen nach Akragas, wo damals zwei
Parteien einander bekämpften, um die Stadt womöglich in ihre
Gewalt zu bringen. Gylippos aber bereiste zu Lande die anderen
sizilischen Städte zum zweitenmal, nur dort noch weitere Ver
stärkungen aufzubieten, da er, nachdem die Sache auf Epipolai
so gut abgelaufen, sich auch der Festungswerke der Athener
zu bemächtigen hoffte.

[1] After this, the Syracusians, having by such unlooked-for prosperity recovered their former courage, sent Sicanus with fifteen galleys to Agrigentum, being in sedition, to bring that city, if they could, to their obedience. And Gylippus went again to the Sicilian cities by land to raise yet another army, as being in hope to take the camp of the Athenians by assault, considering how the matter had gone in Epipolae.

[1] After this the Syracusans, recovering their old confidence at such an unexpected stroke of good fortune, despatched Sicanus with fifteen ships to Agrigentum where there was a revolution, to induce if possible the city to join them; while Gylippus again went by land into the rest of Sicily to bring up reinforcements, being now in hope of taking the Athenian lines by storm, after the result of the affair on Epipolae.

XLVI. Après ce succès inespéré, les Syracusains retrouvèrent leur première ardeur. Ils envoyèrent à Agrigente, alors en proie aux séditions, quinze vaisseaux sous les ordres de Sicanos, afin de soumettre cette ville, s’il était possible. Gylippe recommença à parcourir par terre le reste de la Sicile, afin d’en amener une nouvelle armée. Cette heureuse issue de l’affaire d’Épi- polæ lui donnait l’espoir d'enlever de vive force les retranchements mêmes des Athéniens.
