Notes:
The quotation (not identified by Adler) is Diodorus Siculus 13.63.3 on Hermocrates of Syracuse in Sicily in 409 BCE; but 'surviving Athenians' should be 'surviving Selinuntians', and the participle is not the Suda's peri- but dia-.
The verb is actually imperfect, perhaps implying 'began to...'.
