Dion returned to admonish Dionysius "by deed" (333b; i.e., at the head of an army), but the Syracuseans themselves believed slanders that Dion was attempting to set himself up as a tyrant and supported Dion's murder.
Dion powrócił, aby upomnieć Dionizjosa "czynem" (333b, to jest na czele armii), sami mieszkańcy Syrakuz wierzyli jednak oszczerstwom, jakoby Dion pragnął sam zostać tyranem i dopomogli w zamordowaniu Diona.
