The prisoners were shut up in the prisons of Syra- cuse ; where, crouded one upon the other, they suffered in- credible torment for eight months. Here they were forever exposed to the inclemencies of the weather; scorched in the day-time by the burning rays of the sun, or frozen in the night by thQ cold of autumn ; poisoned by the stench of 1heir own excrement, by the carcasses of -those who died *©f their wounds and of sickness, and worn out by hunger and thirst; for the daily allowance to eac...h was but a smaH •measure of water and two of meal. Those who were ta- ken out of this place two months after in order to be sold as slaves, many of whom were citizens who had concealed then* condition, found a less rigorous fate. Their wisdom, their patience, and a certain air of probity and modesty were of great advantage to them, for they were soon re- stored to their liberty, or met with the kindest and most generous treatment from their masters. Several of them even owed the good usage they met with to Eurypides, the finest scenes of whosd tragedies they repeated to the Sici- lians, who were extremely fond of them; so that when they returned' to their own country, they, weni and sa- luted that poet as their deliverer; and informed him of the admirable effects wrought in their favour by his "Verses.
