The embassadors sent to Hannibal were Polyclitus of Cyrene and Philodemus of Argos; xxv, 25; 28. Hannibal sent them back with a Carthaginian trierarch, named Hannibal, and with two Syracusans, Hippocrates and his younger brother Epicydes, (Paus. El. ii, 12. Ď.) who had been long serving under him, and (in consequence of their grandfather's being banished from Syracuse, PZ.) were naturalized at Carthage. Hippocrates and Epicydes, (with the sanction of Hannibal by whom they were sent) took up their residence at the Sicilian court: but, to expedite the treaty, Hieronymus requested Hannibal, the other envoy, to proceed at once to Carthage, promising that his own embassadors should follow without delay.
