Now with a steadfast and wholehearted adherence to all these conditions, and with God's help, appoint three kings: first, my son, in double gratitude for my father's services and my own (as my father in his time saved the city from the barbarians, I have twice freed it from tyrants, as you yourselves can bear witness); secondly, him who has the same name as my father and is the son of Dionysius, in gratitude for the help he has just rendered your cause, as well as because of his upright character; for though he is the son of a tyrant, he is voluntarily liberating the city and gaining for himself and his house undying honor in place of an ephemeral and unjust tyranny.
