Abstract
ON B.C. 310 August 14 Agathocles left Syracuse by sea; at eight o'clock on the following morning he saw a total eclipse of the sun. His exact position is therefore of extreme interest to astronomers. Unfortunately, the course that Agathocles steered is not directly stated. The present paper is an attempt to piece together the various clues contained in the narratives.
