For the Locri- ans when they had driuen their father Dioni- sius out of the kingdome, veuenging his cruel- tie for the deflowring of their citizens daugh- ters, and wiues, permitted his daughters be- ing yet yong tender virgings to be rauished of as many as woulde: and at the last, hauing no regard of their innocencie, but with a barbarous and sauage crueltie, pursued them to death, by driuing sharpe needles, or pinnes vnder the nayles of their fingers, with so great paine, and torment, as neuer before, nor since was heard of the like.
