Εὐβοέας: cf. Strabo 449 ἦν δὲ καὶ ἐν Σικελίᾳ Εὔβοια Χαλχιδέων τῶν ἐκεῖ (i. e. in Leontini) κτίσμα, ἣν Γέλων ἐξανέστησε καὶ ἐγένετο φρούριον Συρακουσίων. The site is unknown.

διακρίνας: distinguishing as at Megara between the nobles and the commons.

συνοίκημα: unpleasant to live with; so Aesch. Supplices 267 (of dragons) δυσμενῆ ξυνοικίαν. These wholesale deportations are characteristic of Sicilian history; cf. Hiero's transference of the men of Naxos and Catana to Leontini, his foundation of Aetna, and the later case of Leontini (Thuc. v. 4).
