    Original Text :οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ χρόνου βραχέος διελθόντος ἀποθνῄσκει μὲν ὑπὸ δούλων Ἀριστόμαχος, ὑπολαμβάνει δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν φθάσας Ἀρίστιππος, ἐξωλέστερος ἐκείνου τύραννος.
     
    Translation :Nevertheless, after a little while Aristomachus was killed by slaves, and Aristippus, a more pernicious tyrant than he, soon succeeded in seizing the power.

    Remark :level: As it is not explicitly stated by Plutarch why the slaves kill Aristomachus, we cannot decide on a level.
    long-term consequence: Aristippus became tyrant.
