n. pl Sicel, or Sic·els

Ducetio, Sicel and helenised warlord, is the visible head of a movement that canalised the social and political expectations of Sicels, who have been excluded from government and controlled by Greek interests.

An unknown "Sextius", quoted by Solinus 2.8, also spoke of Argiva iuventus (but perhaps depending on Vergil), identified Tiburtus, Coras, and Catillus as sons of another Catillus son of the Theban Amphiaraus: the three frathers, he says, founded the city after a war against the Sicels, and the city took its name from the older of the three (qui depulsis ex oppido Siciliae veteribus Sicanis a nomine Tiburti fratris natu maximi urbem vocaverunt).
