Senses: examples: text: Shum Chun’s population swelled throughout the 50s as it became the centre for the Bao’an County government, owing to its proximity to the KCR and an economy that was larger than its rival, Nantou.

text: Pindar probably left Greece for Sicily in the autumn of 476 BC, writing to celebrate the victories of the rulers of Akragas, where he lived for a time, and undoubtedly serving as an official poet to the ruling families.
ref: 2002, Michael Bennett, Aaron J. Paul, Mario Iozzo, Magna Graecia: Greek Art from South Italy and Sicily, Cleveland Museum of Art, page 37:
text: The city of Himera in the north of Sicily had traditionally been on good terms with Carthage; Theron of Akragas took over Himera in 483, and the exiled leader called in the Carthaginians. It was Syracuse rather than Himera which three years later won the battle of Himera. Himera was never rich again, and before the end of the century, Carthage had wiped out Himera, Selinus to the west of Akragas, and finally Akragas itself in 406. There were several restorations of Akragas, including a short Indian summer in the late 4th century BCE, but in the 3rd it became a Carthaginian fortress.
