It is uncertain in what year it was fought and could have occurred in any year from 378 BCE to 375 BCE.[1] The exact location of Cabala is also unknown.[2]
Dionysius I commanded the Syracusian forces while Mago commanded the Carthaginians. Diodorus states that Mago was killed and the Carthaginians lost 10,000 dead and a further 5000 were taken prisoners.[3]
