The following are all I could find about that particular year. None of them
are ringing any bells for me. Anyone else?

382-376 BC ---- Third Dionysius War

After a 10-year lapse in major controntations, Dionysius the Elder
(c.430-367 BC), tyrant of Syracuse, led a large Syracusan force against the
Carthaginians in western Sicily. At first he was victorious, but then he
suffered a serious defeat at Cronium near Palermo. Control of western
Sicilian lands was ceded to Carthage, with the Syracusan boundary being
established at the Halycus (Platani) River.
