Κλεῖτον δὲ οὐκ ἀνιέναι ὑβρίζοντα. Ἀλέξανδρος δὲ ἐβόα ἄρα καλῶν τοὺς ὑπασπιστάς· οὐδενὸς δὲ ὑπακούοντος ἐς ταὐτὰ ἔφη καθεστηκέναι Δαρείῳ, ὁπότε πρὸς Βήσσου τε καὶ τῶν ἀμφὶ Βῆσσον ξυλληφθεὶς ἤγετο οὐδὲν ἄλλο ὅτι μὴ ὄνομα ὢν βασιλέως. οὔκουν ἔτι οἵους τε εἶναι κατέχειν αὐτὸν τοὺς ἑταίρους, ἀλλʼ ἀναπηδήσαντα γὰρ οἱ μὲν λόγχην ἁρπάσαι λέγουσι τῶν σωματοφυλάκων τινὸς καὶ ταύτῃ παίσαντα Κλεῖτον ἀποκτεῖναι,
