τοὺς δὲ οὐκ ἀναστῆσαι μὲν αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ θρόνου κατὰ δή τινα νόμον Περσικόν, περιρρηξαμένους δὲ τύπτεσθαι τά τε στήθη καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα ὡς ἐπὶ μεγάλῳ κακῷ. ταῦτα ὡς ἐξηγγέλθη Ἀλεξάνδρῳ, κελεῦσαι στρεβλωθῆναι τὸν καθίσαντα, μήποτε ἐξ ἐπιβουλῆς ξυντεταγμένον τοῦτο ἔδρασε γνῶναι ἐθέλοντα. τὸν δὲ οὐδὲν ἄλλο κατειπεῖν ὅτι μὴ ἐπὶ νοῦν οἱ ἐλθὸν οὕτω πρᾶξαι· ᾗ δὴ καὶ μᾶλλον ἐπʼ οὐδενὶ ἀγαθῷ ξυμβῆναι αὐτῷ οἱ μάντεις ἐξηγοῦντο.
