ἀλλὰ τοῖς μὲν ἐν Θήβαις Σπαρτοῖς ποτε λεγομένοις σημεῖον λέγεται εἶναι τοῦ γένους λόγχη τις οἶμαι ἐπὶ τοῦσώματος· ὅστις δὲ τοῦτο τὸ σημεῖον μὴ ἔχοι, οὐ δοκεῖν τῶν Σπαρτῶν εἶναι· τοῖς δὲ τοῦ Διὸς ἐκγόνοις οὐκ οἴει σημεῖον ἐνεῖναι τῇ ψυχῇ, ἐξ οὗ φανεροὶ ἔσονται τοῖς δυναμένοις γνωρίζειν εἴτε ἐξ ἐκείνου γεγονότες εἰσὶν εἴτε μή; πάνυ οὖν ἥσθη τούτῳ τῷ λόγῳ ὁ Ἀλέξανδρος.
