ὁ δὲ Ἀλέξανδρος ἀδεῶς καὶ μετὰ τοσαύτης ἐξουσίας ἔπραττε τὸ πρᾶγμα, ὥστε οὐκ ἦν ἱκανὸν αὐτῷ τῆν γυναῖκα ἀπαγαγεῖν, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ χρήματα προσεπέθετο — καὶ μηδὲ ἐπαναχθῆναι μηδένα αὐτῷ, μήτε τῶν τοῦ Μενελάου μήτε τῶν τοῦ Τυνδάρεω μήτε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς τῆς Ἑλένης, καὶ ταῦτα νεῶν οὐσῶν ἐν τῇ Λακωνικῇ, ἔτι δὲ πρότερον πεζῇ ἀπὸ Σπάρτης ἐπὶ θάλατταν κατιόντων, παραχρῆμα, ὡς εἰκός, περιβοήτου γενομένης τῆς ἁρπαγῆς; καὶ οὕτω μὲν οἰ δυνατὸν ἐλθεῖν Ἑλένην μετὰ Ἀλεξάνδρου· γάμῳ δὲ παρʼ ἑκόντων δοθεῖσαν τῶν οἰκείων.
