ἐτιμᾶτο. οἱ δὲ στρατιῶται ἐπεζήτουν τε αὐτόν, καὶ ἠγανάκτουν ὅτι δὴ τῆς ἀρχῆς παραλυθείη. διεσκέδασε δὲ ὁ Ἀντωνῖνος καὶ φήμην ὡς τοῦ Ἀλεξάνδρου τεθνήξεσθαι μέλλοντος, ἐποιεῖτό τε ἀπόπειραν ὅπως οἴσουσιν οἱ στρατιῶται τὸ θρυλούμενον. οἳ δ̓ ἐπεὶ μήτε τὸν παῖδα ἔβλεπον ὑπό τε τῆς φήμης τὰς ψυχὰς ἐτρώθησαν, ἀγανακτήσαντες οὔτε τὴν συνήθη φρουρὰν ἔπεμψαν τῷ Ἀντωνίνῳ, κατακλείσαντές τε αὑτοὺς ἐν τῷ στρατοπέδῳ τὸν Ἀλέξανδρον ἐν ἱερῷ
