Spitamenes erat inter omnes amicos praecipuo  honore cultus a Besso; sed nullis meritis perfidia mitigari potest, quae tamen iam minus in eo invisa esse poterat, quia nihil ulli nefastum in Bessum, interfectorem regis sui, videbatur.
Spitamenes was most  highly honoured by Bessus among all his friends, but treachery cannot be tamed by any services, a thing which nevertheless might have been less odious in his case, since it seemed that no wrong could be done by anyone to Bessus, the murderer of his king.
