Oxydates erat nobilis Perses, qui a Dareo capitali supplicio destinatus, cohibebatur in vinculis; huic liberato satrapeam Mediae attribuit fratremque Darei recepit in cohortem amicorum, omni vetustae claritatis honore servato.
Oxydates was a Persian noble, who was being kept in bonds, because he had been destined by Darius for capital punishment. Alexander freed him and conferred upon him the satrapy of Media, and the brother of Darius he received into the band of his friends, with the maintenance of all the honour due to his ancient lineage.
