Astaspes erat satrapes gentis, suspectus res novare voluisse, dum in India rex est; quem occurrentem, dissimulata ira, comiter allocutus, dum exploraret quae delata erant, in eodem honore habuit.
The satrap of that nation was Astaspes, who was suspected of having wished to revolt while the king was in India. When Astaspes came to meet him, Alexander dissembled his anger, and, addressing him graciously, kept him in his same rank until he could inquire into what had been reported.
