Apud Macedonas quoque cum forte panem quidam militum frangerent, manantis sanguinis guttas notaverunt, territoque rege, Aristander, peritissimus vatum, si extrinsecus cruor fluxisset, Macedonibus id triste futurum ait; contra, cum ex interiore parte manaverit, urbi quam obsidere destinassent  exitium portendere.
Among the Macedonians also, when some of the soldiers happened to break bread, they noticed drops of blood trickling out, and when the king was alarmed, Aristander, the most skilled of the seers, declared that if the blood had flowed from without, it would be an unfavourable omen for the Macedonians; but on the contrary, since it flowed from an inner part, it foretold destruction for the city which they had determined to besiege.
