Filios ex Asiaticis uxoribus susceptos'ad decem milia fuisse traduntur'apud se relinqui iussit, ne in Macedoniam cum parentibus transgressi et coniugibus liberisque prioribus permixti, familias contentionibus et discordiis implerent; sibi curae fore pollicitus, ut patrio more instituti militiae artes edocerentur.
He gave orders that the sons whom they had begotten from Asiatic wives'they are said to have numbered about 10,000'should be left with him, for fear that if they returned to Macedonia with their fathers and mingled with the former wives and children of these, they might fill the families with strife and discord; he promised that he would take care that the children should be trained in the customs of their country and taught the principles of military service.
