Atque illi, cum multos imminere tantae spei cerncrent singulis amicorum Alexandri iam ob nimiam regni cupiditatem adulantes, statuunt neminem esse potiorem quam Abdalonymum quendam, longa quidem cognatione stirpi regiae annexum, sed ob inopiam suburbanum hortum exigua colentem stipe.
And they, although they were aware that many, eager for so great a prospect, were already courting various friends of Alexander from excessive longing for the throne, decided that no one was preferable to a certain Abdalonymus, a man who had, it is true, a distant connexion with the royal family, but who, because of narrow means, was cultivating a garden in the suburbs at scanty profit.
