Ad ultimum victa, litteris Alexandrum ita deprecata est, ut id ipsum excusaret, quod deprecaretur; petere se, ut illis quoque, si minus, sibi ignosceret: pro necessario ac propinquo suo, iam non hoste sed supplice, tantum vitam precari.
Overcome at last, in a letter she begged Alexander to excuse her for presuming to beg a favour; she asked that he would pardon them also, if not, that he would pardon her; that she was pleading only for the life of a friend and relative of hers, who was no longer his enemy, but a suppliant.
