Erat Craterus regi carus in paucis, et eo Philotae ob aemulationem dignitatis adversus,  neque ignorabat saepe Alexandri auribus nimia iactatione virtutis atque operae gravem fuisse et ob ea non quidem sceleris, sed contumaciae tamen esse  suspectum.
Craterus was dearer to Alexander than most of his friends, and for that reason less friendly to Philotas, as his rival in importance,  he was well aware too that Philotas had often wearied the ears of Alexander by excessive vaunting of his valour and his services, and hence was suspected,  not indeed of crime, but of arrogance.
