Et Alexander Oxathren, fratrem Darei, quem inter corporis custodes habebat, propius iussit accedere tradique Bessum ei, ut cruci affixum, mutilatis auribus naribusque, sagittis configerent barbari asservarentque corpus, ut ne aves quidem contingerent.
But Alexander ordered Oxathres, the brother of Darius, whom he had among his body-guard, to come nearer, and that Bessus be delivered to him, in order that, bound to a cross after his ears and his nose had been cut off, the barbarians might pierce him with arrows and so guard his body that not even the birds  could touch it.
