Ingrata oratio regi fuit; itaque, ut finem dicendi fecit: Et ego, inquit, pecuniam quam gloriam mallem, si Parmenio essem; nunc Alexander de paupertate securus sum et me non mercatorem memini esse, sed regem.
Parmenions speech was displeasing to the king; accordingly, when he finished speaking, Alexander replied: I too should prefer money to glory, if I were Parmenion; as it is, being Alexander, I am secure against poverty, and I remember that I am a king, not a trader.
