Clausae erant portae, sed nulli in muris turribusque se armati ostendebant, dubitabantque Macedones deseruissent urbem incolae an  fraude se occulerent; cum subito, patefacta porta, rex Indus cum duobus adultis filiis occurrit, multum  inter omnes barbaros eminens corporis specie.
The gates were shut, but no armed men showed themselves on the walls and in the towers, and the Macedonians were in doubt whether the inhabitants had deserted the city or had hidden themselves treacherously;  when suddenly a gate was opened and the Indian king with two grown-up sons presented himself, a man far surpassing all other barbarians in physical  attractiveness.
