Sive nominis, quod gentes quae sub regibus vivunt reges inter deos colunt, sive propria ipsius veneratio sive fiducia tanta vi exercentis imperium conterruit  eos; singulare certe ediderunt patientiae exemplum adeoque non sunt accensi supplicio commilitonum, cum sub noctem interfectos esse cognossent, ut nihil omiserint quod singuli magis oboedienter et pie  facerent.
Whether veneration for the mere name, since nations which live under kings honour their kings among the gods, or a particular veneration for Alexander himself, or the confidence with which he exercised his authority with such force, struck them all with  terror; at any rate, they showed a remarkable instance of patience, and were so far from being exasperated by the execution of their fellow-soldiers when towards nightfall they learned that they had been put to death, that there was nothing that they left undone to make each man act with more obedience  and loyalty.
