Quartum iam diem eodem loco quietem militi dederat, cum litteras Nabarzanis, qui Dareum cum Besso interceperat, accepit, quarum sententia haec erat: se Dareo non fuisse inimicum, immo etiam quae credidisset utilia esse suasisse et, quia fidele  consilium regi dedisset, prope occisum ab eo.
Alexander had already given the soldiers a rest for the fourth day in the same place, when from Nabarzanes, who with Bessus had taken Darius prisoner, he received a letter, of which this was the purport: That he had not been an enemy of Darius, quite on the contrary, he had given him what he believed to be salutary advice, and because he had given the king faithful counsel, he had barely escaped  with his life.
