Quae tam pertinax necessitas in patre <in> filio Alexandro consimilis apparuit, si quidem Callanus Indus sua sponte se ardenti rogo superiecturus, interpellatus ab eo ecquid aut mandaret aut dicere vellet, brevi te inquit videbo: nec id sine causa, quia voluntarium eius e vita excessum rapida mors Alexandri subsecuta est.
Such obstinate fatality in the fathers case made a similar showing in the sons, Alexanders. For when Callanus the Indian was about to throw himself voluntarily on a burning pyre, Alexander asked him whether he had any commission, anything he wanted to say. I shall see you anon, was the answer. And sure enough Alexanders swift death followed hard upon Callanus voluntary departure from life.
