Alexandri regis virtus ac felicitas tribus insolentiae evidentissimis gradibus exsultavit: fastidio enim Philippi Iovem Hammonem patrem ascivit, taedio morum et cultus Macedonici vestem et instituta Persica adsumpsit, spreto mortali habitu divinum aemulatus est, nec fuit ei pudori filium civem hominem dissimulare.
The prowess and good fortune of king Alexander ran riot in three conspicuous stages of insolence. Despising Philip he adopted Jupiter Hammon as his father; wearying of Macedonian manners and attire he took up Persian dress and customs; scorning mortal state he imitated divine. He was not ashamed to falsify his identity as a son, a citizen, and a human being.
