Ipse, animo infinita complexus, statuerat, omni ad orientem maritima regione perdomita, ex Syria petere Africam, Carthagini infensus, inde, Numidiae solitudinibus peragratis, cursum Gadis dirigere'ibi namque  columnas Herculis esse fama vulgaverat'Hispanias deinde, quas Hiberiam Graeci a flumine Hibero vocabant, adire et praetervehi Alpes Italiaeque oram,  unde in Epirum brevis cursus est.
Alexander himself, having embraced infinite plans in his mind, had determined, after thoroughly subduing the entire seacoast of the Orient, to cross from Syria to Africa, being incensed against the Carthaginians, then passing through the deserts of Numidia, to direct his course to Gades'for the report had spread abroad that the pillars of Hercules were there'then to visit Spain, which the Greeks called Hiberia from the river Hiberus, to approach and skirt the Alps and the seacoast of Italy, from which it is  only a short voyage to Epirus.
