Regnabat in ea Strato, Darei opibus adiutus; is quia deditionem magis popularium quam sua sponte fecerat, regno visus indignus, Hephaestionique permissum ut quem eo fastigio e Sidoniis dignissimum arbitraretur constitueret regem.
In it Straton was ruling, supported by the power of Darius; but because he had surrendered rather at the desire of the people than of his own accord, he was deemed unworthy to rule and Hephaestion was allowed to choose as king from among the Sidonians the one whom he thought most worthy of that high station.
