Igitur Alexander ex custodia educitur iussusque dicere, quamquam toto triennio meditatus erat defensionem, tamen haesitans et trepidus pauca ex his quae composuerat protulit, ad ultimum non memoria solum,  sed etiam mens eum destituit.
Therefore Alexander (Lyncestes) was brought out of prison and when ordered to speak, although for three whole years he had practised a defence, yet hesitating and trembling he presented only a few words of what he had composed, and finally, not  only his memory, but his thoughts failed him.
