‘ [19] ego me metior non aetatis spatio, sed gloriae. Licuit paternis opibus contento intra Macedoniae terminos per otium corporis expectare obscuram et ignobilem senectutem. Quamquam ne pigri quidem sibi fata disponunt, sed unicum bonum diuturnam vitam existimantes saepe acerba mors occupat. Verum ego, qui non annos meos, sed victorias numero, si munera fortunae bene conputo, diu vixi. ’
Curtius Rufus, Quintus. Historiarum Alexandri Magni Macedonis libri qui supersunt. Edmund Hedicke. in aedibus B.G. Teubneri. Lipsiae. 1908. Keyboarding.
