Καλλισθένης δὲ ὁ σοφιστής, ὡς Λυγκεὺς ὁ Σάμιός φησιν ἐν τοῖς ἀπομνημονεύμασι καὶ Ἀριστόβουλος καὶ Χάρης ἐν ταῖς ἱστορίαις, ἐν τῷ συμποσίῳ τοῦ Ἀλεξάνδρου τῆς τοῦ ἀκράτου κύλικος εἰς αὐτὸν ἐλθούσης ὡς διωθεῖτο, εἰπόντος τέ τινος αὐτῷ ' διὰ τί οὐ πίνεις; ' ' οὐδὲν δέομαι ἔφη, ' Ἀλεξάνδρου πιὼν τοῦ Ἀσκληπιοῦ δεῖσθαι.'45. Δαρεῖος δὲ ὁ τοὺς μάγους ἀνελὼν ἐπιγεγραμμένον εἶχεν ἐπὶ τοῦ μνήματος: ῾ ἠδυνάμην καὶ οἶνον πίνειν πολὺν καὶ τοῦτον φέρειν καλῶς.' Κτησίας δὲ παρ᾽ Ἰνδοῖς φησιν οὐκ εἶναι τῷ βασιλεῖ ”
