Quod sequitur et rei ipsius admiratione et claritate auctoris inlustre. Alexander Macedonum rex incluta iam pugna excellentissimis opibus Darei contusis aestu et itineris feruore in Cilicia percalefactus Cydno, qui aquae liquore conspicuus Tarson interfluit, corpus suum inmersit. subito deinde ex nimio haustu frigoris obstupefactis neruis ac torpore hebetatis artubus maxima cum exanimatione totius exercitus in oppidum castris propinquum defertur. iacebat aeger Tarsi, inque ualitudine eius aduersa instantis uictoriae spes fluctuabat. itaque conuocati medici adtentissimo consilio salutis remedia circumspiciebant. quorum cum ad unam potionem se sententiae direxissent, atque eam Philippus medicus suis manibus temperatam Alexandro—erat autem ipsius amicus et comes—porrexisset, a Parmenione missae litterae superueniunt admonentes ut rex insidias Philippi perinde ac pecunia corrupti a Dareo caueret. quas cum legisset, sine ulla cunctatione medicamentum hausit ac tum legendas Philippo tradidit. pro quo tam constanti erga amicum iudicio dignissimam a dis inmortalibus mercedem recepit, qui incolumitatis eius praesidium falso interpellari indicio noluerunt.
