ἀποστέλλοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ τῶν Μακεδόνων τοὺς νοσώδεις καὶ ἀναπήρους ἐπὶ θάλατταν, ἐνεδείχθη τις εἰς τοὺς νοσοῦντας ἀπογεγραμμένος ἑαυτὸν οὐ νοσῶν. ἐπεὶ οὖν εἰς ὄψιν ἀχθεὶς καὶ ἀνακρινόμενος ὡμολόγησε προφασίζεσθαι δι᾽ ἔρωτα Τελεσίππας ἀπιούσης ἐπὶ θάλατταν, ἠρώτησεν ὁ Ἀλέξανδρος, ‘πρὸς τίνα δεῖ περὶ τῆς Τελεσίππας διαλέγεσθαι:’ πυθόμενος δὲ ἐλευθέραν οὖσαν, ‘οὐκοῦν,’ ἔφη, ‘ὦ Ἀντιγένη, πείθωμεν τὴν Τελεσίππαν, ἵνα μείνῃ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν βιάζεσθαι γὰρ ἐλευθέραν οὖσαν οὐχ ἡμέτερον.’
