Ἀλέξανδρος
ἐμὲ δεῖ προκεκρίσθαι σου, ὦ Λίβυ: ἀμείνων γάρ εἰμι.
Ἀννίβας
οὐ μὲν οὖν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐμέ.
Ἀλέξανδρος
οὐκοῦν ὁ Μίνως δικασάτω.
Μίνως
τίνες δὲ ἐστέ;
Ἀλέξανδρος
οὗτος μὲν Ἀννίβας ὁ Καρχηδόνιος, ἐγὼ δὲ
Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Φιλίππου.
Μίνως
νὴ Δία ἔνδοξοί γε ἀμφότεροι. ἀλλὰ περὶ τίνος ὑμῖν ἡ ἔρις;
Ἀλέξανδρος
περὶ προεδρίας: φησὶ γὰρ οὗτος ἀμείνων
γεγενῆσθαι στρατηγὸς ἐμοῦ, ἐγὼ δέ, ὥσπερ ἅπαντες ἴσασιν,
οὐχὶ τούτου μόνον, ἀλλὰ πάντων σχεδὸν τῶν πρὸ
ἐμοῦ φημὶ διενεγκεῖν τὰ πολέμια.
[p. 157]
Μίνως
οὐκοῦν ἐν μέρει ἑκάτερος εἰπάτω, σὺ δὲ πρῶτος
ὁ Λίβυς λέγε.
Ἀννίβας
