νῦν μέν, ὦ Ἀλέξανδρε, οὐκ ἂν ἔξαρνος
γένοιο μὴ οὐκ ἐμὸς υἱὸς εἶναι: οὐ γὰρ ἂν ἐτεθνήκεις
Ἄμμωνός γε ὤν.
Ἀλέξανδρος
οὐδ᾽ αὐτὸς ἠγνόουν, ὦ πάτερ, ὡς Φιλίππου
τοῦ Ἀμύντου υἱός εἰμι, ἀλλ᾽ ἐδεξάμην τὸ μάντευμα
ὡς χρήσιμον ἐς τὰ πράγματα οἰόμενος εἶναι.
φιλόσοφος
τί λέγεις; χρήσιμον ἐδόκει σοι το παρέχειν
σεαυτὸν ἐξαπατηθησόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν προφητῶν;
Ἀλέξανδρος
οὐ τοῦτο, ἀλλ᾽ οἱ βάρβαροι κατεπλάγησάν
[p. 163]
με καὶ οὐδεὶς ἔτι ἀνθίστατο οἰόμενοι θεῷ μάχεσθαι, ὥστε ῥᾷον ἐκράτουν αὐτῶν.
