ὅμως δὲ καὶ πιεῖν ᾔτησε, καὶ πιὼν
ὕδωρ ψυχρόν εἶπε πρὸς τὸν δόντα Πολύστρατον: ‘ὦ
ἄνθρωπε, τοῦτό μοι πέρας γέγονε δυστυχίας ἁπάσης, εὖ παθεῖν
ἀμείψασθαι μὴ δυνάμενον: ἀλλ᾽ Ἀλέξανδρος ἀποδώσει σοι τὴν χάριν,
Ἀλεξάνδρῳ δὲ οἱ θεοὶ [p. 352] τῆς εἰς μητέρα καὶ γυναῖκα καὶ
παῖδας τοὺς ἐμοὺς ἐπιεικείας, ᾧ ταύτην δίδωμι τὴν δεξιὰν διὰ
σοῦ.’ ταῦτα εἰπὼν καὶ λαβόμενος τῆς τοῦ Πολυστράτου χειρός
ἐξέλιπεν.
