[It is said]1 that Alexander [King] of the Macedonians having embarked on war against Dareios King of the Persians overcame him by force of arms.2 And [Dareios] proposed that he come to a reconciliation and give his daughter Rhoxane to him in marriage.3
[It is said] that Dareios himself was killed by his own satrap, Bessos by name, and that he brought his head to Alexander of Macedon.4
See on this in the [entry] 'Alexander', and see in the [entry] 'Demokedes'. [Also] see above in the [entry] 'Darics'.5
