quamquam ab auctoribus tradita est, vanam fuisse comperimus. Et quidem suas quisque opes, divisis imperii partibus, tuebantur: quas ipsi fundaverant, si unquam adversus immodicas cupiditates terminus staret. Quippe paulo ante regis ministri, specie imperii alieni procurandi, singuli ingentia invaserant regna, sublatis certaminum causis, cum et omnes ejusdem gentis essent, et a ceteris sui quisque imperii regione discreti. Sed difficile erat eo contentos esse, quod obtulerat occasio: quippe sordent prima quaeque, cum majora sperantur. Itaque omnibus expeditius videbatur augere regna, quam fuisset accipere.

31. Septimus dies erat, ex quo corpus regis jacebat in solio, curis omnium ad formandum publicum statum a tam sollemni munere aversis. Et non aliis quam Mesopotamiae regione fervidior aestus existit, adeo ut pleraque animalia, quae in nudo solo deprehendit, extinguat; tantus est vapor solis et coeli, quo cuncta velut igne torrentur. Fontes aquarum et rari sunt, et incolentium fraude celantur; ipsis usus patet, ignotus est advenis. Ut tandem curare corpus exanimum amicis vacavit, nulla tabe, ne minimo quidem livore corruptum videre qui intraverant. Vigor quoque, qui constat ex spiritu, non destituerat vultum. Itaque Aegyptii Chaldaeique, jussi corpus suo more curare, primo non sunt ausi admovere velut spiranti manus: deinde precati, ut jus fasque esset mortalibus attrectare eum, purgavere corpus, repletumque est odoribus aureum solium, et capiti adjecta fortunae ejus insignia. Veneno necatum esse credidere plerique; filium Antipatri inter ministros, Jollam nomine, patris jussu dedisse. Saepe certe audita erat vox Alexandri, Antipatrum regium affectare fastigium, majoremque esse praefecti opibus, ac titulo Spartanae victoriae inflatum, omnia a se data asserentem sibi.4 Credebant etiam, Craterum cum veterum militum manu ad interficiendum eum missum. Vim autem veneni, quod in Macedonia gignitur, talem esse constat, ut

1 Every one now maintained his own power; they had established it through themselves, not by Alexander's will, if ever there should be fixed a limit against immoderate desires. They had established it; that is, this much had been done, and it would have continued, if. Respecting this indicative, see Zumpt, § 519, 6.

2 The heat does not become more burning in other countries than in Mesopotamia;' that is, the heat is particularly burning in Mesopotamia, or rises to quite an unusual height.

ferrum quoque exurat, ungulam jumenti dumtaxat patientem esse suci. Stygem appellant fontem, ex quo pestiferum virus emanat. Hoc per Cassandrum allatum, traditumque fratri Jollae, et ab eo supremae regis potioni inditum. Haec, utcunque sunt credita, eorum, quos rumor asperserat, mox potentia extinxit. Regnum enim Macedoniae Antipater et Graeciam quoque invasit: soboles deinde excepit,1 interfectis omnibus, quicunque Alexandrum etiam_longinqua cognatione contigerant. Ceterum corpus ejus a Ptolemaeo, cui Aegyptus cesserat, Memphim, et inde paucis post annis Alexandriam translatum est, omnisque memoriae ac nomini honos habetur.
