motus, quod milites cselesti igne, cum fanum <strong>in</strong> suburbio spoliarent, ambusti<br />
dicebantur. Alexander Athenienses ulturus tanquam auctores<br />
defectionis Thebanae, et post cladem receptores elapsorum, Demosthenem<br />
sibi, et Charidemum, et Ephialtem aliosque tradi postulat. Legatione<br />
autem effectum est, ut rex solius Charidemi exilio placaretur.]<br />

Classem, quam juxta lacum Cerc<strong>in</strong>item et Strymonis ostia Mbebat, eodem<br />

fluviis trajeetis, vicesimo die, postquam domo discesserat, Sestum venit.<br />
Sesto Elseuntem profectus rex Protesilao, qui Trojano bello primus <strong>in</strong><br />
Asiam dicitur pedem <strong>in</strong>tulisse, <strong>in</strong>ferias dabat. Interea Parmenio exercitum<br />
