[7] Although Alexander lived many generations before our time, let him continue to receive in future ages also the just and proper praise for his good qualities.1

1 If we follow the manuscript reading here (ἱστορίαις for ἀρεταῖς) we should translate, "he should receive from future writers also just praise proper to their narrative." Arrian. 2.12.8 is not sure that this incident occurred, but approves it if so. It is praised by Curtius 3.12.18-23 and Plut. Alexander 21.4-5.
