1 Diodorus does scant justice to the dramatic story of Dareius's flight, overtaking, and death; cp. Curtius 5.8-13; Justin 11.15; Plut. Alexander 42.3-43.3; Arrian. 3.19.22. The standard version in all is that Dareius was still living when discovered, but died before Alexander saw him. Plutarch, on the other hand, has Alexander covering Dareius with his own cloak (Plut. De Fortuna aut Virtute Alexandri 1.11.332f).
