At this same time, Alexander stumbled into a base action which was quite foreign to his goodness of nature.1 One of the king's Friends named Dimnus2 found fault with him for some reason, and in a rash fit of anger formed a plot against him.

1 For the story of the conspiracy and its consequences cp. Curtius 6.7-7.2.34; Justin 12.5.1-3; Plut. Alexander 48-49.7; Arrian 3.26.

2 The name is given by Curtius as Dymnus, by Plutarch as Limnus.
