The Thebans1 sought first of all to expel the Macedonian garrison from the Cadmeia and laid siege to this citadel; this was the situation when the king appeared suddenly before the city and encamped with his whole army near by.

1 The siege of Thebes is described more briefly in Justin 11.3.6-7; Plut. Alexander 11-12; Arrian 1.7-8.
