[3] ἀλλὰ Ἀλεξάνδρῳ αἱρετέον ἐδόκει εἶναι ὅσῳ ἀπορώτερον: ἐκπλήξειν γὰρ τοὺς πολεμίους τὸ ἔργον τῷ παραλόγῳ ἐπὶ μέγα, καὶ τὸ μὴ ἑλεῖν αἰσχρὸν εἶναί οἱ λεγόμενον ἔς τε τοὺς Ἕλληνας καὶ ἐς Δαρεῖον. ἐδόκει δὴ χῶμα ἐν [p. 97] κύκλῳ τῆς πόλεως χωννύναι, ὡς ἐξ ἴσου ἀπὸ τοῦ χωσθέντος ἐπάγεσθαι τὰ μηχανὰς τοῖς τείχεσι. καὶ ἐχώννυτο κατὰ κατὰ τὸ νότιον μάλιστα τῆς πόλεως τεῖχος, ἵνα ἐπιμαχώτερα ἐφαίνετο.
