Alexander Macedonum rex gloriari solebat a
nullo se beneficiis victum. Non est, quod nimius
animi Macedonas et Graecos et Caras et Persas et
nationes discriptas in exercitum suspiciat, nec hoc
sibi praestitisse regnum a1 Thraciae angulo porrectum usque ad litus incogniti maris iudicet. Eadem
re gloriari Socrates potuit, eadem Diogenes, a quo
utique victus est, Quidni victus sit illo die, quo homo
super mensuram iam humanae superbiae tumens
vidit aliquem, cui nec dare quicquam posset nec
eripere ?
