    Original Text :ὁσάκις γοῦν ἀπαγγελθείη Φίλιππος ἢ πόλιν ἔνδοξον ᾑρηκὼς ἢ μάχην τινὰ περιβόητον νενικηκώς, οὐ πάνυ φαιδρὸς ἦν ἀκούων, ἀλλὰ πρὸς τοὺς ἡλικιώτας ἔλεγεν: ‘ὦ παῖδες, πάντα προλήψεται ὁ πατήρ ἐμοὶ δὲ οὐδὲν ἀπολείψει μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν ἔργον ἀποδείξασθαι μέγα καὶ λαμπρόν.’
     
    Translation :At all events, as often as tidings were brought that Philip had either taken a famous city or been victorious in some celebrated battle, Alexander was not very glad to hear them, but would say to his comrades: ‘Boys, my father will anticipate everything; and for me he will leave no great or brilliant achievement to be displayed to the world with your aid.’
