    Original Text :ἀλλὰ γὰρ ἔτι φεύγοντος αὐτοῦ τὴν εἰρημένην φυγήν Ἀλέξανδρος μὲν ἐτελεύτησε, τὰ δ᾽ Ἑλληνικὰ συνίσταντο πάλιν, Λεωσθένους ἀνδραγαθοῦντος καί περιτειχίζοντος Ἀντίπατρον ἐν Λαμίᾳ πολιορκούμενον.
     
    Translation :But while he was still undergoing the exile of which I have spoken, Alexander died, and the Greek states proceeded to form a league again, while Leosthenes was displaying deeds of valour and walling Antipater up in Lamia, where he held him in siege.
