    Original Text :οὕτως ἐπεὶ μηδὲν ἔτι ταραχῶδες ἐγίνετο, τι ξιφίδιον λαβὼν ἑαυτὸν διεχρήσατο. καὶ αὐτοῦ τὸ σῶμα οἱ στρατιῶται ἀνείλοντο πενθοῦντες καὶ ἔθαψαν, καί τινες ἑαυτοὺς ἐπέσφαξαν αὐτῷ.
     
    Translation :So then, when quiet had been completely restored, he seized a dagger and killed himself. The grief-stricken soldiers took up his body and buried it, and some slew themselves upon his grave.
