Alexander, in the rapidity of his conquests, even in the impetuosity of his passion, had, if I may so express myself, a flash of reason by which he was directed, and which those who would fain have made a romance of his history, and whose minds were more corrupt than his, could not conceal from our view.
Alexandro, bere ekintzen bizkortasunean, beren grinen suan bertan, arrazoi-izpi batek gidatzen zuen, horrela esaterik badaukat; eta haren historiaz nobela bat egin nahi izan dutenek, hark baino zentzu on gutxiago izanik, ezin izan digute hori ezkutatu.
