- itaque Alexander Magnus—etenim insignibus iudiciis optume citraque invidiam tam superba censura peragetur—inter spolia Darii Persarum regis unguentorum scrinio capto quod erat de2 auro margaritis gemmisque pretiosum, varios eius usus amicis demonstrantibus, quando tacdebat unguenti bellatorem et militia sordidum, ' Immo Hercule,' inquit, ' librorum Homeri custodiae detur,' ut pretiosissimum humani animi opus quam maxime diviti opere servaretur.
- 2 V.ll. erat, erato : erat elato ? Detlefsen.
- Consequently Alexander the Great—for so lordly an assessment will be effected best and least invidiously by the most supreme tribunals—when among the booty won from the Persian King Darius there was a case of unguents made of gold and enriched with pearls and precious stones, and when his friends pointed out the various uses to which it could be put, since a warrior soiled with warfare had no use for perfume, said, "No, by Hercules, rather let it be assigned to keeping the works of Homer"—so that the most precious achievement of the mind of man might be preserved in the richest possible product of the craftsman's art.
