THE HISTORY OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT. built of one stone' from the foundations to the roof and their queen was a woman who was more Queen Can- bcautiful in appearance and who was more under- standinof than all the other women in the world, and she had three sons; now the name of the queen was Kendaka (Candace). And when we had drawn nigh to her country I wrote a letter unto her, saying: Alexander's "In the Name of God, the Merciful and Gracious! "From the servant of God, the Two-horned king, "to Candace the queen of Shamer [, Greeting]. In "former times when I was in the land of Egypt, "I saw there [your] lofty buildings and man}' "graves of [your] mighty men, and bones which "had grown old and had become as dust. Then "I enquired concerning these things, and they told "me^ that thou hadst invaded Egypt .^ and that "thou hadst dwelt therein for many days, and that "thou hadst slain the hosts that were therein, and "hadst carried into captivity their women and "young men. [And they told me] that when thou "returnedst [to thy country] thou didst carry away ' /. ,?., they were monolithic. On the ten monolithic temples built by Lalibala in Ethiopia, see Perruchon, J'ic de Lalibala, p. 122. "" In the Syriac version (p. 118) Alexander says that the priests told him that the god Ammon was the helper of the Ethiopians; with this statement compare Brugsch, Egypt under the Pharaohs, vol. 11. p. 234, ff. 3 A reference probably to the capture of Memphis by the Ethiopians, for ThC • here probably means ^.-^^ Cairo.
EPISTLE OF CAN DACE TO ALEXANDER. I 89 "with thee the gods, which the people used to "worship in Egypt, of gold, and of [p. 107] silver, "and of precious stones, together with quantities "of rich spoil besides. And, behold, I desire to carry "back from thee all these things, therefore bring "out to me whatsoever thou canst find, in order "that thou mayest save thyself from my vengeance "and that thou mayest obtain my favour. If thou "doest not this speedily I will come against thee "forthwith".' Now when the message of the Two-horned king had reached Candace she made answer to his letter in these words: "From Candace, the queen of Shamer,^ and from candace's "her generals, to him of the two horns, the king""^"""' "of the Greeks. In former times when we were "in the land of Egypt our god Amen^ was with "us, and he helped us against our enemies, and « "we never at any time suffered defeat.'' Now do "not imagine that the army which thou hast gathered "together will terrify us, for the valiant fighting ' The Ethiopian translator has missed the point of the Greek; Alexander calls upon Candace to bring to the border of her country the image of the god Ammon that he may- worship him with her.
