2l6 THE HISTORY OF ALEXANDER TPIE GREAT. "seek mercy from Him, for His grace is upon "thee; moreover, [thy] days in this world are "fleeting and thou must leave it unto others. O He exhorts "hastc thce to do that which is pleasing [unto tl'''p?else "Him] before [thou] diest, and set this in thy hand °°* "day and night, and be thou not slow [to perform "it]; for He will never leave thee, and He will "be with thee at all times." These were the words of Aristotle's letter.^ In the seventh year of the reign of the Two- horned, Alexander put" on his royal crown and apparel, and called unto the chiefs of his army Alexander's aud the Icings whom he loved from among the his army. " peoplc of his country, and he spake unto them, saying, "Hearken unto me, and take heed unto ' In the Greek and Syriac versions here follows a letter by Alexander to his mother which forms chapp. 27—29 of the third book of Pseudo-Callisthenes (Miiller, p. 139, Meusel, p. 784). What follows in the Ethiopic is a version of what I have called "A Christian Legend concerning Alexander." In the Syriac version the legend is entitled "An exploit of • "Alexander, the son of Philip the Macedonian, [shewing] how "he went forth to the ends of the world, and made a gate "of iron, and shut it in the face of the north wind, that the "Huns might not come forth to spoil the countries," and it is said to have been compiled "from the manuscript in the house of the archives of the kings of Alexandria'' (see Budge, p. 144 ff.). A poetical version of the legend in Syriac, at- tributed to Jacob of Serug (born A. D. 451, died A. D. 521), was given by me in Bezold's Zeitschrift fur Assy- riologie, Bd. VI. p. 357 — 404. ^ Read ^A-fl*^ •
ALEXANDER'S FURTHER TRAVELS. 2iy "my voice, O ye princes of my hosts, and ye "chiefs of my armies, and listen, if ye will, O my "men, unto the things which it is right for me to "speak unto you." And they said unto him, "Let "the king speak as he pleaseth, for we will walk "in subjection unto him, and we will make our- "selves like unto him, if God Almighty, the Most "High, pleaseth." Then Alexander said unto them, "Inasmuch as I have waxed strong through much "power, and my God hath wrought for me, and "hath revealed mysteries unto me, and hath been "pleased to place revelations in my hands, behold, He wishes "I desire to know what is the length of the earth, Jhe e^£^th°" "and how many kings there have been in it, and "how many kings rule in each of the coun- "tries thereof And I would know what it is "which supporteth the heavens, whether they have "pillars which bear them up, or whether they "stand by the decree of our God upon pillars of "fire which come forth from the bowels of the "earth. And I want to go and see and find out "what it is that [p. 124] surroundeth the earth; "therefore make ye ready to go with me, for I "will not forsake this plan if God, the Most High, The sowiers "pleaseth." And they said unto him, "O goodrow^hi"."" "king, other men among the kings who have "reigned before thee have, like thyself meditated "upon these matters, and have desired to know "that which thou wishest to know, but they have "not been able to know what thou wishest to "know about the heavens and about the ends of EE
