[4]
His Friends asked: "To whom do you leave the kingdom?" and he
replied: "To the strongest."1
He added, and these were his last words, that all of his leading Friends would stage a vast
contest in honour of his funeral.2
[4]
τῶν δὲ
φίλων ἐπερωτώντων, τίνι τὴν βασιλείαν ἀπολείπεις; εἶπεν, τῷ
κρατίστῳ, καὶ προσεφθέγξατο, ταύτην τελευταίαν φωνὴν προέμενος, ὅτι
μέγαν ἀγῶνα αὐτῷ ἐπιτάφιον συστήσονται πάντες οἱ πρωτεύοντες τῶν
φίλων.
Diod. 17.117.4
