For to go on in order, Demaratus of Corinth, now quite an old man, had made a great effort, about this time, to pay Alexander a visit; and when he had seen him, said he pitied the misfortune of those Grecians, who were so unhappy as to die before they had beheld Alexander seated on the throne of Darius. But he did not long enjoy the benefit of the king's kindness for him, any otherwise than that soon after falling sick and dying, he had a magnificent funeral, and the army raised him a monument of earth, fourscore cubits high, and of a vast circumference. His ashes were conveyed in a very rich chariot, drawn by four horses, to the seaside.

白话
科林斯的德马拉图斯这时已经是个老人,他费了很大劲去探望亚历山大。见到亚历山大后,他说自己替那些希腊人感到惋惜,因为他们不幸在亲眼看到亚历山大坐上大流士王座之前就死了。德马拉图斯没有享受多久国王的恩宠,不久就生病去世。亚历山大为他举行了隆重的葬礼,军队还为他堆了一座八十肘尺高、周长很大的土丘。他的骨灰由四匹马拉的华丽马车运到海边。核心是:亚历山大用厚葬回报老友,显示他重情义、不忘旧交。
