Then Alexander has gone to Asia. Having visited Egypt, the tsar has left in
Babylon. Since then Alexander almost without quitting the place lived in Babylon, operating
The state through satraps. Some times it was going to go to the new
The campaign, on the north, in the countries of Scythians and galatov, but soon grew cold and remained
On a place. But Alexander could be given to passion consuming it completely now
To any erection of monuments and other constructions, which, on it
To own words, should glorify its person even more. Among
Alexander's the most considerable constructions in Babylon historians name the Temple
All gods, created by Stasikritom, the magnificent imperial palace reaching
In height of two hundred foots over which construction Erasistrat supervised and
Remarkable beauty the mausoleum of Statiry, the wife of the tsar, erected by the Egyptian
nektanebidom. These and other constructions not named me have been destroyed
Soldiers of Germolaja, therefore we know about them only from the remained descriptions and
Drawings.
Constant building demanded huge expenses, which the heavy
Burden laid down on all living in Alexander's power. Meanwhile in it
Reign has not occurred any considerable movement of people,
Dissatisfied with ruinous taxes that to us who have got used to such
vozushchenijam, often occurring in the majority of the states, it seems strange.
The reason of it I see in an order established by Eksatrom in a kingdom of Alexander.
Informers of Eksatra were there everywhere. Any, who at least in words
Stated discontent, should be afraid of an immediate denunciation and
The severe punishment comprehending without analysis right and wrong. Such
In the image everyone was afraid of another so about any arrangement could not be and
Speeches. antiklid about it witty notices that in Alexander's kingdom
Not Alexander, but Fear was the present tsar.
