Zeus, our king, grant that I may avenge me on him that was first to do me wrong, even on brilliant Alexander, and subdue you him beneath my hands; that many a one even of men yet to be may shudder to work evil to his host, that has shown him friendship.
Ζεῦ ἄνα δὸς τίσασθαι ὅ με πρότερος κάκ' ἔοργε δῖον Ἀλέξανδρον , καὶ ἐμῇς ὑπὸ χερσὶ δάμασσον , ὄφρα τις ἐρρίγῃσι καὶ ὀψιγόνων ἀνθρώπων ξεινοδόκον κακὰ ῥέξαι , ὅ κεν φιλότητα παράσχῃ .
Ζεύς ἄναξ δίδωμι τίνω ὁ ἐγώ πρότερος κακός ἔρδω δῖος Ἀλέξανδρος , καί ἐμός ὑπό χείρ δαμάζω , ὄφρα τις ῥιγέω καί ὀψίγονος ἄνθρωπος ξεινοδόκος κακός ῥέζω , ὁ ἄν φιλότης παρέχω .
