Translation 5. After the death of Darius, Alexander the Great subdued the Hyrcan­ians and Mandi. While he was fighting there, he was approached along with 300 women by the shameless Amazon Halestris, who is sometimes called Minothea and who had been aroused by the hope of bearing children by him. 6. After this, he fought the Parthians. They resisted him for a long time and he almost destroyed them before he finally conquered them.
