"...I have not considered myself unworthy to make Alexander's exploits known to mankind. That much I have discerned about myself, whoever I may be. I need not set down my name, for it is not unknown to men, nor is my country, nor my family nor the offices, if any there were, I have held in my own land. But this I do put on record: that these chronicles are my country and my family and my offices, and have been from my youth."
