Alexander lived thirty-two years. His life was as follow. From the age of twenty he was king; and he fought wars for twelve years – and won the wars he fought. He subdued twenty-two barbarian nations and fourteen Greek tribes. He founded twelve cities, namely Alexandria in Egypt, Alexandria by the Horpes, Alexandria at Issos, Scythian Alexandria, Alexandria on the river Granikos, Alexandria in the Troad, Alexandria at Babylon, Alexandria in Persia, the Alexandria named after the horse Bucephalus, Alexandria named after Poros, Alexandria at the river Tigris, Alexandria by the Massagetai.
Alexander was born on the new moon of the month of January, at sunrise, and died on the new moon of the month of April, at sunset. And they called the day of his death Neomaga because Alexander died young. Alexander died in the year of the world 5176, at the end of the one hundred and thirteenth Olympiad. From the death of Alexander to the incarnation of the Divine Logos by the Virgin is three hundred and twenty four years.
– Pseudo-Callisthenes, from The Alexander Romance (2nd-4th century AD), translated from Greek by Ken Dowden (1989)
