ALEXANDER

I should be preferred [*] to you, Libyan; Im the better man.

HANNIBAL

No, I should.

ALEXANDER

Let Minos decide, then.

v.7.p.145
MINOS

Who are you?

ALEXANDER

This is Hannibal of Carthage, and I am Alexander, son of Philip.

MINOS

Both famous indeed. But what are you disputing?

ALEXANDER

The first place. He says [*] he was a better General than I was, but I say, as is known to all, that in the arts of war I was superior not only to him, but to pretty well every one who went before me.

MINOS

Then let each of you speak in turn; you start, Libyan.
