Libyan, I claim precedence of you. I am the better man.

Pardon me.

Then let Minos decide.

Who are you both?

This is Hannibal, the Carthaginian: I am Alexander, the son of Philip.

Bless me, a distinguished pair! And what is the quarrel about?

It is a question of precedence. He says he is the better general: and I maintain that neither Hannibal nor (I might almost add) any of my predecessors was my equal in strategy; all the world knows that.
