“Macedonian Legionnaires and their Thracian Bucephaluses carved out on the stone, look down  from the throne on the rock, surprised,  just like the three surviving Greek letters “A… os” – other letters from Alexandros have either been eaten by time or scraped off by Persians; round about a hundred years ago there happened to be about seven words inscribed on the side of this rock: “You Alexandros… all things here obey my will”. And now, from the bosom of the rock those three letters appear as pathetically as the hopeless yell of a drowning man:

Aaa…o-o-o-o-o-o-s” (pg. 149)
