| Quote | “Like Alexander [David the Builder, - E. K.] sighed, when, as they say, some philosopher told him [Alexander, E. K.]: “There are plenty, countless kingdoms, where they haven’t even heard your name”. He sighed and said: “If they are left (unconquered, E. K.), what will be my domain!” That is why he, then Alexander (David the Builder, E, K.) decided this, as there was no other way out [except allying with Kipchacks, E. K.]”. (pg. 335) |
