1 Either by being stoned (Curtius 6.11.10, 38) or by being pierced with javelins (Arrian. 3.26.3).
2 The arrest of Alexander was mentioned above (chap. 32.1). If the throne were vacant, he would have been the logical person to become king, so that his continued existence involved King Alexander in a certain risk. His wife was one of the many daughters of Antipater (Curtius 7.1.7), but his relationship to Antigonus is unknown. The latter was King Alexander's representative in Phrygia, but it is likely that his name is a mistake for Antipater's, since Alexander Lyncestes was his son-in-law (Curtius 7.1.7; Justin 11.7.1).
3 Polydamas and two Arab guides (Curtius 7.2.17-18). They made the thirty-days' trip in eleven days (Strabo 15.2.10).
4 Curtius 7.2.35-38; Justin 12.5.4-8. This name, the "Company of the Undisciplined," is not otherwise reported. The term could be translated also "Unassigned."
