平尚3孩取:证达对湖大王限

1 Darius III to Alexander the Great

From the capital of the kings of the world:As long as thesun shines on the head of Iskander the robber,etc.,etc.,lethim know that the King of Heaven has bestowed on me thedominion of the earth,and that the Almighty has granted to methe surface of the four quarters.Providence has also eminentlydistinguished me with glory,exaltation,majesty,and with mul-titudes of devoted champions and confederates.

A report has reached us that you have gathered to yourselfnumbers of thieves and reprobates,the multitude of whom hasso elated your imagination that you propose through theirco-operation to :procure the crown and throne,lay waste ourkingdom,and destroy our land and people.

Such crude resolves are perfectly consistent with the infatu-ation of the men of Room.It now behooves you,on reading thecontents of this epistle,to return instantly from the place towhich you have advanced.As to this criminal movement whichhas proceeded from you,be under no alarm from our majestyand correction,as you are not yet ranked among the numberof those who merit our vengeance and punishment.Behold!I send you a coffer full of gold,and an assload of sesame,to giveyou by these two objects an idea of the extent of my wealthand powers.I also send you a scourge and a ball:the latter,that you may amuse yourself with a diversion suitable to yourage;the former,to serve for your chastisement.

马其顿王亚历山大（公元前356-323）于公元前334年领兵横过希腊斯邦(Hellespont),打败波斯军。波斯王大流士三世(？-公元前331)深感受到

大流士三世致亚历山大大帝书

颁自天下万王之都：只要太阳还照在匪徒之辈伊斯堪大(1)的头上，他就应该知道，天帝已将统治天下的大权授予寡人，全能的神已将四方的疆土赐给寡人，天公还以特殊的恩荣加于寡人之身，使寡人获得令誉、显位、君权以及无数赤胆忠心的勇士盟友。

寡人近日得报，你聚集大批盗贼与不肖之徒，得意忘形，妄图凭借乌合之众的拥戴，·篡夺寡人的宝座，将寡人的疆土夷为平地，亡寡人之国，灭寡人之民。

这种粗陋的决策，与罗马人喜欢痴心妄想的本性是完全吻合的。今限你见诏之日，立即撤兵，回到兴师之处。你不必担心寡人天威震怒，对你妄动干戈之举大兴问罪之师，因为你还不配跻身寡人报复与惩罚之列。且看！寡人今送你黄金一箱，芝麻一驮，以此二物使你略知寡人何等富强。另送你皮鞭一根，皮球一个；皮球供你嬉戏之用（这种游戏正适合你的年龄），皮鞭则供惩罚你之用。

亚历山大威胁，遂致函驻扎于阿士都豪斯(Astukhus)河畔的亚历山大。

2 Alexander the Great to Darius III(1)

From Zu-Ul-Kurnain,to him who pretends to be king ofkings;that the very hosts of Heaven stand in awe of him;andthat the inhabitants of the world are by him enlightened!Howthen can it be worthy of such a person to be afraid of a con-temptible foe like Iskander?

Does not Dara know that the High and Mighty Lord givespower and dominion to whomsoever He wills?And also,when-ever a feeble mortal regards himself as a God,and conquerorover the hosts of Heaven,beyond doubt the indignation of the

Almighty brings down ruin on his kingdom?

How can the person doomed to death and corruption be a

God,he from whom his kingdom is taken away and who leavesthe enjoyment of the world to others?

Lo!I have resolved to meet you in battle,and.thereforemarch towards your realms.I profess myself the weak andhumble servant of God,to whom I address my prayers andlook for victory and triumph,and whom I adore.

Along with the letter in which you make a display of yourgreat power you have sent me a scourge,a ball,a coffer filledwith gold,and an assload of sesame;all of which I refer to goodfortune and regard as auspicious signs.The scourge portends thatI shall be the instrument of your castigation and become yourruler,preceptor,and director.The ball indicates that the surface

二亚历山大大帝致大流士三世书（其一）

楚·马尔·库尔南1)致那僭号万王之王、诡称天兵天将望之生畏、天下万民共沐其教化的人！如此说来，象伊斯堪大这样不足挂齿的敌手，又怎么值得你这样一位人物畏惧呢？

难道达拉(2)不知道，至高无上、无所不能的上帝愿意把权柄和疆土赐给谁就赐给谁吗？还有，当一个软弱无能的凡夫俗子妄自尊为神明，自称为天兵天将的降服者时，难道全能的上帝不是肯定要大发雷霆，毁灭他的国土吗？

一个注定要死亡腐烂、国土为他人所夺、尘世一切福分都要转让别人的人，怎么可能是神呢？

听着！寡人决定与你疆场相见，因此就要向你的国土进军。寡人公开承认自己是上帝软弱卑微的仆人，向上帝祷告、析求胜利、顶礼膜拜。

随同你那封耀武扬威的信，你还赠给寡人皮鞭一根、皮球

一个、黄金一箱和芝麻一驮。寡人把这一切看作佳运，视为吉祥之兆。鞭子显示寡人将替天对你行罚、成为你的君主、师傅

of the earth and the circumference of the globe shall be undermy lieutenants.The coffer of gold,which is part of your treasure,denotes that your riches shall soon be transferred to me.Andas to the sesame,although the grains are many in number,itis however soft to the touch and of all kinds of food the leastnoxious and disagreeable.

In return I send you a kaffis of mustard seed,that you maytaste and acknowledge the bitterness of my victory.And whereasthrough presumption you have exalted yourself,and have becomeproud.through the grandeur of your kingdom,and pretend tobe a Divinity on earth,and have even raised to the heavens thisstandard I truly am your supreme lord;and although by theenumeration of your numbers,preparations,and might youhave endeavored to alarm me;yet I confidently trust in theinterposition of Divine Providence,that it will please the Al-mighty to make thy boasting attended by the reproach of man-kind;and that in the same proportion as you have magnifiedyourself.He may bring on you humiliation and grant me victoryover you.My trust and reliance are in the Lord.And so farewell.
