Transcription: Alexander must have felt horror but rage too when he saw how the Persians had treated the prisoners from the Hellenic army. Perhaps this explains his orders to his soldiers to plunder the city and burn the palaces. This act of destruction was a black spot on Alexander's history and certainly in contrast with his character. Alexander spent two months in Persepolis and then proceeded to Basar Gades whom Gover is so read unto him. and also Astaspis, the Sartap of Carmania, submitting his country to the great king of Macedonia.
