Alexanders letter to all countries.

to the earth he shall again. When Alexander was set upon this throne, crowned with his diadem, & the Macedonians & the persons standing about him: before them all he [gert] write a letter to all countries, that was of this tenor.

'Alexander the son of god Amon & queen Olympias king of kings & lord of lords, to all Dukes, Princes, Earls, Barons, masters, & to all the folks of Persia: joy & grace. Since it is pleasing to god, that I sit on the throne of Darius, & be lord of the persians, great cause I have for to be rejoist greatly thereof, [ne] were it for the great multitude of folk that are slain. But since it so is that god has ordained me to your lorde, and your governor, therefore we command thou that in each city, throughout the lordship of Persia, thee ordain princes and governors as there was in Darius' time, to the which we command thou that thee be [obedient?] as the before-times have been, and that they do right to each man at their power. Also it is our will and our commandment, that each a man (welde) & rejoice [paysabily] his land
