[Footnote 80: Heraclius might write to a friend in the
modest words of Cicero: Castra habuimus ea ipsa quae contra
Darium habuerat apud Issum Alexander, imperator haud paulo
melior quam aut tu aut ego." Ad Atticum, v. 20. Issus, a
rich and flourishing city in the time of Xenophon, was
ruined by the prosperity of Alexandria or Scanderoon, on the
other side of the bay.]
