καὶ λέγει Ἀριστόβουλος αὐτὸς ταχθῆναι πρὸς Ἀλεξάνδρου κοσμῆσαι ἐξ ὑπαρχῆς τῷ Κύρῳ τὸν τάφον. καὶ τοῦ μὲν σώματος ὅσαπερ ἔτι σῶα ἦν καταθεῖναι ἐς τὴν πύελον καὶ τὸ πῶμα ἐπιθεῖναι, ὅσα δὲ λελώβητο αὐτῆς κατορθῶσαι: καὶ τὴν κλίνην ἐντεῖναι ταινίαις καὶ τἆλλα ὅσα ἐς κόσμον ἔκειτο κατὰ ἀριθμόν τε καὶ τοῖς πάλαι ὅμοια ἀποθεῖναι καὶ τὴν θυρίδα δὲ ἀφανίσαι τὰ μὲν αὐτῆς λίθῳ ἐνοικοδομήσαντα, τὰ δὲ πηλῷ ἐμπλάσαντα, καὶ ἐπιβαλεῖν τῷ πηλῷ τὸ σημεῖον τὸ βασιλικόν.
