Eum. 13.1Sīc Eumenēs annōrum quīnque et quadrāgintā, cum ab annō vīcēsimō, utī suprā ostendimus, septem annōs Philippō appāruisset, tredecim apud Alexandrum eundem locum obtinuisset, in eīs ūnum equitum alae praefuisset, post autem Alexandrī Magnī mortem imperātor exercitūs dūxisset summōsque ducēs partim reppulisset, partim interfēcisset, captus nōn Antigonī virtūte, sed Macedonum periūriō tālem habuit exitum vītae.Thus Eumenes, at forty-five years of age, after he had, from his twentieth year, as we have shown above, served Philip for seven years and held the same place with Alexander for thirteen, during which he had for one year commanded a cavalry wing, and after the death of Alexander the Great had led armies as a general and partly repulsed, partly killed the greatest commanders, met such an end to his life, captured not by Antigonus' valour but by the perjury of the Macedonians. Eum. 13.2In quō quanta omnium fuerit opīniō eōrum, quī post Alexandrum Magnum rēgēs sunt appellātī, ex hōc facillimē potest iūdicārī, quod, quōrum nēmō Eumene vīvō rēx appellātus est, sed praefectus, eīdem post huius occāsum statim rēgium ōrnātum nōmenque sūmpsērunt neque, quod initiō praedicārant, sē Alexandrī līberīs regnum servāre, praestāre voluērunt et hōc ūnō prōpugnātōre sublātō quid sentīrent aperuērunt.How high an opinion of him was held by all those who after Alexander the Great were called kings can very easily be judged from this: that none of them, while Eumenes lived, was called king, but governor, yet the same men, immediately after his death, assumed royal attire and title, and did not choose to make good what they had proclaimed at the start, that they were preserving the kingdom for Alexander's children, and with this one champion removed they revealed what they really thought.
Eum. 13.3Huius sceleris prīncipēs fuērunt Antigonus, Ptolemaeus, Seleucus, Lysimachus, Cassandrus.The leaders in this crime were Antigonus, Ptolemy, Seleucus, Lysimachus and Cassander. Eum. 13.4Antigonus autem Eumenem mortuum propinquīs eius sepeliendum trādidit.Antigonus, however, handed over the dead Eumenes to his relatives for burial. Eum. 13.4Iī mīlitārī honestōque fūnere, comitante tōtō exercitū, humāvērunt ossaque eius in Cappadociam ad mātrem atque uxōrem līberōsque eius dēportanda cūrārunt.They buried him with a soldier's honourable funeral, the whole army escorting him, and took care that his bones were carried to Cappadocia to his mother and his wife and children.
