Plutarch, Sayings Of The Spartans, 25.1
Δᾶμις πρὸς τὰ ἐπισταλέντα παρὰ τοῦ Ἀλεξάνδρου θεὸν εἶναι ψηφίσασθαι, συγχωροῦμεν ἔφη Ἀλεξάνδρῳ, ἐὰν θέλῃ, θεὸς καλεῖσθαι. Damis, with reference to the instructions sent from Alexander that they should pass a formal vote deifying him, said, We concede to Alexander that, if he so wishes, he may be called a god. Cf. Aelian, Varia Historia, ii. 19.
