"At dinner, he made a toast in my honor; he praised my faithful services, gave me the golden cup from which he had drunk and then kissed me. The veteran Macedonians looked quite scandalized because I was Persian, or a eunuch, or because he was not ashamed of me, I could not say. For all three reasons, I presume."
