These philosophers were reputed to be clever and concise in answering questions, and Alexander therefore put difficult questions to them, declaring that he would put to death him who first made an incorrect answer, and then the rest, in an order determined in like manner; and he commanded one of them, the oldest, to be judge in the contest.

64.2 The first one, accordingly, being asked which, in his opinion, were more numerous, the living or the dead, said that the living were, since the dead no longer existed.

The third, being asked what animal was most cunning, said: That which up to this time man has not discovered.

The fifth, being asked which, in his opinion, was older, day or night, replied: Day, by one day; and he added, upon the king expressing amazement, that hard questions must have hard answers.
