Ephesiis ... Alexandri

also: Ephesians ... Alexander

Alexander III of Macedon (356–323 BC), king from 336 and conqueror of the Persian empire. Cicero invokes him in the Verrines (2.4) for his refusal to remove the works of art at Ephesus — a contrast with Verres's plunder of the same Asian shrines.
