"For many days the king lay helpless under his treatment, and the Greeks who had been settled in Bactria and Sogdiana, who had long borne unhappily their sojourn among peoples of another race and now received word that the king has died of his wounds, revolted against the Macedonians. They formed a band of 3,000 men and underwent great hardship on their homeward route. Later they were massacred by the Macedonians after Alexander's death." (Diodorus Siculus - 99.5)
Diodorus Siculus lived from est. 90BC to 30BC.
