Greek text · Dindorf 4:341

μυρίας μὲν οὖν τοῦδε καὶ ἄλλας ἀριστείας ἐν τῇ κατʼ Ἀλεξάνδρειαν τοῦ Προυχείου πολιορκίᾳ μνημονεύουσιν, ἅτε τῶν ἐν τέλει προνομίας ἐξαιρέτου πρὸς ἀπάντων ἠξιωμένου, δείγματος δὲ ἕνεκα μόνου τοῦδε ἐπιμνησθήσομαι.

English · Claude translation

They record countless other exploits of his in the siege of the Pyrucheum at Alexandria, since he was deemed worthy by all of special precedence among those in authority; but for the sake of example I shall mention only this.
