Several cities within the lawful borders of the satrapies of Syria, Mesopotamia, and holy Babylonia itself have been seized by an usurper, a non-Macedonian barbarian named Yaasai, who has abused the trust of the common people through false claims of saving Alexander the Great.

It is hereby decreed by Craterus, friend and lieutenant of Alexander, satrap of Syria, and strategos in the army of Macedon, in concordance with the dynasts of the imperial house of Argead and the other strategoi, satraps, and companions of Alexander, that the traitor Yaasai are his polity are illegitimate and in a state of rebellion against the Macedonian Empire, and that all lawful subjects of Macedonia are authorized and instructed to use all available force to see the return of the occupied cities to their lawful satrapies.

May Alexander's empire last ten thousand years!
