[It is said][1] that Alexander [King] of the Macedonians having embarked on war against Dareios King of the Persians overcame him by force of arms.[2] And [Dareios] proposed that he come to a reconciliation and give his daughter Rhoxane to him in marriage.[3]
[It is said] that Dareios himself was killed by his own satrap, Bessos by name, and that he brought his head to Alexander of Macedon.[4]
See on this in the [entry] 'Alexander', and see in the [entry] 'Demokedes'. [Also] see above in the [entry] 'Darics'.[5]

Δαρεῖος: ὅτι Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ τῶν Μακεδόνων πρὸς Δαρεῖον τὸν Περσῶν βασιλέα συνάψας πόλεμον, τοῦτον κατὰ κράτος νικᾷ. καὶ αἰτεῖται εἰς διαλλαγὴν ἐλθεῖν καὶ δοῦναι αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα Ῥωξάνην πρὸς γάμου κοινωνίαν. ὅτι αὐτὸς Δαρεῖος ὑπὸ τοῦ ἰδίου σατράπου ἀναιρεῖται, Βέσσος ὄνομα: καὶ προσάγει τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἀλεξάνδρῳ τῷ Μακεδόνι. ζήτει περὶ τούτου ἐν τῷ Ἀλέξανδρος, καὶ ζήτει ἐν τῷ Δημοκήδης. ζήτει παράνω ἐν τῷ Δαρεικούς.

An entry on Dareios III, king of Persia 336-330 BCE.
[1] On many occasions the Suda simply uses the word ὅτι when quoting from an unnamed author. Based on alpha 1121, which we know independently quotes John of Antioch [fr.42 FHG 4, 555], it has been conjectured that the Suda has here also quoted from the same author [fr.41].
[2] At Ipsos near present-day Iskenderun in 333 BCE and at Gaugamela near Mosul in 331 BCE. See the Alexander Mosaic from the House of the Faun, Pompeii. It presumably depicts the battle of Ipsus where Alexander defeated Dareios III. The mosaic shows both Alexander and Dareios in the heat of the battle. See the web address 1.
[3] Dareios' letters to Alexander following the Battle of Issus are referred to here. Dareios proposed that he and Alexander become friends and allies and he offered his daughter Barsine (also called Statira) in marriage. Rhoxane was the daughter of Oxyartes, the satrap of Sogdiana. See Quintus Curtius 4.1.7-10; 4.5.1-6; Justin 11.12.3-4; Diodorus Siculus 17.54.1. See in general Bosworth (below) pp.227-229.
[4] The Suda is mistaken here. According to all the major sources Bessos fled after mortally wounding Dareios.
[5] alpha 1121; delta 442; delta 72, delta 73. (For 'see above' cf. delta 700 epsilon 4017.)
