De rebus Alexandri Magni (Aristobulus)

De rebus Alexandri Magni (Graece ) fuit opus ab Aristobulo Cassandrensi scriptum, hodie deperditum, de rebus ab Alexandro Macedoni gestis et de terris ab eo visis. Multa ex hoc opere sumpsit Arrianus ad Anabasin Alexandri contextandam. Fragmenta fere sexaginta ex opere Aristobuli nobis servantur.
