Reading edition
Plutarch. Apophth. Alex. 29. Τιμᾷν μὲν ἐδόκει Κρατερὸν μάλιστα πάντων, φιλεῖν δὲ Ἡφαιστίωνα· Κρατερὸς μὲν γὰρ, ἔφη, φιλοβασιλεύς ἐστιν, Ἡφαιστίων δὲ φιλαλέξανδρος. Eadward’s affection for Tostig is also marked by William of Malmesbury, iii. 252; “Quia Tostinum diligeret, ... ut dilecto auxiliari non posset.”
