Passage 7.6.9
Θηβαίοις δὲ ἐς τοσοῦτο ἠρήμωσεν Ἀλέξανδρος τὴν πόλιν, ὡς ἔτεσιν ὕστερον οὐ πολλοῖς καταχθέντας ὑπὸ Κασσάνδρου μηδὲ σώζειν τὰ οἰκεῖα ἀξιόχρεως εἶναι· Ἀθηναίοις δὲ εὔνοια μὲν παρὰ τοῦ Ἑλληνικοῦ τῶν ἔργων μάλιστα ὑπῆρχε τῶν ὕστερον, ἀναπαύσασθαι δὲ οὔ ποτε ἐκ τοῦ Μακεδόνων πολέμου παρῆν αὐτοῖς.
Alexander utterly devastated the city of the Thebans to such a degree that, when Cassander later restored its inhabitants after not many years, they were no longer able even to preserve their own possessions. As for the Athenians, they indeed enjoyed the goodwill of the Greek people, especially due to their subsequent actions, but they never found any respite from their war against the Macedonians.
