Not off the top of my head, George. If you can find it in the bibliography of any of the Alexander books (and it will be in most of them, surely) then it will tell you the journal, or book, in which it was published originally. Then all you have to do is find a decent academic library!Alternatively, journals very often offer a reprint service, if you can track them down. But this can be quite expensive. They don't just photocopy the articles, usually, which means that they have quite high reprint costs. If you can find a decent library that is your best bet.All the bestMarcus

George,I don't have my books with me, but Badian's article is now part of a book of essays he did, mostly on the Roman Empire, which you should be able to get via interlibrary loan. This particular article as I recall is where Badian first puts forth his 'Conspiracy against Parmenio' theory.Regards,Tre
