How Alexander trapped a dreadful people called Gog and Magog between two mountains because they devoured all manner of flesh, human and other.

At this time there lived in a land to the East a people of hideous appearance and inclined to all manner of foulness: they ate every kind of meat including the flesh of dead humans. Word of them spread throughout the world; and when Alexander heard about these evil people he resolved to rid the land of them if he could.

So after his conquests of the Western lands he set out with his whole army and made his way to the land of Yraine, which he swiftly subdued, and then to Arcanie; here he faced many stern battles but vanquished the people nonetheless, routing them on the field of battle. Next he confronted the Armis, defeating and subjugating them likewise; and then he entered the land where these evil people lived.

As soon as he arrived and witnessed their foul practices, he feared that if they spread to other lands the world might be corrupted and befouled by their wicked example; so he swiftly herded them together, men, women and children alike, and drove them from this eastern land where they dwelt and into the north, to a place between two great mountains. When they reached there the good King Alexander, so full of all fine qualities, prayed to the almighty and immortal God that by His gracious mercy he would move the two mountains together – one was called Promunturium and the other Mount Boreum.
