Josephus, Antiquities 11.8.4-5
“Now Alexander, when he had taken Gaza, made haste to go up to Jerusalem. … And when he went up into the Temple, he offered sacrifice to God, according to the High Priest’s direction: and magnificently treated both the High Priest, and the priests. And when the book of Daniel was shewed him, wherein Daniel declared that one of the Greeks should destroy the empire of the Persians, he supposed that himself was the person intended.”
