What was the latin phrase that Alexander the Great said to his horse Bucephalus when the horse died in battle? The English translation is like "you were very much a horse" …or something.

Did he even speak Latin? The Roman Republic wasn’t much to look at in his time, and I doubt that Alexander would have bothered to learn the language of a tribe in Italy. Hey, I could be wrong though.
