(
1. A commander of Amphipolis in the reign of king Perseus of Macedonia. When the report of
the king's defeat at Pella reached Amphipolis, and Diodorus feared lest the 2000 Thracians who
were stationed as garrison at Amphipolis should revolt and plunder the place, he induced them
by a cunning stratagem to leave the town and go to Emathia, where they might obtain rich
plunder. After they had left the town, and crossed the river Strymon, he closed the gates, and
Perseus soon after took refuge there. (
