Ba'lacrus(Βάλακρος).
1. The son of Nicanor, one of [Alexander's](alexander-the-great-bio-1)
body-guard, was appointed satrap of Cilicia after the battle of Issus, B.
C. 333. (Arrian, 2.12.) He fell in battle against the Pisidians in the life-time of
[Alexander](alexander-the-great-bio-1). (Diod.
18.22.) It was probably this Balacrus who married Phila, the daughter of Antipater,
and subsequently the wife of Craterus. (Phot. p. 111. b. 3, ed. Bekker.)
