ABSTRACT
Ptolemy, regent in Macedon for Perdikkas, died in 365 and Perdikkas succeeded in his own right. The achievements of Perdikkas, which include keeping Athens out of Amphipolis (cp. Aischin. ii.29), and the reorganization of Macedonian harbour-dues in 361/0 through the agency of the Athenian exile Kallistratos (Ps.-Arist. Oecon. ii.22, cp. p. 229) are overshadowed by the disaster in 359 in which he lost his life and 4000 men to the invading Illyrians under King Bardylis (Diod xvi.2). The new king was Philip II.
