He had been appointed Chiliarch, Polyperchon's second in command, a rank to which Alexander had given high prestige.

He died in the year 318, at the advanced age of 80, leaving Polysperchon, one of Alexander's oldest generals, regent; much to the surprise and mortification of his son Cassander, who received only the secondary dignity of Chiliarch, or commander of the cavalry.
