Philip (in
Greek Φιλιππoς; died 326 BC), son of
Machatas and brother of
Harpalus, was an officer in the service of
Alexander the Great, who was appointed by him in 327 BC
satrap of
India, including the provinces westward of the
Hydaspes, as far south as the junction of the
Indus with the
Acesines. After the conquest of the
Malli and Oxydracae, these tribes also were added to his government.
