[6] Antipater was forced to mobilize his entire army and to advance through Macedonia into Thrace to settle with him.1

While Antipater was occupied with this,2 the Lacedaemonians thought that the time had come to undertake a war and issued an appeal to the Greeks to unite in defence of their freedom.

1 He had been appointed by Alexander before the start of the Asian campaign (Berve, Alexanderreich, 2, no. 499). Antipater was Alexander's viceroy in Macedonia. The campaign ended with an agreement leaving Memnon in his governorship. Some years later he conducted reinforcements to Alexander and took part in his later operations in the East (Curtius 9.3.21). His revolt is not otherwise mentioned.

2 The narrative is continued from chap. 48.1 and concluded, chap. 73.5-6. Cp. Curtius 6.1; Justin 12.1.8-11.
