Ba'lacrus
(
*Ba/lakros).
1. The son of Nicanor, one of
Alexander's 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. (
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.)
