Macha'tas

（*Maxa/tas).

1. A Macedonian, father of Harpalus, and of Philip, the satrap of India. (Arr. Anab. 3.6.7, 5.8.5.) He was a brother of Derdas and of Phila, one of the many wives of Philip of Macedonia, and belonged to the family of the princes of Elymiotis. After the expulsion of those princes he seems to have resided at the court of Philip, though it would appear from an anecdote recorded by Plutarch that he hardly enjoyed consideration corresponding to his former rank. (Plut. Apophth. p. 179; Athen. 13.557c.; Droysen, Alexander, p. 43.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
