Zenon

2. An officer in the service of king Philippus. He was one of the governors of Athamania, being stationed at Theium. When Athamania revolted, he held out against the insurgents for a few days, but was eventually compelled to retire. When Philippus invaded Athamania, Zenon was sent to take possession of Ethopia. He found it necessary, however, to retire to a stronger position when attacked by the Athamanians. The greater part of his forces were killed; he himself with a few others escaped to the king. (Liv. 38.1, &c.)
