337/6 B.C.When Phrynichus was archon at Athens, the Romans installed as
consuls Titus Manlius Torquatus and Publius Decius.Phrynichus was archon at Athens from July 337 to June 336 B.C. The
consuls of 340 B.C. were T. Manlius Imperiosus Torquatus and P.
Decius Mus (Broughton, 1.135). In this year King Philip, proudly conscious of his
victory at Chaeroneia and seeing that he had dashed the confidence of the leading Greek cities,
conceived of the ambition to become the leader of all Greece. He spread the word that he wanted to make war on the Persians in the Greeks' behalf and to

to Memnon and appointed him commanding general of the whole war. He gathered a force of mercenaries, manned three hundred ships, and pursued the
conflict vigorously. He secured Chios, and then coasting along to Lesbos easily mastered
Antissa and Methymna and Pyrrha and Eressus. Mitylene also, large and possessed of rich stores
of supplies as well as plenty of fighting men, he nevertheless captured with difficulty by
assault after a siege of many days and with the loss of many of his soldiers. News of the general's activity spread like wildfire and most of the
Cyclades sent missions to him. As wor

told only by Curtius 9.7.16-26 (calling the Macedonian
"Corratas"). Dioxippus had won the victory in boxing at Olympia, probably in 336 B.C. (Berve, Alexanderreich, 2, no. 284).
Among the king's companions there was a Macedonian named
