Archon

(Ἄρχων).

1. The Pellaean, appointed satrap of Babylonia after the death of Alexander, B. C. 323 (Justin, 13.4; Diod. 18.3), is probably the same as the son of Cleinias mentioned in the Indian expedition of Alexander. (Arrian, Ind. chap. 18.)

2. Of Aegeira, one of those who defended the conduct of the Achaean league with reference to Sparta before Caecilius Metellus, B. C. 185. He was one of the Achaean ambassadors sent to Egypt in B. C. 168 (Plb. 23.10, 29.10), and is perhaps the same as the Archo, the brother of Xenarchus, mentioned by Livy. (41.29.)
