Archon of Pella

[3] An inscription in Delphi shows that Archon had taken part in both the Isthmian and Pythian Games of 333 to 332 BC, won some horse-races.

The first six-line epigram celebrated Archon's athletic victories, his administration of the city of Babylon, a period of military service alongside Alexander, the glory given to his motherland (Pella) by his achievements, followed by the dedication of a sculptural group depicting Archon's family.

A shorter inscription of two elegiac couplets related to Archon’s victories in the Pythian and Isthmic agons in an equestrian event.

The third inscription was a decree granting privileges to Archon and his family (including priority in consulting the oracles, first place in the theater, exemption from taxes, and precedence in the tribunal).

[5][6] The dating of these inscriptions confirm that the Archon referred to was, known from the historiography as the officer of Alexander the Great, who was active in the East between 326 and 321 BC.
