The territory south of the junction of the Indus with the Acesines to the sea was given to Oxyartes and Peithon, son of Agenor (Arrian, Anabasis of Alexander VI.15.4) The historian Johann Gustav Droysen considers this Philip to have been the father of Antigonus, the king of Asia. It is certain at least that they were both of the family of the princes from Elimiotis. DeathAfter the departure of Alexander from India, Philip was assassinated in 325 BC by a conspiracy formed among the mercenary troops under his command.{{sfn|Mookerji|1988|p=30}}{{r|arr_6.27_curt_10.1}} Alexander named Eudamus and Taxiles as rulers of his territories in replacement: "Alexander dispatched letters to India to Eudamus and Taxilas telling them to take charge of the district formerly under Philip, until he himself sent a satrap to govern it."
