Perdiccas kills Ptolemy in 365 BCE and assumes control of Macedon’s government.

Of the reign of Perdiccas we have very little information, knowing only that he was at one time engaged in hostilities with Athens on account of Amphipolis, and that he was distinguished for his patronage of men of letters.

Among these, we are told that Euphraeus, a disciple of Plato, rose to so high a place in his favor as completely to govern the young king, and exclude from his society all but philosophers and geometers.

He also served as Theorodokos (sacred envoy-receivers, whose duty is to host and assist the Theoroi, or "viewers" before Panhellenic Games and Festivals) in the Epidaurian Panhellenic games of about 365 BCE.
