    • [4] Alexander is not named by Polybius as a victim of the purge of 221. Since Ptolemy IV was apparently removing all potential dynastic threats at this time, including his mother and even his uncle Lysimachus, it hardly seems likely that he would have left Alexander alone if he was still alive. Hence my conclusion that he died at this time or earlier. Ý
