Phot., 92.2. A different translation has been used for readability. Given Photius is transcribing the writings of Arrian, who is known to have followed Ptolemy I Soter, this view may be that of the generals who Perdiccas now held pre-eminence over. Photius. "92.

Heckel 2006, p. 198; Diod., 17.117.3, 18.2.4. There is some scholarly debate about whether this really occurred or is "Perdiccan propaganda". Most scholars accept it on its face to explain how Perdiccas became so influential after Alexander's death, but others reject its veracity due to how the histories of the time came down to us; AtkinsonYardley 2009, p. 145 points out Ptolemy's enmity for Perdiccas (Ptolemy's lost account greatly influenced later surviving sources, namely Arrian) might explain the muddled tradition, as well as Curtius' tendency to see Roman patterns, or perhaps place them, in Greek history; Badian 2012, passim in "The Ring and the Book", believes it is impossible to know the truth of the matter, in that evidence for and against are roughly equal. Regardless, Perdiccas' dominance over the other Successors immediately after Alexander's death is undisputed. Heckel, Waldemar (2006).
