Diodorus Siculus: "Begitulah akhir dari Philip (II, raja Makedonia) .....

"Begitulah akhir dari Philip (II, raja Makedonia) ... Dia telah memerintah 24 tahun. Ia dikenal terkenal sebagai orang yang dengan sumber daya yang paling ramping untuk mendukung klaimnya atas takhta, memenangkan bagi dirinya sendiri kerajaan terbesar di antara Hellenes (Yunani), sementara pertumbuhan posisinya bukan karena kehebatannya dalam persenjataan seperti untuk kesaksiannya dan keramahannya dalam diplomasi."

--- Diodorus Siculus

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Such was the end of Philip (II, king of Macedonia) ...He had ruled 24 years. He is known to fame as one who with but the slenderest resources to support his claim to a throne won for himself the greatest empire among the Hellenes (Greeks), while the growth of his position was not due so much to his prowess in arms as to his adroitness and cordiality in diplomacy.
