| | ~*Who Were Buried In Tomb II At Vergina*~ |
 | | This dryness, means that the bodies had been mostly decomposed at the time of cremation (Bartsiokas 2000, 515) leaning toward Philip III Arrhidaeus and Eurydice as the inhabitants of Tomb II, as after their assasination in 317 BCE, they were buried, exhumed, cremated, and then reburried by Cassander the next year (Bartsiokas 2000, 514). |
 | | One of the greaves found in the tomb was shorter, and was used to identify the bones as Philip II, as he had suffered a wound to the leg, which lamed him (Adams 1980, 68). |
 | | Susan Rotroff has dated these salt-cellars to the late fourth century BCE, and as they are unused, they naturally point to a later burial (Borza 1991, 35) indicating that the occupants of Tomb II are more likely to be Philip III Arrhidaeus and Eurydice. |
