From: "Greene, Carlton" Subject: RE: (urth) Typhon and Pas Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 18:55:01 I always understood that the chiliarch was protecting against news of Typhon's weakened, post-operative condition, and not the fact that he would be sporting two heads for a while.
The chiliarch threatened Sev with death if he should speak of > anything he might see or hear, and ensured the troopers could not see > the monarch when the curtain was drawn.
I think we can guess what it is > Typhon did not want spoken of, and it seems clear that he does not wish > his subjects generally to see or know about his surgery or the means by > which his intended rejuvenation was supposed to occur.

 The Diadochi: The death of Antipater
While already on his death-bed, Antipater appointed Polyperchon guardian of the kings and general with full powers (Polyperchon was nearly the oldest member of Alexander's expedition, and was respected by the Macedonians.) His son Cassander he appointed 'chiliarch' and second in authority.
The office and rank of chiliarch was first raised to fame and repute by the Persian kings, and afterwards under Alexander it achieved great power and prestige when he became an admirer of Persian customs.
Cassander, however, was dissatisfied with the arrangement and incensed at the idea that his father's authority should pass to someone who was not related by blood, particularly since Antipater had a son capable of handling affairs who had already given sufficient proof of his merits and bravery.

The chiliarch could not well refuse to grant so reasonable a request; and if it is granted, his doom is sealed.
A moment's reflection was sufficient to show Paul that his [268] only hope of safety was in the chiliarch, and, therefore, he at once had the facts communicated to him.
(19) The chiliarch took him by the hand, and drawing aside in private, asked him, What is it that you have to tell me? (20) And he said, The Jews have agreed to request you that you bring down Paul into the Sanhedrim to-morrow, as though they would inquire more accurately concerning him.
