Neoptolemus

3. A Macedonian officer, who was killed at the siege of Halicarnassus, B. C. 333. (Diod. 17.25.) He is doubtless the same who is called by Arrian, the son of Arrhabaeus and brother of Amyntas, though that author represents him as having fought on the Persian side. (Arr. Anab. 1.20.15; and see Schmieder, ad loc.)
