Pleuratus
5. An Illyrian exile, of whose services Perseus, king of Macedonia, availed himself on his embassies to Gentius, king of Illyria, in B. C. 169. (Liv. 43.19, 20; Plb. 28.8, 9.) We afterwards find him mentioned as levying a force of Illyrian auxiliaries for the service of Perseus. (Liv. 44.11.)
