(Δρωπίδης; Drōpídēs). From an aristocratic Athenian family (an ancestor with the same name was an archon in 645/4 BC and related to Solon); according to Curtius 3,13,15, he was one of the three Athenian emissaries to Darius [3] captured by Parmenion after the battle of Issus (in 333). The account in Arrian An. 3,24,4, needs to be corrected in some details where it deviates from Curtius [1. 1, 233f.] but reports credibly that Alexander [4] had him arrested. His fate is unknown.
