Mazaios died in 328 BC and was then replaced by Stamenes between 328 and 323 BC, then by Archon between 323 and 321 BC. Seleucus became a satrap from 321 BC. When the latter was expelled from Babylon, he was replaced by Peithon in the name of Antigone le Borgne between 317 and 311 BC. 306 BC and founded the Seleucid dynasty.
