Filoxynene (Greek Φιλoξενoς) was a Macedonian official assigned to oversee the collection of tributes in the northern provinces of the Taurus Mountains after the return of Alexander the Great from Egypt (331 BC). , apparently did not immediately assume his command, since shortly afterwards Alexander sent him from the field of Gaugamela to take possession of Susa and the treasures deposited there, which he did without opposition.After this, it seems that he continued to play his functions discreetly in Asia Minor, until the beginning of the year 323 a. C., when it carried out a reinforcement of troops from Caria to Babylon, where it arrived just before the last illness of Alexander.

In the redistribution of provinces that followed the death of the monarch, we did not find mention of Philotoxus, but in 321 a. C. was named successor of Filotas in the government of Cilicia by Perdiccas. The means he later used to conciliate the favor of Antipater are not known, but in the partition of Triparadiso after the fall of Perdiccas he was allowed to retain his satrapía of Cilicia.From that moment we know nothing more of him. / p>
