The Diadochi et al

Written by the hand of Gershom ben Judah in (March 988 of the Christian Calendar).

These are the men mentioned by the Diadocomachia as comprising the Diadochi, the men who fought over Alexander's Empire. I found mention of these men in the Diadocomachia, and though the names given there are most certainly not True Names, as all names hold power and these were powerful men, so do I begin this inquiry into their names.
