This article appears in Volume V20, Page 935 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PATROCLES (c. 312261 B.C.) , a Macedonian general and writer on geographical subjects, who lived during the reigns of Seleucus I. and Antiochus I. When in command of the
fleet
  of Seleucus (285) he undertook a voyage of exploration on the Caspian Sea to discover possible
trade
  routes, especially for communication with the peoples of northern India. He came to the conclusion that the Caspian was a gulf or inlet, and that it was possible to enter it by sea from the Indian Ocean. The only information as to his
work
  (even the title is unknown) is derived from Strabo. After the death of Seleucus, Patrocles was sent by his successor Antiochus to put down a revolt in
Asia
 
Minor
 , and lost his
life
  in an engagement with the Bithynians.
