Fighting between them ensued, with the empire settling down to Egypt, Syria, Asia Minor and Macedonia.

The dynasties which persisted were the Seleucids in Syria-Asia Minor-Mesopotamia (the far east returned to native rule quickly), the Ptolemies in Egypt and the Macedonians. Macedonia was swallowed up by Rome in the 2nd Century BCE, Asia Minor and Syria in the 1st Century BCE (by Lucullus and Pompey), and then also Egypt by Octavian Augustus.
