Thanks freedumb2003. If I had to guess, it would be that this *may* have been built *for* Alexander's body, then repurposed for one of the rulers of the successor states. Unless they find an inscription "Here lies...") it's not likely to be conclusively determined. This update is the weekly GGG Digest ping as well.
