In [[Miletus]], he tried to advance his claims further, attracting significant attention and sympathy. When the leaders of Miletus learned about this, they arrested him and sought advice from visiting Roman envoys on what to do with him; the envoys were contemptuous of the pretender and told the Miletans he was safe to release.<ref>Diodorus, 32.15</ref> He continued his travels through [[Ionia]], meeting former acquaintances of Perseus and gaining an audience with Kallipa, a former concubine of Perseus who was now married to Athenaios, brother of the Pergamene king [[Attalus II Philadelphus]].{{sfn|Kuzmin|2013|pp=281-282, 284}} Being a Macedonian by birth, and due to her former connections to the Antigonids, she accepted his claim and agreed to help him, giving him money and slaves, and probably recommending that he travel to [[Thrace]], where he would find a following.{{sfn|Kuzmin|2013|pp=283-284}}{{refn|group=Note|It has been suggested that being the wife of the king's brother, Kallipa could not have acted secretly, and that Athenaios and Attalus knew of her intrigues with Andriscus and deliberately allowed them to proceed. However, this is contradicted by the fact that a restored Macedon would be a threat to the Pergamenes, and that the Pergamenes would loyally assist Rome in the subsequent war against Andriscus.{{sfn|Kuzmin|2013|pp=285-286}}}}

He was also received favourably in Byzantium.{{sfn|Niese|1903|p=332}} He finally arrived in [[Thrace]], where he met [[Teres III]], who had married the granddaughter of Perseus and was the son of [[Cotys IV]], who had once been an ally of Perseus. Teres and the other Thracian chieftains, especially a certain Barsabas, received him enthusiastically; he held a coronation ceremony at Teres' court, was given a few hundred Thracian troops, and set off on his campaign.{{sfn|Niese|1903|pp=332-333}}<ref>Diodorus, Book 32</ref>
