Britannica's article header says "Philip II, byname Philip of Macedon" and there are questions from past ACF Nationals and PACE Nationals sets that I can find that accept Philip of Macedon, and in multiple HSAPQ sets.

Re: 2012 LIST discussion
No, Philip of Macedon is routinely an acceptable answer for him because it's a title he's referred to by, the same way Alexander is called "Alexander the Great."
