For the coinage of Dropion, and his dates, see E.Pavlovska, "The Coinage of the Paeonian Kings Leon and Dropion" ( academia.edu ). His reign has sometimes been placed slightly earlier, immediately after the Gauls invaded Macedonia in 279 B.C.; see F.W.Walbank, in CAH vol. 7.1, page 230 ( Google Books ).
The state {koinon} of the Paiones erected this statue of Dropion son of Leon, king and founder of the Paiones, on account of his virtue and his goodwill towards them.
