Surviving Nectanebo II

Alexander would probably smash through Egypt anyway. The Egyptian revolt came about because Persian domination was extremely unpopular and, due to the Spartan invasion first, and the revolt of the satraps later, because Artaxerxes II was unable to properly allocate resources to suppress it. Once Artaxerxes III had securely established himself and had assembled his army, he had no problem reconquering Egypt.
