There is no record to indicate whether Aristotle lived with his father in Pella, the capital of Macedonia, while Nicomachus attended to king Amyntas at the court there. However, Aristotle was certainly friendly with Philip, king Amyntas's son, some years later and it seems reasonable to assume that the two, who were almost exactly the same age, had become friendly in Pella as young children.
Walang record upang ipahiwatig kung Aristotle nanirahan sa kanyang ama sa Pella, ang kabisera ng Macedonia, habang Nicomachus pumasok sa hari Amyntas sa korte doon. Gayunman, Aristotle ay tiyak friendly na may Philip, king Amyntas's anak na lalaki, may ilang taon na mamaya at ito tila sa makatwirang ipalagay na ang dalawa, na ang halos eksakto ang parehong edad, nagkaroon na maging friendly sa Pella bilang bata.
