and they next called in Antipater and Zeuxis, the envoys of Antiochus. Upon their having spoken in a tone of supplication and entreaty, the senate voted its approval of the terms made with Scipio in Asia and when, a few days afterwards, the People also ratified the treaty, the oaths of adherence to it were exchanged with Antipater and his colleague.
After this the other envoys from Asia were introduced, and the Senate, having given them a short hearing, returned to all the same answer.
This was that they would send ten legates to pronounce on all disputes between the towns.
After giving this answer they appointed the ten legates, leaving matters of detail to their discretion, but themselves deciding on the following general scheme.
Of the inhabitants of Asia on this side Taurus those provinces formerly subject to Antiochus were to be given to Eumenes, with the exception of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Lycia&groupId=711&placeId=1304">Lycia</a> and the part of Caria south of the <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Meander&groupId=725&placeId=1331">Meander</a>,
which were to go to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rhodes&groupId=931&placeId=1665">Rhodes</a>: of the Greek cities those which formerly paid tribute to Attalus were to pay the same to Eumenes, and only in the case of those which were tributary to Antiochus was the tribute to be remitted.
Having laid down these general principles for the government of Asia, they dispatched the ten legates there to join Gnaeus Manlius Vulso, the proconsul.
But after all had been thus arranged the Rhodians came before the Senate again on behalf of the people of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Soli&groupId=982&placeId=1734">Soli</a> in <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Cilicia&groupId=467&placeId=350">Cilicia</a>; for they said that owing to their tie of kinship with this city it was their duty to espouse its cause,
the people of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Soli&groupId=982&placeId=1734">Soli</a> being colonists of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Argos&groupId=361&placeId=689">Argos</a>, like the Rhodians themselves; so that the two were in the position of sisters,
which made it only just that the Solians should receive their freedom from <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rome&groupId=935&placeId=1669">Rome</a> through the good graces of the Rhodians.
The senate after listening to them summoned the envoys of Antiochus, and at first ordered him to withdraw from the whole of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Cilicia&groupId=467&placeId=350">Cilicia</a>; but when the envoys refused to assent to this, as it was contrary to the treaty, they renewed the demand confining it to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Soli&groupId=982&placeId=1734">Soli</a> alone.
But upon the envoys stubbornly resisting it, they dismissed them, and calling in the Rhodians informed them of the reply they had received from Antipater and his colleague, adding that they would go to any extremity, if the Rhodians absolutely insisted on this.
The Rhodian envoys however were pleased with the cordial attention of the senate and said that they would make no further demand, so that this matter remained as it was.
The ten legates and the other envoys were preparing to depart, when Publius and Lucius Scipio, who had defeated Antiochus in the sea battle, arrived at <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Brundisium&groupId=411&placeId=762">Brundisium</a>
and after a few days entered <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rome&groupId=935&placeId=1669">Rome</a> and celebrated their triumph.
