<head>Final Settlement of Asia Minor</head>In <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Apamea&groupId=340&placeId=660">Apamea</a> the ten legates and Manlius the proconsul, after listening to all the applicants, assigned, in cases where the dispute was about land, money, or other property, cities agreed upon by both parties in which to settle their differences. The general dispositions they made were as follows.
All autonomous towns which formerly paid tribute to Antiochus but had now remained faithful to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rome&groupId=935&placeId=1669">Rome</a> were freed from tribute: all which had paid contributions to Attalus were to pay the same sum as tribute to Eumenes:
any which had abandoned the Roman alliance and joined Antiochus in the war were to pay to Eumenes whatever tribute Antiochus had imposed on them.
They freed from tribute the Colophonians inhabiting <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Notium&groupId=798&placeId=1442">Notium</a>, the people of Cymae and <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Mylasa&groupId=779&placeId=1413">Mylasa</a>,
and in addition to this immunity they gave to Clazomenae the island called <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Drymussa&groupId=545&placeId=1024">Drymussa</a> and restored to the Milesians the holy district, from which they had formerly retired owing to the wars.
They advanced in many ways <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Chios&groupId=462&placeId=863">Chios</a>, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Smyrna&groupId=981&placeId=1733">Smyrna</a>, and Erythrae, and assigned to them the districts which they desired to acquire at the time and considered to belong to them by rights, out of regard for the goodwill and activity they had displayed during the war,
and they also restored to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Phocaea&groupId=891&placeId=1603">Phocaea</a> her ancient constitution and her former territory.
In the next place they dealt with the claims of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rhodes&groupId=931&placeId=1665">Rhodes</a>, giving her <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Lycia&groupId=711&placeId=1304">Lycia</a> and Caria south of the <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Maeander&groupId=725&placeId=1330">Maeander</a>, except Telmessus.
As for King Eumenes and his brothers they had made all possible provision for them in their treaty with Antiochus, and they now added to their dominion the following: in Europe the Chersonese, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Lysimachia&groupId=719&placeId=1319">Lysimachia</a> and the adjacent forts and territory,
and in Asia Hellespontic <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Phrygia&groupId=896&placeId=1611">Phrygia</a>, Greater <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Phrygia&groupId=896&placeId=1611">Phrygia</a>, that part of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Mysia&groupId=782&placeId=1417">Mysia</a> of which Prusias had formerly deprived Eumenes, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Lycaonia&groupId=707&placeId=1296">Lycaonia</a>, the <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Milyas&groupId=770&placeId=1395">Milyas</a>, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Lydia&groupId=718&placeId=1318">Lydia</a>, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Tralles&groupId=1042&placeId=1836">Tralles</a>, Ephesus, and Telmessus.
Such were the gifts they gave to Eumenes. As for <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Pamphylia&groupId=833&placeId=1505">Pamphylia</a>, since Eumenes maintained it was on this side of the Taurus, and the envoys of Antiochus said it was on the other, they were in doubt and referred the matter to the senate.
Having thus settled nearly all the most important questions, they left <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Apamea&groupId=340&placeId=660">Apamea</a> and proceeded towards the <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Hellespont&groupId=620&placeId=1141">Hellespont</a>, intending on their way to put matters in <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Galatia&groupId=596&placeId=385">Galatia</a> on a safe footing.
