<head>Antiochus Moves from Bactria Through Interior Asia</head><note anchored="yes" place="inline" resp="ess" id="note48">Antiochus in Bactria. See<ref target="b10c48" targOrder="U">10, 48</ref>,<ref target="b10c49" targOrder="U">49</ref></note>Euthydemus was himself a Magnesian, and he answered the envoy by saying that "Antiochus<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note49">The answer of Euthydemus (a Magnesian), king of Bactria, to Teleas, the envoy of Antiochus.</note>was acting unjustly in trying to expel him from his kingdom. He was not himself a revolted subject, but had destroyed the descendant of some who had been such, and so had obtained the kingdom of Bactria." After adding more arguments to the same effect, he urged Teleas to act as a sincere mediator of peace, by urging Antiochus not to grudge him the royal title and dignity, "for if he did not yield to this demand, neither of them would be safe: seeing that great hords of Nomads were close at hand, who were a danger to both; and that if they admitted them into the country, it would certainly be utterly barbarised." With these words he sent Teleas back to Antiochus. The king had long been looking about for some means of ending the controversy; and when he was informed by Teleas of what Euthydemus had said, he readily admitted these pleas for a pacification. And after several journeys of Teleas to and fro between the two, Euthydemus at last sent his son Demetrius to confirm the<pb n="78" />terms of the treaty. Antiochus received the young prince; and judging from his appearance, conversation, and the dignity of his manners that he was worthy of royal power, he first promised to give him one of his own daughters, and secondly conceded the royal title to his father. And having on the other points caused a written treaty to be drawn up, and the terms of the treaty to be confirmed on oath, he marched away; after liberally provisioning his troops, and accepting the elephants belonging to Euthydemus.<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note50">Antiochus continues his march into the interior of Asia.</note>He crossed the Caucasus<note anchored="yes" place="unspecified" id="note51">That is the<foreign lang="la">Caucasus Indicus</foreign>or Paropamisus: mod.

For this campaign convinced the Europeans as well as the Asiatics that he was worthy of royal power. . . .<pb />
