B.C. 246 Callinicus (the Triumphant), succeeded Theos as king of Y.R. 528 Syria. After Seleucus his two sons, Seleucus and Antiochus, B.C. 226 succeeded in the order of their age. As Seleucus was sickly and poor and unable to command the obedience of the army, he was poisoned by a court conspiracy in the Y.R. 530 second year of his reign. His brother was Antiochus the B.C. 224 Great, who went to war with the Romans, of whom I have 567 written above. He reigned thirty-seven years. I have B.C. 187 already spoken of his two sons, Seleucus and Antiochus, both of whom ascended the throne. The former reigned twelve years, but feebly and without success by reason of his father's misfortune. Antiochus (Epiphanes) reigned not quite twelve years, in the course of which he captured Artaxias the Armenian and made an expedition into Egypt Y.R. 579 against Ptolemy VI., who had been left an orphan with one B.C. 175 brother.

He was also called Soter by the Syrians, the next who bore that title after the son of Seleucus Nicator. Against him a certain Alexander took up arms, falsely pretending to be of thee craft of his wife, Cleopatra, who was jealous on account of his marriage with Rhodoguna, for which reason also she had previously married his brother Antiochus. She had Y.R. 592 seq. borne two sons to Demetrius, named Seleucus and Antiochus B.C. 162 seq. Grypus (the Hook Nosed); and to Antiochus one son, named Antiochus Cyzicenus.
