		The opposition to Tryphon was, of course, dealt a stunning blow by this calamity but, before all was lost, the situation was rescued by another son of Demetrius Soter, who came from Side in Pamphylia to the aid of his house, was admitted to Seleucia in 138 and accepted by Cleopatra as her third husband.
		It was with a view of maintaining connection with the homeland that Seleucus I, Nicator, founded Antioch-on-the-Orontes and the sister cities, Apamea, Laodicea-ad-Mare, and Seleucia Pieria at the end of the 4th century B.C. Antioch was to be the western capital as Seleucia-on-the-Tigris was the eastern.

		At present the title of Seleucia is borne by the Metropolitan of Tarsus-Adana, dependent on the Patriarch of Antioch.
		About 732 nearly all ecclesiastical Isauria was incorporated with the Patriarchate of Constantinople; henceforth the province figures in the "Notitiae" of Byzantium, but under the name of Pamphylia.
		The city was built by Seleucus I, Nicator, King of Syria, about 300 B.C. It is probable that on its site existed one or two towns called Olbia and Hyria, and that Seleucia merely united them, giving them his name.

		Perhaps in part as a consequence of this marriage his old ally Ptolemy Lathyrus now deserted him and installed the fourth son of Grypus as king in Damascus with the title Demetrius Theus Philopator Soter.
		Nevertheless, for nearly a century and a half the empire retained its essential aspect of a kingdom with two capitals and two territories, connected by the northern roads to the Tigris and Euphrates; separated by the deserts to the south.

		When, in 160 B.C., Demetrius I, Soter, obtained the grudging recognition of the Roman Senate, he was the accepted king in Syria and Babylonia both, and though the rebel Hasmonaeans lurked in the wilderness by the Dead Sea, Judea itself had been won back and secured by a series of garrisoned fortresses.
		That is, Demetrius III, Seleucus VI, Antiochus X, Antiochus XI, Antiochus XII are entirely omitted, while the remark of the Armenian version and Hieronymus that Philip was captured by Gabinius shows that Philip I was confused with his son.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Ignatius of Antioch
		It is probable that he embarked on his way to Rome at Seleucia, in Syria, the nearest port to Antioch, for either Tarsus in Cilicia, or Attalia in Pamphylia, and thence, as we gather from his letters, he journeyed overland through Asia Minor.
		At Laodicea, on the River Lycus, where a choice of routes presented itself, his guards selected the more northerly, which brought the prospective martyr through Philadelphia and Sardis, and finally to Smyrna, where Polycarp, his fellow-disciple in the school of St. John, was bishop.
		At several places along the road his fellow-Christians greeted him with words of comfort and reverential homage.

		Antiochus addresses his correspondent as “his brother King Ptolemy Alexander.” Now this Ptolemy, the younger son of Cleopatra (III) had been sent as governor to Cyprus in 113/2 and was not officially king in Alexandria until 108/7, when his mother exiled her elder son and summoned the younger one.
		Antiochus was killed and such of his force as was not destroyed was forced to serve in the Parthian army.

		The relics of the holy martyr were borne back to Antioch by the deacon Philo of Cilicia, and Rheus Agathopus, a Syrian, and were interred outside the gates not far from the beautiful suburb of Daphne.
		In this work, which such competent Protestant critics as Pearson and Ussher regard as genuine, the full history of that eventful journey from Syria to Rome is faithfully recorded for the edification of the Church of Antioch.

		The stay at Smyrna, which was a protracted one, gave the representatives of the various Christian communities in Asia Minor an opportunity of greeting the illustrious prisoner, and offering him the homage of the Churches they represented.
