		Seleucus appointed Nicomedes and Nicanor to govern the whole of the satrapy of Asia; they were his relatives, being the sons of Didymea, his sister.
		Seleucus killed the boar with the spear which he held; after killing the boar, he dragged its body along and used its blood to mark out the walls [of the city], paying no further attention to the eagle.
		Thus Seleucus founded the city over the blood of the boar; he sacrificed a pure maiden called Agaue, and set up a bronze statue of her for the good fortune of the city.

		Seleucus, even before he transferred the seat of government to Antioch, had removed it from Babylon to his city of Selcucia, on the Tigris.

		After a while, Seleucus divided his empire with his son Antiochus, committing to him the entire government of all the provinces beyond the Euphrates-a dangerous precedent, though one which can scarcely be said to have had actual evil consequences.

		The general dating of the new coin and its attribution to mint are subject to the same considerations as for Bellinger’s coin: 92-69 BC or 83-69 BC, at an uncertain mint in Syria or Cilicia.
		In addition, the survival of Seleucus until the sole reign of Antiochus is likely from the Philadelphos epithet of the latter’s coins, as well as from Seleucus’ probable identification with the later Seleucus-Cybiosactes grouping.
		There are uncertainties for this theory, including the question of the presence of Philometor in Ptolemais at the time of the coin issue, and his probable departure before the siege.
