Шаблон:Other people Antigonus, son of Menophilus was a Seleucid official (nauarchos).Шаблон:Sfn He served under king Alexander (I or II), in the mid-2nd century BC. He is known from an inscription found in the city of Miletus.
The inscription
The inscription of Antigonus was found in 1963 on a marble block which was part of the Gotenmauer wall in Miletus.[note 1]Шаблон:Sfn In the view of Peter Herrmann, the re-used block came from the necropolis of the city.Шаблон:Sfn The first two lines read:Шаблон:Sfn
Ἀντίγονος Μηνοφίλου ὁ γενόμενος ναύαρχος Ἀλε-
ξάνδρου τοῦ Συρίας βασιλέως·
Importance
The first lines translate as "Antigonus, son of Menophilus, Admiral of Alexander, king of Syria" (either Alexander I Balas or Alexander II Zabinas).Шаблон:Sfn
The inscription is important for understanding the Seleucid dynasty's self-representation.Шаблон:Sfn Ancient hostile historians designated the Seleucid kings as kings of Syria or "kings who reigned in Syria".Шаблон:Sfn Those designations were understood by traditional scholarship as mockery that emphasized the loss of Seleucid lands outside Syria; the inscription of Antigonus, a Seleucid official of the highest rank, proved that the geographical association of the Seleucids with the kingdom of Syria came from the dynasty's own self-representation.Шаблон:Sfn
