Antiochus

For though the Galatians had supplied Antiochus with troops, yet as peace had been made with him, it rested with the Roman people, and not with Manlius to determine in what manner the Galatians should be punished for assisting an enemy.

The Romans made this objection to Antiochus, that he claimed cities, which neither he himself, his father, nor his grandfather had ever possessed.

In the peace with Antiochus, he was bound not to sail within the capes of Calycadnius and Sarpedon, except with ships carrying tribute, ambassadors, or hostages.

you deny it, Antiochus above all.

This seemed gross to Antiochus himself and self-contradictory;

but there is no such necessity in the nature of things") — when, then, the dialecticians fight with this man, that is, Antiochus and the Stoics — for he overthrows the whole of dialectic;

To Antiochus

In return for it, then, I greet you, and beg you earnestly to lay hold of the salvation of your soul, schooling all the passions of the flesh by reason, and keeping the thought of God continually established in your soul as in some most holy temple;

To Antiochus

Wherefore Carneades, as I see our Antiochus write, used to reprehend Chrysippus for praising that song of Euripides:

In which the most noble philosophers spent their lives — Xenocrates, Crantor, Arcesilaus, Lacydes, Aristotle, Theophrastus, Zeno, Cleanthes, Chrysippus, Antipater, Carneades, Clitomachus, Philo, Antiochus, Panaetius, Posidonius, and innumerable others, who, once having gone out, never returned home.

But your Brutus, on the authority of Aristo and Antiochus, does not think this;

To me, at least, you seem to attend prettily well to Antiochus, whom you hear.

But the opinion of the ancients our Antiochus seems to me to pursue most diligently — the same which he teaches was held by Aristotle and Polemo.

But since there is great disagreement as to in what this lies, we must employ the Carneadean division, which our Antiochus is wont gladly to use.

Antiochus, however, with his own ship and one other sailed from Notium into the harbour of Ephesus and coasted along past the very prows of Lysander’s ships.

Meantime Alcibiades, hearing that Thrasybulus had come out from the Hellespont and was investing Phocaea, sailed across to see him, leaving in command of the fleet Antiochus, the pilot of his own ship, with orders not to attack Lysander’s ships.

and there went up thither Pelopidas for the Thebans, Antiochus, the pancratiast, for the Arcadians, and Archidamus for the Eleans;

The situation was so precarious and dangerous that Cephisophon of Paeania, one of the friends and companions of Chares, was compelled to make the motion that Antiochus, who commanded the dispatch boats, should sail immediately and hunt up the general who had been put in charge of our forces, and in case he should happen to find him anywhere, should tell him that the people of Athens were astonishe …

This correction too, if you think fit, I will set out, just as Antiochus used to do.

But I think it must be reckoned, as our intimate Antiochus held, a correction of the Old Academy rather than any new school.

and he follows the very same school as you, for he listened for some time at Athens to Aristus, whose brother Antiochus you heard.

for according to Antiochus the Stoics agree with the Peripatetics in substance and differ only in words.

and it was precisely when I seemed least engaged in it that I was most a philosopher — as is shown both by my speeches, which are full of the maxims of philosophers, and by my intimacy with the most learned men, in whom my house has always abounded, and by my having been trained by those eminent teachers, Diodotus, Philo, Antiochus, and Posidonius.

And Antiochus of Cyzicus, when he was short of money, ordered the golden statue of Zeus, fifteen cubits in height, to be melted down, and another like it, of meaner material, gilded over with leaf, to be set up again.

The Antiochidae were not unmindful that Antiochus was the son of Heracles.

For if your faith from so long a time, and goodwill toward their people, and partnership in every fortune, cannot make your constitution secure — nor Mithridates being overthrown, nor Antiochus, nor the rule of the sea handed over through many dangers and toils, nor the oaths of friendship from so many years ago, nor the monuments lying beside Zeus himself until now, nor the power that shared dang …

the conqueror of Hannibal, the conqueror of Antiochus, the ornament of his own consulship, the surety for his brother’s, who, but for his own delay, would be set beside Jupiter—him civil seditions will harass as the saviour of his country, and after he had as a young man scorned honours that made him the equal of the gods, in old age the ambition of stubborn exile will please him.
