[5] καὶ δὴ καὶ μητρόπολίς ἐστιν αὕτη τῆς Συρίας, καὶ τὸ βασίλειον ἐνταῦθα ἵδρυτο τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῆς χώρας: [p. 1046] οὐ πολύ τε λείπεται καὶ δυνάμει καὶ μεγέθει Σελευκείας τῆς ἐπὶ τῷ Τίγρει καὶ Ἀλεξανδρείας τῆς πρὸς Αἰγύπτῳ. συνῴκισε δ᾽ ὁ Νικάτωρ ἐνταῦθα καὶ τοὺς ἀπογόνους Τριπτολέμου, περὶ οὗ μικρὸν πρόσθεν ἐμνήσθημεν: διόπερ Ἀντιοχεῖς ὡς ἥρωα τιμῶσι, καὶ ἄγουσιν ἑορτὴν ἐν τῷ Κασίῳ ὄρει τῷ περὶ Σελεύκειαν. φασὶ δ᾽ αὐτὸν ὑπ᾽ Ἀργείων πεμφθέντα ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰοῦς ζήτησιν, ἐν Τύρῳ πρῶτον ἀφανοῦς γενηθείσης, πλανᾶσθαι κατὰ τὴν Κιλικίαν: ἐνταῦθα δὲ τῶν σὺν αὐτῷ τινας Ἀργείων κτίσαι τὴν Ταρσὸν ἀπελθόντας παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ: τοὺς δ᾽ ἄλλους συνακολουθήσαντας εἰς τὴν ἑξῆς παραλίαν, ἀπογνόντας τῆς ζητήσεως ἐν τῇ ποταμίᾳ τοῦ Ὀρόντου καταμεῖναι σὺν αὐτῷ: τὸν μὲν οὖν υἱὸν τοῦ Τριπτολέμου Γόρδυν ἔχοντά τινας τῶν σὺν τῷ πατρὶ λαῶν εἰς τὴν Γορδυαίαν ἀποικῆσαι, τῶν δ᾽ ἄλλων τοὺς ἀπογόνους συνοίκους γενέσθαι τοῖς Ἀντιοχεῦσιν.
