6d. ] [Footnote 3: 5s. 2-1/4d. ] 38. During that year, king Antiochus, after having spent the winterat Ephesus, took measures for reducing, under his dominion, all thecities of Asia, which had formerly been members of the empire. As tothe rest, being either situated in plains, or having neither walls, arms, nor men in whom they could confide, he supposed they would, without difficulty, receive the yoke. But Smyrna and Lampsacus openlyasserted their independence: yet there was a danger that if w...hat theyclaimed were conceded to these, the rest of the cities in Aetolia andIonia would follow the example of Smyrna; and those on the Hellespontthat of Lampsacus. Wherefore he sent an army from Ephesus to investSmyrna; and ordered the troops, which were at Abydos, to leave thereonly a small garrison, and to go and lay siege to Lampsacus. Nor didhe only alarm them by an exhibition of force. By sending ambassadors, to make gentle remonstrances, and reprove the rashness and obstinacyof their conduct, he endeavoured to give them hopes that they mightsoon obtain the object of their wishes; but not until it should appearclearly, both to themselves and to all the world, that they had gainedtheir liberty through the kindness of the king, and not by any violentefforts of their own.
