To these commissioners, free mandates were given concerning those matters which belonged to the immediate arbitration; concerning the main issues, the senate decided. All of Lycaonia, both Phrygias, and Mysia—which, called "the Woods," the king had taken away—they restored to the king, as well as Milyas, Lydia, and Ionia, except for those towns which had been free on the day when the battle was fought with King Antiochus; and by name, Magnesia ad Sipylum, Caria which is called Hydrela, the Hydrelitan territory sloping towards Phrygia, and the forts, villages, and towns along the river Maeander, unless they had been free before the war, and likewise by name Telmessus and the camp of the Telmessians, except for the land which had belonged to Ptolemy of Telmessus.
haec omnia, quae supra sunt scripta, regi Eumeni iussa dari. §37.56.5Rhodiis Lycia data extra eundem Telmessum et castra Telmessium et agrum, qui Ptolemaei Telmessii fuisset; hic et ab Eumene et Rhodiis exceptus. §37.56.6ea quoque his pars Cariae data, quae propior Rhodum insulam trans Maeandrum amnem est, oppida, vici, castella, agri, qui ad Pisidiam vergunt, nisi quae eorum oppida in libertate fuissent pridie, quam cum Antiocho rege in Asia pugnatum est. §37.56.7pro his cum gratias egissent Rhodii, de Solis urbe, quae in Cilicia est, egerunt: Argis et illos, sicut sese, oriundos esse; ab ea germanitate fraternam sibi cum his caritatem esse; petere hoc extraordinarium munus, ut eam civitatem ex servitute regia eximerent. §37.56.8vocati sunt legati regis Antiochi, actumque cum his est nec quicquam impetratum testante foedera Antipatro, adversus quae ab Rhodiis non Solos, sed Ciliciam peti et iuga Tauri transcendi. §37.56.9revocatis in senatum Rhodiis, cum quanto opere tenderet legatus regius, exposuissent, adiecerunt, si utique eam rem ad civitatis suae dignitatem pertinere censerent Rhodii, senatum omni modo expugnaturum pertinaciam legatorum. §37.56.10tum vero impensius quam ante Rhodii gratias egerunt, cessurosque sese potius arrogantiae Antipatri, quam causam turbandae pacis praebituros dixerunt.
All these things, which have been written above, were ordered to be given to King Eumenes. To the Rhodians, Lycia was given, except for the same Telmessus, the camp of the Telmessians, and the land which had belonged to Ptolemy of Telmessus; this was exempted from both Eumenes and the Rhodians. That part of Caria also was given to them which is closer to the island of Rhodes across the river Maeander, with its towns, villages, forts, and lands sloping towards Pisidia, except for those of their towns which had been in a state of freedom on the day before the battle was fought with King Antiochus in Asia. When the Rhodians had returned thanks for these concessions, they pleaded concerning the city of Soli, which is in Cilicia: they argued that those people also, like themselves, were descended from Argos; that from this kinship there was a sisterly affection between them; and they requested this extraordinary favor, that they should rescue that state from royal servitude. The envoys of King Antiochus were called in, and the matter was discussed with them, but nothing was obtained, as Antipater protested by pointing to the treaties, contrary to which he argued that not just Soli, but Cilicia was being sought by the Rhodians, and the ridges of Taurus were being crossed. The Rhodians having been recalled into the senate, when they had explained how vigorously the royal envoy was resisting, they added that if the Rhodians by all means thought that this matter concerned the dignity of their state, the senate would by all means overcome the obstinacy of the envoys. Then indeed, the Rhodians returned thanks more effusively than before, and said that they would rather yield to the arrogance of Antipater than offer a cause for disturbing the peace.
ita nihil de Solis mutatum est.
Thus, nothing was changed concerning Soli.
