CHAPTER III.
3.1
MITHRIDATES Eupator was appointed King of Pontus. His kingdom consisted of the country bounded by the Halys,Kizil-Irmak. extending to the Tibareni,Who lived on the west of the river Sidenus (Siddin). to Armenia, to the territory within the Halys, extending as far as Amastris,Amassera. and to some parts of Paphlagonia. He annexed to (the kingdom of) Pontus the sea-coast towards the west as far as Heracleia,Erekli, or Benderegli. the birthplace of Heracleides the Platonic philosopher, and towards the east, the country extending to Colchis, and the Lesser Armenia. Pompey, after the overthrow of Mithridates, found the kingdom comprised within these boundaries. He distributed the country towards Armenia and towards Colchis among the princes who had assisted him in the war; the remainder he divided into eleven governments, and annexed them to Bithynia, so that out of both there was formed one province. Some people in the inland parts he subjected to the kings descended from Pylaemenes, in the same manner as he delivered over the Galatians to be governed by tetrarchs of that nation.
