Abstract
King Antiochus IV is praised by Athenians for being restored to his ancestral rule thanks to the support of Eumenes II of Pergamon and his brothers. The decree provides the ‘official version’ of Antiochus’ restoration to the throne, after Seleucus IV’s death. Moreover, the inscription sheds light on a turning point in Seleucid history, in both political and military terms as well as dynastic relationships.
