Antiochus was not pleased. He fired off a letter to a subordinate, ordering the end to such abuses:
King Antiochus to Marsyas, greetings. Ptolemaios, strategos and high priest has informed us that many of those passing by take billets by force in his villages and commit not a few other crimes, paying not attention to the orders we have sent about these matters. So make it your duty not only to prevent them, but also fine them ten times the cost of the damage they doâ¦.15
These letters were part of a long string of correspondence, involving both the King, his general and a slew of low-level administrators, providing a picture of the complex local bureaucracy of the empire.
