Senate, with armies busy in Spain & Cisalpine Gaul, doesn't want war with Antiochus-III. Senate refer the envoys to its eastern experts, T.(1) Flamininus and the 10 legati, who tell them that Antiochus must must keep out of Europe, and if Antiochus crosses to Thrace, then Rome will protect its friends in Anatolia and acquire more. Syrian envoys have no authority to negotiate, and plead for further talks. | 194/3 CAH 8-278 193 B76 IV-171, 8-384, CAH 8-200, DGRBM 2-367, 864, 1041, GHH, atl2 |

| c. 193 | HEGESIANAX, LYSIAS, and MENIPPUS, envoys of Antiochus-III are received by the full Senate. The Greek envoys are also present. Menippus also represents Teos (since c.203 part of Antiochus' kingdom), which had asked him to try to get Roman recognition of the asylia (places where people facing persecution may seek refuge) which Antiochus promoted as part of his public relations among the Greeks. Senate grants Menippus' request for Teos, but adds that the asylia should be valid only as long as Teos maintains friendship with Rome. Since the only way Teos would be likely to lose friendship with Rome is if Rome wars with Antiochus, Antiochus is made responsible for preserving the asylia. | 194/3 CAH 8-279 193 B76 IV-171, 8-384, CAH 8-200, DGRBM 2-367, 864, 1041 |
