⁸ These included the countries of India, Media, and Lydia. They took them from Antiochus and gave them to King Eumenes.

⁹ The Greeks thought about coming to destroy them. ¹⁰ But the Romans became aware of this, so they sent a general against the Greeks and attacked them. Many Greeks were wounded and died. The Romans took their wives and children captive. They plundered them, conquered their land, tore down their fortresses, and enslaved them to this day.
