Rostovtzeff's view (\*Seleucid Babylonia\* pp. 6, 7) that Antiochus stood behind the hellenised Babylonian Kephalon when he built the great Anu-Antum temple at Uruk would have been in point here, but it was due to a misreading of the date, see p. 26 n. 1; it appears now that the king was Antiochus III. - [Previous: c10.s3.48](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s3.48) - [Next: c10.s3.50](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s3.50) - [Up: c10.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s3) ## Cites (1) - [Βιβλιοθήκη ἱστορική](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.gr.roman.diodorus) — Διόδωρος ὁ Σικελιώτης, Ancient Greek --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s3.49](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s3.49) · Pramāṇa
