• This Antioch, which Seleucus Nicator built, 300 B.C., and named after his father Antiochus, was a city on the banks of the Orontes, three hundred miles north of Jerusalem, and about thirty from the Mediterranean. It consisted of four townships or quarters, each surrounded by a separate wall, and all four by a common wall. It was the metropolis of Syria, the residence of the Syrian kings — the Seleucidae — and afterward became the capital of the Roman provinces in Asia, ranking third, after Rome and Alexandria, among the cities of the empire. (“Withstood at Antioch” by W.T.P. Wolston)
