…Miletus.

Antiochus having overthrown a tyrant of Miletus after he recaptured the city, the citizens worship him in thanksgiving as a god.

He later organizes an empire-wide cult, as suggested by his epithet, Theos (God).

He also establishes the freedom of the other Ionian cities.

Further, he continues his predecessors' policies of encouraging the foundation of cities in his realm.
