People of Kommagini, let the glory of Antiochos,
the noble king, be celebrated as it deserves.
He was a provident ruler of the country.
He was just, wise, courageous.
In addition he was that best of all things, Hellenic -
mankind has no quality more precious:
everything beyond that belongs to the gods. (Constantine P. Cavafy)
