Translation
"King Antiochus was eager to gain possession of Ephesus because of its favourable location: it gives the appearance of standing as a citadel, both by land and by sea, protecting Ionia and the cities of the Hellespont, and it is always a most favourably-located defence against Europe for the kings of Asia".
