Antigonus to Eresus
letter on the law against tyrants

The royal letter of Antigonus the One-Eyed to the council and people of Eresus on Lesbos, c. 306 BCE — the dossier's earliest royal-correspondence document and the corpus's first Hellenistic edition. The city had passed a law condemning tyrants to death and their descendants to perpetual exile; the sons of Agonippus (executed earlier tyrant) appealed to Antigonus for reinstatement; this letter records the king's decision to defer to the city's own judgment. Preserved on two squared blocks of grey marble at Eresus, with the body of the letter heavily damaged and the opening (royal chairein) and closing (errōsthe) intact.独眼安提柯致莱斯博斯岛厄瑞索斯议事会与人民的王室书信,约公元前306年;这是本组文献中最早的王室通信文献,也是本语料首件希腊化时期评注本。该城曾通过法律,判处僭主死刑,并令其后裔永久流放;被处决前僭主阿贡尼普斯的儿子们向安提柯申诉,请求恢复身份;此信记录国王最终尊重该城自身裁断的决定。文本保存于厄瑞索斯两块经修整的灰色大理石块上,书信正文毁损严重,但开头的王室 chairein 与结尾的 errōsthe 仍然完整。
