Antiochus III to Magnesia + the Cretan koinon decree: the asylia / Leucophryene-games dossier (Welles RC 31 = OGIS 231; Magnesia 40-41)

Antiochus III the Great recognizes the great festival of Artemis Leucophryene, the foundress-goddess of Magnesia ad Maeandrum. The Magnesian sacred-envoys (theoroi) Demophon, Philiscus and Pheres reached the king at Antioch-in-Persis — far to the east, during his anabasis to the upper satrapies — to proclaim the games and deliver the city's decree, asking him to recognize the festival as 'crowned' (stephanitic) and of Pythian rank (isopythian), held every four years. The king replies that, having always had the kindliest feeling for the Magnesians on account of their goodwill, he accepts the honours voted to the goddess, will help to increase them, and has written to his own officials so that the cities under him will likewise give their recognition. This is Antiochus III's contribution to the famous c.208 BCE panhellenic recognition-drive whose replies cover the dossier-walls of Magnesia; it is a distinct document from the Magnesian replies of Antiochus the son, Ptolemy IV and Attalus I (RC 32-34). This edition is now a two-witness dossier: alongside Antiochus III's letter (Part I) it presents the Cretan koinon's decree for Magnesia (Magnesia 40-41 = I.Magnesia 20-21, Parts II-III) — the federal-league counterpart granting asylia and a civic-privilege bundle in Cretan dialect — showing the cross-genre choreography (royal letter ↔ koinon decree) of the c.208-205 BCE Leucophryene recognition campaign.安条克三世大帝承认马格涅西亚(米安德河畔)之创城女神阿尔忒弥斯·琉科弗律涅之大节庆。马格涅西亚之神使德摩丰、菲利斯科斯与菲瑞斯东抵安条克三世于波斯之安条克 —— 远在东方,正其东征上方诸总督区之时 —— 以宣告竞技、呈递城邦决议,求其承认该节庆为「冠冕」(stephanitic)且「等同皮提亚」(isopythian)、每四年一行。国王答曰:以马格涅西亚人之善意,素怀至厚之情,乃接受所议献予女神之荣,并将助增之,且已致书其属吏,俾其治下诸城同予承认。此乃安条克三世于约公元前208年泛希腊承认运动之贡献,其诸回复布满马格涅西亚之文书壁;与安条克之子、托勒密四世、阿塔罗斯一世致马格涅西亚之回复(RC 32-34)各为一篇。【本版现为双证文书集】:除安条克三世之书(第一部分)外,并载克里特联盟为马格涅西亚所颁之决议(Magnesia 40-41 = I.Magnesia 20-21,第二、三部分)—— 联盟层面之对应文献,以克里特方言授予 asylia 及城邦特权之束 —— 由是显约公元前208–205年琉科弗律涅承认运动中王室书信与联盟决议之跨文类交织。
