Ich habe einmal gesucht, was aus der Antike über die Großstadt Antiochia am Orontes, das heutige Antakya, und den Vorort Daphne überliefert ist. Viel ist es nicht, was ich gefunden habe.

1. Strabon: Geographie

Seleucis is not only the best of the above-mentioned portions of Syria, but also is called, and is, a Tetrapolis [Τετράπολις], owing to the outstanding cities in it, for it has several. But the largest are four: Antiocheia near Daphnê, Seleuceia in Pieria, and also Apameia and Laodiceia; and these cities, all founded by Seleucus Nicator (1), used to be called sisters, because of their concord with one another.
Now the largest of these cities (2) was named after his father and the one most strongly fortified by nature after himself, and one of the other two, Apameia, after his wife Apama, and the other, Laodicaia, after his mother. [...]
Antiocheia is likewise a Tetrapolis, since it consists of four parts; and each of the four settlements is fortified both by a common wall and by a wall of its own. Now Nicator founded the first of the settlements, transferring thither the settlers from Antigonia, which had been built near it a short time before by Antigonus (3); the second was founded by the multitude of settlers; the third by Seleucus Callinicus; and the fourth by Antiochus Epiphanes.
Furthermore, Antiocheia is the metropolis of Syria; and here was established the royal residence for the rulers of the country. And it does not fall much short, either in power or in seize, of Seleuceia on the Tigris or Alexandria in Aegypt. Nicator also settled here the descendants of Triptolemus, whom I mentioned a little before. And it is on this account that the Antiocheians worship him as a hero and celebrate a festival in his honour on Mt. Casius in the neighbourhood of Seleuceia. [...]

2. Plinius der Ältere: Naturgeschichte

dein promunturium Syriae Antiochiae; intus ipsa Antiocha libera, Epi Daphnes cognominata, Oronte amne dividitur; in promunturio autem Seleucia libera Pieria appellata.

Dann das Vorgebirge des Antiochischen Syria. Im Innern des Landes das freie Antiocheia selbst, mit dem Zunamen Epidaphnes und von dem Orontes durchflossen, am Vorgebirge aber das freie Seleukeia mit dem Zunamen Pieria.
