It is never safe to assume anything with EB, because the next thing you'll know, you will find yourself being chased by a slash-happy, LS wearing, flaming-wardog-oliphont riding, drugged-crazed Gaesatae of the Mighty Bartixian Empire of the Uranians with tendancy to spend too much time with his berserker naked screeching women! So it's very bad to think you can safely assume. Nope. Just isn't.

Besides, Galatia would have very little room to expand; it would be under instant attack from Pontus, AS, Ptolemaioi, Makodon, and maybe even Getai.

However, who knows? Like I said, it isn't safe to assume that the Galatians won't be in. Because then you would be chased by that Gaesatae's cousin: the not quite as drugged but even more drunk Galatian Tindanotae! (he's also angry because no one ever thinks of him when we have LS-flaming wardog spam fests. Tsk Tsk Tsk).
