Basileus/Chancellor Report, Autumn 270

Armies.

I'm happy to say that the Army of Satrapy of Persepolis is finally in it's required strength.
Three units of Pandotapoi Phalangitai are in Persepolis.
Two units Pandotapoi Phalangitai, Akontistai and Slinger units are under command of Captain Hegemonides east of Persepolis.
Hippakontistai unit under command of Captain Sophron is on it's way from Chalkis to meet the rest of the Army.

The Army of Satrapy of Parthava still need some cavalry units but they are already recruited and will soon be on it's way to Hekatompylos.
Two units of Pandotapoi Phalangitai under command of Captain Xenon are near Apameia and will arrive to the Hekatompylos very soon.
Two units of Slingers under Captain Apollophanes are north of Hekatompylos.
Prodromoi unit under Captain Telemachos is on it's way from Seleukeia. It will take some time before he get's to Hekatompylos though.
I also included unit of Dahae Riders to the Satraps army but they are currently a bit understrength. I hope it does not matter since Dahae horse archers are good warriors.

Misc..

Moved Panaitolos Ankyrikos to the Lydian Army just as he wanted.

Sold map information and trade rights to Safot Softim biQarthadast for 1500 mnai.

Offered ceasefire and trade rights to Ptolemaioi if they give Hierosolyma to us.
This is how the governor of that town, Perigenes Bubastites, responded:"An end of war? Perhaps, in the fullness of time. But we see no reason to end the fighting just yet!"

Later our spy found out why he responded the way he did. There is a Ptolemaioi Army south-west of Hierosolyma. It is commanded by Paranomos Philopator and it is quite large! Another Ptolemioi family member is present in that army, Alexandros Traikikos. Current units in that Army: Pandotapoi, Prodromoi, 2 Akontistai, Peltastai, Machimoi Phalangitai, 2 Ioudaioi Taxeis.
If the units from Hierosolyma would join then we will have a mayor threat to our settlements in Syria!

Also I have sent a Hippakontistai unit to Damaskos so perhaps Alexandros Syriakos or Timarchos Anaias Mysiakes could destroy those brigands west of Damaskos. Who ever does that can use the units in Damaskos.

Treasure: ~4000 mnai
